We have officially entered the lanky awkward teenage era

I love this picture as he looks kind of deranged 😆

He's beautiful. I NEED to get diapers for my girls so they can hang out with us inside!

Ankle socks work a treat for ducklings! He’s so social I feel bad leaving him on his own so I sacrifice my socks - it used to be the kids odd socks but he’s moved up a size and uses mine now 😂

Kids’ odd socks are surprisingly useful, and mine generate so many it’s a darn good thing. I recently used them in crafting booties for one of my girls post paddle surgery.

Aww what a cutie. Are you allowed to raise and keep native species in NZ? Here in the states you need a license which makes it so hard esp for common species like mallards where we find babies all the time but no rehabbers, unfortunately.

No licenses required here! I was quite surprised when people asked me about this when I first posted him.

I think with super endangered natives like Kiwi you’re supposed to ring the Department of Conservation but these guys are fine

How do you use the sock as a diaper? In the picture, I cannot quite see how it is attached.

It’s a bit hard to explain but here’s the thread I got it from! It shows how to make the cuts

BYC always seems to have something lol, back in June when I hatched my guys they were my daily reading material as hatch day closed in and I was frantically trying to absorb all the info I could lol

Peep is getting his big boy feathers. Duckies look so awkward, when in between the fluffy duckling and feathered duck stage. He is rocking his sock diaper though!

u/pevaryl 1d ago

He is growing a pair of fancy feathery pants which i find so funny for some reason. He looks ridiculous in the cutest way

It's pretty cool, just like you're awkward little teenage dude.
