Post your Duck names!
My drake mallard is "Tut" as in King Tut; my mallard hen is "Cleopatra". I have more Egyptian names picked out because I want a Cayuga hen to name "Nefertiry". I also have two pekins the drake is yella duck and the hen is popcorn. I want to get one more pekin hen and name her "Coconut" -
