happy new duck year 2026 to all of you!
i just started flushing (high energie feed to stimulate eggs) my eleven girls last sunday.
they looove their evening porridge when the chickens already went to bed.
i ordered a solar coop light for a little more light, 14h would be ideal, i will start...
she is gorgeous <3 you haaave to send me some eggs next year!
About this... i will submit the thesis next week on friday :celebrate
there were times i did NOT think this would happen at all...
Maybe she is "all in" : dusky + Double blue + Brown

If you are willing to put together a breeding group in 2026 consisting of these three girls and the porcelain boy, i would totally order some eggs from you! ❣️❣️❣️
I've send some in early spring (february , cold and...
hello hello , the other color geek, from germany :wee
jeeep , would also go on dark blue dusky for the first girl, especially as i now have a dark dusky girl and a light blue dusky girl myself now and could totally see those two "combined" like this!
do you have, by now, some more pics on the...
yeah... actually we did not get all we wanted... rough year on myself and the ducks....

9 out of 9 ducks , happy
after they´ve gone on streak for nearly 3 weeks until tuesday of last week, im more than happy ,
lookslike they dont like sleeping with the chickens
they are soooo beautiful ducks, gorgeous green shimmer, but please tell me the secret to such clean eggs from ducks? Mine are messy to say the least...

for the time beeing i think i can not maintain a thread for him :confused:
but i have some nice photos for the collection
of course, just for you, another Salix photo, he really gets darker over time
Hosta, my blue dusky girl
A little bit of Tilia, lavender, with her beautiful brown spots...
Yes, that´s my plan. i will add portraits of my current breeding ducks and the ducklings as they hatch and grow up.
this also sounds interesting. In my opinion crested is not desirable in any duck our poultry because of the corresponding head malformations and brain defects, but i think this...
