The YaYa Sisterhood and new Choco babies

Yesterday the little choc babies - including 1 yellow duckling ;-D - had their first trip to the day pen, and so their first chance for a proper swim.  They loved it of course, and given that it was 40 degrees here yesterday, they needed it!!  One of them did a whole lap of the little pond underwater, always fun to watch!!

Today they will spend all day out, and are learning to get along with YaYa, DaDa and GitchiGitchi.  I think GitchiGitchi is a drake, as he seems to be having the most 'problem' with the new interlopers.

YaYa looks enormous next to her little friends!!  She is only 18 days older than them!!




DaDa (extreme left) was a yellow duckling, interesting to see how much and how quickly she's 'fading' to white.



Galahs are regular visitors, here cleaning up some of the seed left by the chickens.  You can tell which is the male and which is the female from the eye colour, it would be good if I could remember which eye colour was which sex!!  LOL!!
