The duck's a lady

Our new ducklings have moulted their baby feathers and are now looking like they're all grown up.

Our Indian Runner breed duck (on the right in the photo above) has had a few long feathers on the back of her head since she was a duckling. We just thought it was some uneven feathers moulting but after gently tugging at the stray feathers a few times recently, we've come to realize that they are there to stay.

The feathers looked kinda crazy when she was a duckling but as her body has grown, so have those feathers.

Now the girls call her the Victorian Lady.
