Lovely little Magpies! I’d no idea TSC even carried that breed; I keep learning something new every day.

Update: I thought magpie too but they are standing straight up like runners. But I don’t see them in that color

Are they walking upright too, or just standing? My ducklings / ducks will stand tall sometimes, that they almost look like runners, but then they start walking, and they lower down again.

I put on on the ground and it stood up straight, and seemed to walk like a runner, I have a feeling you may be right, bc they look like pics of magpies more than anything. Time will tell!

I am almost positive those are Anconas. TSC gets their chicks from Hoovers, and they don't carry Magpies. We bought two almost identical to yours, and a chocolate muscovy. They are also developing their quack and adult metalics on their feathers.

I promise they aren't magpies. Also mine had a very vertical stance but ended up being like a regular ancona, no runner stance.

Fun fact! did you know that Anconas can lay white, green, or blue eggs?
