Yellow Fluff.

                 Today on the farm, we got a few new animals. With spring fling starting in just a few short days (Friday!), and some field trips also coming up this week - we wanted to be prepared. Thats why we got some new baby chicks, and some baby ducklings! We didn't order as many as we normally do,. There are about 5 ducks and maybe 10 chicks, but that is still plenty enough. In all these pictures they are just one day old! I have to say that I love them when we just get them, its the cutest time in their lifetime. When we first get them they are all so tiny that you can fit 3-5 of them in your hand at once. Plus, they are SUPER fluffy. Our ducks and chicks do live in the same place until they get older. Ducks grow faster than the chicks, so they will move out when they get too large for the chicks. For now though, they are all the perfect size. In these pictures it was about 5 minutes after we got them, so they are not even a day old yet. They were born just that morning.
