Our little baby duck that looked like a little baby chick turned into a gigantic bird! While Cole was staying with the Nances they got a baby duck and Cole was in love with it. Darryl couldn't resist getting a duck when he picked up our new chicks. The duck grew so much faster than the chickens. It was so funny to watch. He was incredibly messy when he would drink water. He would splash his beak around in the water soaking the ground. His wings didn't grow like his body did. He was this huge bird with little bits for wings. We called him T-Rex because he looked like a dinosaur. Eventually his wings began to grow. He wasn't fully grown when we decided we really needed to find him a new home. He had made a huge muddy area by the food dishes and he was covered in mud and water. He really needed a pond to swim in so we let him go live with the Besendorfers(Darryl works with them). Cole will miss him but it's for the best. He never says anything about the chickens he only says, "Duck, Duck, Duck!" If you look closely on the picture of the duck when it was bigger you can see the other chickens around her. She was huge compared to them but she was so great to take care of them and protect them.
