Day 8 All five ducklings have arrived!

Image
  Day 8 Over the weekend the last egg hatched.  Now we have five ducklings in Nursery.   The newest duckling is much smaller than the ones which hatched first.  Look at the difference in sizes in this picture! This shows how quickly the ducklings grow in the first few days. Today the ducks had their very first swimming lesson!  We put the ducklings in some water in the sink and they were able to swim straight away.  They enjoyed splashing in and out of the water.  Watch this video to see how much fun they were having.  After they had a swim the adults needed to dry the ducklings with a towel as their feathers are not yet waterproof.   Did you know.... Adult ducks have waterproof feathers.  Ducks have a preen gland near their tails and this makes an oil which ducks rub onto their feathers.  The oil stops the feathers becoming water-logged and helps keep them dry.
