Although they've barely started to grow their adult feathers, the ducklings are not looking all that much smaller than Esme, Gytha and Magrat did when we first brought them home, especially in comparison to how Letice looked at four months old. This makes me wonder how old the original three actually were, and especially if they were old enough for adult food: is that why Maggers and Esme grew up so small? Is that why Esme was sickly...? (And hasn't Letice grown? As predicted, she is much bigger than Maggers, now.)
Next week, we're going to be getting two new ducks. They are entirely Mike's fault, as he didn't need to tell me that there was a rescue looking to rehome 400 khaki campbells from a farm. It's ok, we're only having two of them. |
