My "Harriet" seems to have turned out to be a HARRY!!!! AHHHH!!! Now, I have 3 drakes and 2 ducks! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Correct me if I'm wrong, but, all those gray feathers + the yellowish-greenish bill = male. Not to mention the male-sounding voice. *Sigh*... These were supposed to have...

He doesn't seem to be moulting right now. My Swedes are, definitely, moulting. But, Peepers doesn't seem to be right now. He has his flight wing feathers right now, if that's what you mean by his primaries.

I'm not sure what that means. Can you clarify for me, please? Thanks! ;)

So, if I have a mallard/black cross, does that mean I won't ever get to see him with a green head? And if so, then how did he get such a green head last fall? He was getting the white ring around his neck and everything.

He grew up with a pair of Swedish Blues - 1 drake, 1 duck. And I got 2 female mallards in March. The new girls are in an adjoining pen where everyone can see each other. I won't be putting him in the pen with the girls until August when the girls are 5 months old. He certainly ACTS like he...

Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to help my mallard drake with his plumage? He's still in twilight plumage. I only got to see him with a green head for about a month before he changed to twilight plumage and he never changed back. :( He just turned a year old last week. So, I...

My mallard drake didn't get a curl for quite a long time. These two, definitely, don't have curls. ;)

Thanks for responding so quickly, Clint! ...She IS the more verbal of the two. Does this one look like a duck, as well?... Pardon how dirty they are - the green shows up better before they get wet. So I took pics before they went in the tub. They played in the tub while I cleaned out their...

Can you all tell me if female mallards' heads look a little green when they're young (I'm talking almost 6 weeks). My 2 supposed females both have a little bit of green on their heads when the light hits them just right. I'm wondering if I was given 2 drakes instead. This is Harriet. She...

I'm so sorry!

Hey, everyone! I have a question about my mallard. I have a bonded pair of Swedes and a mallard drake. Peepers (my mallard) recently started getting aggressive with Raspberry (Swedish drake) and chases him into their enclosure. He does this all day long. Raspberry is a LOT bigger than he...

AWWWWWWWWWW!!! Pyrrhos, is such a pretty girl!! My Peepers is getting greener and greener every day. I have to take another pic of him and share. He's a pretty boy - and quite the RANDY character. Much to his dismay, my girl Spot (Swedish Blue) doesn't want anything to do with him and will...

ZOMBIFIED!!! What is Erebus??? Is he a mallard??? He's got pretty coloring!!

OH!... And, this is for everyone: Since Peepers is a drake, I believe I have 2 drakes and 1 duck. Is that a really bad ratio? Do you think I should get another duck(or two) to even out the gender imbalance?

Thanks!! :) Since Peepers isn't there yet, I guess we have a couple of weeks before we start seeing the green. ;) ...I wish I could get him to sit still so I can take a pic of him!! He's a little stinker! LOL!

Pyrrhos is so cute! :) See the dark stuff on her bill? Peepers has lost almost all of that now as well as the orange color. So, his is more plain yellow - one of the bigger reasons I believe him to be a drake, actually. But, still no green feathers on him yet. I can't figure that part out...

Glad to hear your babies are doing well, Zombified!! That's great! I was wondering where you were. I'm happy to see you back. I'm pretty sure my Peepers is a drake! There's a definite difference between the color of his feet and the color of his bill (orange feet, yellow bill). He's...

They're both adorable!!!! ...Makes me miss my babies!!
