Are your golden and silver from the same hatch? What were the parents?

I have a golden female and I’m not sure of the Drake probably silver, will i get both gold and silver if i mate them?

They’re beautiful! What happens if you breed gold female to silver drake? What color are ducklings? Mixed?

Do you know if it’s contagious to ducks?

No you’re fine, i didn’t rhink you were grumpy. Lol i wouldnt of used it but a friend that I consulted said it was what i should do and not havimg dealt with this before i took her advice. I’m all for natural ways and/or alternate things. I don’t usually jump so quickly meds but I really didnt...

Thanks for the helpful info. Definitely makes sense and appreciate your time and helpful tips

Ok thanks! I have other chickens in another pen. so I probably will/should put one rooster in with the others. Buf which one? ‍♀️ My older rooster mates with them, when they all free range so they’re familiar with him. So would it be best or make the most sense to put him in with them then...
