    I need help identifying these two

    They look more like a khaki crossbreeds to me, too much grey in the torso. The bills are blue, I have seen a blue billed khaki drake before, the majority of the khaki males have greenish bills. Most likely the crossbreed of Khaki and production Rouen. Drakes have two plumage types throughout the...

I need to know what does a crossing of Blue Fawn and a snowy bird produce, aprox 50% Grey and 50% Blue Fawn? (same as Grey x Blue Fawn?) this is what the online gene calculator says, but I keep...

    Dominant Mallard bantam hen won't let Call drake breed her and attacks him when he breeds other hens.

    Thanks for the reply, hopefully things will sort themselves out over here soon. Funny to say yours attacked the hen, when my drake mounts the young mallard hen, the dominant mallard hen attacks the drake, and the rouen attacks the young hen! but this only happens in that combination.

    Dominant Mallard bantam hen won't let Call drake breed her and attacks him when he breeds other hens.

    Also thought I should mention that the rouen and dominant mallard do the sideways headbobbing to each other and also mount one another, is it possible the mallard is pushing away the call drake because socialy she has a "mate" for this season?

    Dominant Mallard bantam hen won't let Call drake breed her and attacks him when he breeds other hens.

    My nearly three year old Mallard bantam still won't allow the blue fawn drake I introduce to them two weeks ago to breed any of the female ducks. He breeds the mallard hen he came with, and attempts to force the rouen hen to copulate (this rouen is the absolute best friend of my dominant mallard...

    Considering Grey Mallard X Blue Fawn Pied Call... what should I expect?

    I have a three year old mallard hen that proved multiple times she can sit and brood for a while, multiple times. This was before I purchased my new blue fawn call drake, I was considering letting my hen go broody on live eggs, thus breeding the two. Not completely sure I want to do this yet...

    First mating season

    Hello, may I ask if you know what hatchery your mallards are from, yours seem to have a good coloring on them. I have been considering having a Mallard breeding flock, and I want to find some wild quality colored lines because my mallard hen I have has Dark Coloration.

    Afraid of first snow...too cold....something else?

    My four year old hen still refuses to go into snow, and it snows every year here! The ducks kind of like the snow.

    Neighbor Took My Chickens

    I haven't seen anyone mention the peachick. Assuming it was still young it could've been taken by an animal, but if the neighbor has captured that bird, maybe it could be a bit easier to proving the ownership, as peafowl aren't super common. Although because of this, it may even be harder to...
