How interesting that some of the ducklings are yellow and some brown - is it the gender difference?
Thanks Karen!
The color of the ducklings is either yellow or brown, but this has nothing to do with their gender. Yellow ones turn white as they grow up, and the brown ones stay brown.
Bad news though today....! Yesterday mom duck was walking on the lawn with her 10 kids (13 eggs, but only 10 hatched). Suddenly she was scared to death by Zazou and Maya. She hurried older the bushes and found a hole to the backyard of our neighbors, together with the little ones.
We don't know what happened, but this morning she was back on the pond, together with only ............ 2 ducklings.....
Poor mom..... . Lets hope she can keep these 2 !!
We think that some large birds and rats got the other 8 ...! Well, that's nature hey, nature can be very cruel....
