Here are some of my mixed breed ducks. The black and white is the Cayuga momma. The grey ones are Cayuga/Buffs, the darker tan I believe are Buff/Khakis which all turned out to be drakes. I’m not sure about the dark brown and the grayish tan ones. Any thoughts? Please help me identify my girls...
I assume he’s full Welsh. We got him from the local hatchery that sells by breed. I wonder if ducklings show more markers of the mother than they do of the father.
We’ve since found out that the dark brown one from the first clutch is a Welsh/Khaki and the black one is a Welsh/Cayuga...
My Welsh didn’t have the eye stripe when he was a duckling. Here’s a picture of him very young after feathers started coming in. His younger pictures aren’t on my phone.
I had two clutches of duckling with some mixed breeds. I had my Buff girl and snuck two eggs under her that I thought were WH/KC mix, but I’m not so sure given how dark they were. I thought maybe I’d accidentally snuck a WH/Cayuga under her instead, but then my Cayuga hatched out her babies...
