Most people have ducks in their bathrooms, but they are usually made of rubber.
But these nine little fellas are very real, very fluffy and very cute.
They were born six months before most broods, and at a time of freezing weather.
Fearing they would die outdoors, they were rescued by a farmer who put them in his bathroom sink for a paddle.
They've now been moved to the the Secret World Animal Rescue Centre in Highbridge, Somerset where they will stay in warmth and comfort until they are released back into the wild in March.

There's not a huge amount of room and it gets rather dull going round and round a little sink - but it's a whole lot better than being in the cold outside.
These ducklings were rescued by a farmer after they hatched earlier this week - six months before most broods.
Fearing they would perish outside, the farmer took them indoors and later put them in his bathroom sink for their first paddle.
First paddle: The ducklings were rescued by a farmer after they hatched earlier this week - six months before most broods. Fearing they would perish outside, the farmer took them indoors
Rubber ducky, you're the one: The ducklings will be moved to a duckery unit next week
They've now been moved to an animal rescue centre where they will be cared for and kept warm until March when they will be released into the wild.
Pauline Kidner, founder of the Secret World Animal Rescue Centre in Highbridge, Somerset, said: 'It's very important to keep them warm.
We'll be looking after them over Christmas and through the winter.
'Next week they'll be moved to a duckery unit which allows them to go into the water if they want, with a heater to keep them warm and dry.'
