I wasn't sure I'd like them but have found them to be attractive and friendly so far. Hardy robust little birds.

River is beautiful! I used to have a Self Blue pied girl that was similar in pattern.

Interesting perspective! thanks.. i have 3 drakes here so quite hard to narrow it down. I was just surprised at the obvious lean toward drakes with my hatches.

I gave my ducks, now almost 4 months old, their first live treat today. I went to the store and got feeder goldfish and put them in my ducks baby pool. Two of them, including my Muscovy, Apollo, had a blast and went nuts trying to catch them. The other two were kinda confused and just watched. I thought it was hilarious (:
