Probably Eggatha
A. Nope. I think I know that Eggatha is always first at everything, and Maisy is always last, but they have all grown to be the same size, with no distinguishing characteristics that I can detect.
Q. When can they swim in the pond?
A. They won't have their waterproof feathers for several weeks.
Q. How can you tell if they're boys or girls?
A. Right now, only an expert could tell. When they get older, boys get a curly feather at the base of their tails, and girls begin to quack. Males don't quack, they just kind of mutter.
Q. When will they start laying eggs?
A. In about 5 months. That's another good way to tell.
Q. Will they live in the pond?
A. No, they'll live in a coop with a fenced-in pen to keep them safe from predators. But I'll take them for field trips to the pond and the garden.
Q. How will you get them to come out of the pond?
A. Good question.
Can YOU tell them apart?
