I have two call ducks, one of them thought to be a male (though they're still a bit too young to tell). I've placed an order at Metzer's for two Golden 300 Hybrids, one Welsh Harlequin, a Cayuga, and a Fawn and White Runner, all girls. If one or both calls end up being male, would they be big...
This Sunday, I'm going to go look at some two-week-old Call ducklings, the father Magpie and the mother either White or Blue Fawn. Is there anything special about the breed that I need to know about them? I know they'll be loud (neighbors are okay with it) and I know they'll fly (I can clip...
This afternoon, I took my little sister to a nearby pond. There were your normal mallards and Canada geese, but there were also several other breeds I wasn't expecting to see. There were quite a few Pilgrim geese, some Pekins, two Blue Swedish (I think), and others.
I'd like to ask; are these...
I've been doing pottery for a few months and wanted to know if anyone else does pottery. If you do, do you make anything besides pots? I make bowls, vases, cups, and plates.
If you like to write (anything - short stories, journals, novels, comics, etc,.) join in!

My sister says that duck eggs are the most disgusting thing in the world, even though she's never had them. Most of my family won't dare try them, but I love them. So I want to know: What are the good and bad things about duck eggs? Thanks for reading!
I've been wanting some silkie ducks for a while. The only place I can find them is Holderreads. Does anyone know of any other hatcheries or breeders that sell silkie ducks?

I just went past a yard sale on my bike, and I stopped to look. Well, most things were pretty boring, but I found a par of ceramic ducks for 25 cents. One has a bell on a blue string around it's neck with it's wings ready for take off,, the other a sprig of holly on a pink string with it's wings...
I've been wondering about Gail Gibbons' book 'Ducks!' It was published in 2001 andit says that there are 5 kinds of domesticated ducks; Indian Runners, White Pekins, Buffs, Khaki Campbells, and Rouens. I've heard of more. How much have domestics progressed?
I'm making this so there's a place where you can find a link to a game that's been buiried or your just to lazy. I'll start!

I'm thinking about ordering ducks from eFowl.com. I live in Ohio and I'm not sure where they are. I think I will be ordering 10 ducklings. Has anyone else ever done it? And if you have, were the birds healthy, or what? Help is appreciated.
As I said in another one of my posts, my sister wants me to get Cayuga ducks. I've deicided I might get some, just to keep me sane. I also wanted Muskovys or Welsh Harlequins so what I want to know is, do Cayugas get along well with either of these breeds? Any help is appreciated as I don't want...
