The ones I am waiting on will be 5 weeks tomorrow.  I have one male right now but with the last 4 that hatched I gained more hens.  I need one more mature roo to make it balanced out.  within a week or two i hope

just wait they will change even more

my blue magpie drake started off as a black and white duckling.

he first feathers came in as black and white to .

then he molted and was suddenly blue

i was strictly speaking of calls.

theres not many large sized birds that i do like the look of .

after having bantams they look weird to me .

now the anconas i still love them

and saxony.

I am back and speaking of Anconas....

I took a couple quick shots today and played around with them.  They aren't uber good pics but figured I would share.

My two black meat birds are growing up.  My hatchery Swedish and Cayuga.  They are both starting to feather in and I see LOTS of green!

I didn't get any of the tricolor babies today but plan on getting some new pics of them soon.

i love the duck at the very head of the group. in the last pic.

and the one right behind him  (the featheres in one)

is it just the lighting or do they both have 2 different colors on them.

looks like black and lavendar/blue/ whatever shade it is for anconas (cant keep them all straight since every breed seems to have a different name)
