They do kind of look like that! Since Golden 300 is a hybrid they could just be some cross between Rouen/Campbell/Runner and displaying G300 traits. I guess we'll just have to see how much they lay!
I'm a little sad that my random batch didn't have a Pekin but these babies are perfect in every way. Especially runty lil Butterball.
You think I'm right that they're a mix of those three or that Mort is a Black Swedish?
Hello! I was hoping for a bit of help with identifying the breed of my ducklings.
After lots of googling and comparing cute duckling photos to my five babies, I'm a bit stumped about which breed I have here.
I did some research about the rescue where we got the eggs and these are the breeds...
We have supplemented starter feed, grit, and fresh water available for them! We give them a few grubs to get them used to being handled but we aren't using it as their main food source.
(1) Are you new to chickens ducks?
Yes! My babies hatched during Rosh Hashana! It was a very stressful weekend.
(2) How many ducks do you have right now?
Five! In hatch order: Bill, Mort, Wiggles, Puddles, and Butter.
(3) What breeds do you have?
I wish I knew!
(4) What are your favorite...
