Our pekin sat on eggs and hatched 10 ducklings... we are fairly sure they are not all hers lol
The only drake we have is a Buff Orpington, the ducks are pekin, swedish blues (dark and lighter blue, and call ducks)
We don't think there were any call duck eggs.
I've had a look at the colour...
Is there any way to tell what cour ducklings will result from a cross breeding?
We have a buff orpington drake (our only drake) and 3 different Swedish blues and would love to know if there's any way to tell what colours we might get.
We have a small flock and recently hatched 1 Swedish Blue and 1 Buff Orpington...
They are now 4 weeks old, the Swedish blue is starting to quack so we think is most likely a female.
However, having not had any experience with buff orpingtons before we aren't sure about him/her.
Any...
We have a 7 month old Swedish Blue... we were told she had angel wings on both sides and strapped both wings from about 7 or 8 weeks old. It's helped to a point but she 'limps' badly on the side where the wing hasn't lifted as much.
Just wondered if this is common when angel wing isn't...
We have 2 ducklings (hatched 1 day apart) - 1 buff orpington, 1 Swedish blue... hatched eventually last Monday and Tuesday so still young
The Swedish blue is quite a bit bigger than the buff. We wondered if this is usual for the breed or a sign we have a drake... any thoughts?
We are keeping...
Hi all,
We are a family in Tassie with a growing family of ducks... currently 2 Pekins (1 hen, 1 drake) 2 Swedish Blues (both hens - 1 with Angel Wings), and 2 yet to be determined ducklings (1 buff orpington, 1 Swedish blue)
Started when my daughter suggested ducks due to a friend at school...
