Need help IDing this pretty girl

Awwwwee!! They all look sooo happy!!! Such adorable photos of beautiful cutie ducks!!! I love the one of Kiki giving kisses and Osono all muddy <3 what a sweetie!!! Mine are just starting to eat from my hand but I have to keep very still!

So, some drakes are gentlemen? I had a Pekin drake that I nearly culled because he was chasing my small Khaki around like crazy. I wondered if he would drown her because he was so frantic in his attempt to mate. He has a good home now with Pekin females. That's cute that your drake took his time to accept her.

I don't have a Cayuga yet, that's the black runner drake. And... Golden Hybrid Layers (3), White Layer (1), Muscovy (maybe they are mixed with Khaki, they are brown) pair, the runner drake and his gf Peaches (fawn and white girl). And 2 young Khaki ducks (pretty sure I have a male and female) and, of course Kirby the Ancona. I want to get a Cayuga. But probably will end up buying a dozen Ancona eggs to hatch out :love
 
Thank you! I really love my ducks, they are so entertaining to just hang out and watch, or bring them treats. It feels so good when they start to trust you too! That first time they eat out of your hand is pretty amazing

He's not quite a gentleman, but he's pretty good. Kiki doesn't understand that ducks are meant to mate in water, he only does it on land, so there's no worry of him drowning anyone. The only times he's shown hints of aggression is when we introduced new ducks, but even then he never hurt them, he'd bite a bit but not hard. And like 2 days ago he realized that Osono is also a potential mate, before he had completely ignored her, and again he hasn't hurt her, but he's pushed her to the ground a bit. Usually the girls are the ones who initiate anything, for a while he only ever showed interest in one of them. He's also rather inept, the other day he got on top of one of the Cayuga girls, fell off, put one of his feet back on, but then got distracted and decided to just reach over for a drink and ignore her. He leaves the girls lying on the ground ignored relatively often.

Oh right, yes I forgot about Golden Layers and White Layers because you can't get them where I live, never researched them when picking breeds. They're very pretty! Your runner drake has lovely colouring, and fawn and white runners are so cute. Your Muscovies look pretty pure to me, I don't have a lot of experience, but their body shape is right for pure Muscovy, are they young? They don't look like they have red faces yet.

I've got 3 Cayugas, Carue, Osono and then the white Muscovy you can see in the background of some of the pictures, Shiro. Originally planned to only have the 3 Cayugas, but clearly with ducks it's hard to stop, haha. When Kiki turned out to be a boy, I decided to play it safe and get a couple more girls for him, got Carue and Osono together, then Osono seemed like she spent a lot of time alone, and she's such a sweetheart, so we thought we'd get another Muscovy so she had someone to speak the same language as her.

Ooh, if you hatch out some Anconas, make sure to post pictures somewhere on BYC, I'd love to get to see them!
 
she looks li

ke an Ancona I have one that looks like her the one in the back the three in the pool came from my last hatch.sorry I don't have a better picture of her.
 
Such beautiful ducks!!!!! I am really in love with the different markings on these Anconas <3

Blue eyes? Can someone shed some more light on what the colored eyes are about? Mine are all brown except the Muscovies, which I guess are not exactly ducks. And the Muscovies have neat cat colored eyes. What other breeds of ducks carry a colored eye gene? That sounds so beautiful and I would love to have a blue eyed duck.. Especially an Ancona!

I bought 2 Ancona ducklings...
