Thanks for the advice! Yah they’re only 4 or 5 days old now. This is my first duck experience. I’m thoroughly enjoying them, they don’t seem nearly as savage as my chicks lol :)
Thankyou see the one in the pic you posted the one on the bottom left and the upper middle look identical to me,what the heck. Probably shoulda just had them sexed to avoid my confusion. Also had them throw in a mystery duck it’s the darkest I think it’s a Rouen?
This might be a silly thread to start but just wondering if anyone has noticed any kind of correlation between the color of quail and the color of eggs they lay? Or if its totally random depending on genetics? I can't find any information on this online. I have jumbo browns from 2 different...
