Is there a link for the Oxford show this weekend?
My Black Swedish duck hatched 4 babies yesterday and 5 more eggs to go
Anyone want a White Silkie Rooster?
Our Black Swedish Duck has been laying on eggs for awhile and today when we went to check on her we found three babies!! I keep on looking in on her but she won't let me see them One baby is all yellow though, not like the other yellow and black babies.

I caught one of them (LaPerouse) having a snooze and showing off her bib nicely. I consider this to be a very good bib, pretty neat and a good size for a duck (bibs are usually smaller in ducks than in drakes). I also think it's kinda funny because she looks like she has no head...
My chicks fight over the worms I find while gardening but I've never seen them digging on their own for them. They love mealworms and I can't believe how quickly they dissappear off the plate!

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like them! Gofasterstripe - I love her colour too, pale with a blue bill. Mostly I call her 'Pretty Girl' even though it's not her name
I've got the day off work tomorrow so I can sit and watch them all day. Bliss!!
It's so relaxing to just sit...

Here are some pics of my Swedish - I have 6 at the moment (two trios) and also two cross-bred ducks (chocolate ducks).
Here's my silver drake, Magellan. He has great type but no white flights and a very splotchy bib. He is probably my best, type-wise. He also has no white at all on...
