    First duck eggs!

    One of my Ancona girls has begun to lay!! While I have observed some mating (or attempts) going on, I’m not 100% my drake is successful yet. He is still young.

    Show me your cats!

    Potiphar is a kitten my niece and I rescued a few weeks ago. He is now fixed and allowed to roam the farm. He seems interested in the ducks, but hasn’t attempted to attack, not even the week old duckling that’s managed to escape his enclosure THREE times this week.

    Show me your cats!

    I have ducks, but Tonks lived in a barn next to chickens before I got her. Sometimes she likes to help me put the ducks up at night. Sometimes she is a hindrance!

    Swedish Blacks or Overmarked Ancona

    OMG!! I just thought it was an oddly marked Ancona. I looked up what an Appleyard duckling looks like. Now I have ANOTHER duck breed...

    Swedish Blacks or Overmarked Ancona

    These are the first day-olds I have had, so I imagine they will be more socialized than my two (almost grown) girls. The runt especially has my heart and we have spent some quality time together.

    Swedish Blacks or Overmarked Ancona

    I saw that as well...after picking up the babies. Looks almost identical to mine.

    calling any one from missouri

    My two girls are Anconas. I recently picked up seven babies that were supposed to be Anconas as well, but I'm pretty sure five of them are Swedish Blacks...so not sure what my plans are since that will cause issues with cross-breeding. I also have a few Ancona eggs in the incubator 🤞

    calling any one from missouri

    South-Central Missouri I recently inherited a house with a large outbuilding and lean-tos attached. I decided to start my hobby farm with some ducks! I’m hoping to add a few bunnies, and maybe some guineas or geese.
