Carol's Herd of Ducklings

Remember Carol's new ducklings?  They arrived at the end of April.  

Within a month, their soft baby fuzz disappeared, replaced by something that looked like feathers but not really feathers.  This is the ugliest stage for ducklings.

They grow fast!  Now at 3-4 months old, the mature feathers has come in.   The mature feathers repell water, they look good.     This smaller pool seems to be a bit crowded, so...

... Carol bought them a bigget pool.  While one is brave enough to jump in quickly, the rest are still circling the pool to see whether they should join in.
