I would say Ancona's or Magpies! They look a lot like our Ancona/Cayuga crosses that just hatched.

Our Cayuga/ Ancona crosses

We have a Cayuga drake and he's pretty good. He does have to be separated frequently because he can overbred our females. He did just give us four babies so right now I like him. Lol It's good for alerting us when things happen but can be aggressive. If you know you want ducklings get a...

Our chocolate Ancona just hatched 4 ducklings! We have a Cayuga drake so these are Cayuga/ Ancona crosses. They are super cute!

Thanks for the help!

I'm so glad your duckling is doing better!

Anyone else have any ideas?
