Here is our newest little one. He was born on Mother's Day around 8:30 pm.
Here is picture to try to put it into perspective as to how small he is.
Here he is with his mama.
He has been struggling. Yesterday he slept most of the day, which is not a bad thing but he also looked very lethargic. He wasn't drinking from his mama so I was bottle feeding him. He is drinking 1 ounce every two hours. I also put a couple of drops of molasses in his milk yesterday to give him a vitamin boost. It seemed to perk him up last night. Today he is up and around but it is a cooler day so he is not as vibrant as he should be. We still need to watch him for the next 48 hours. I am really hoping the cool temperatures don't set him back again. Today he is drinking off his mama so this is an improvement.
Seeing as this post is about babies, here is a update of the baby ducks. They are beginning to grow their feathers. Now they are beginning to swim at the edge of the dugout. I have been watching them and they will go out just a bit to pratice swimming. They are able to float quite well.
Here are three of the other kids. They are running and jumping. They are all over the place. It is hard to get a picture of them unless they are sleeping.
