    Need an Answer to Question About Hatching Ducks Quickly

    Here's a pair I helped - they made it but the stronger one had spraddled legs. He seemed to help the other along but it as pretty dicey there for a bit. Another time I had the temperature just a bit too low and the humidity a bit too high. I lost everyone. It was horrible.

    Help identifying "Blue Mallards"

    Hi :) I am hoping someone can tell me what color these are. The guy I got them from said they were "Blue Mallards" but I think it might be more complicated than that. I'd like to breed them and have been playing with the genetics but since I can't get a firm handle on what color they are, I'm...
