that "pekin" looks like the ducklings I just got from a lady, mostly white with few scattered spots she told me they were pekin mallard crosses maybe they were all dumped.... i would take em' all.
I would vote brahma, i have two brahma hens and a rooster mine dont get held or anything but these chickens are still super calm when i do have to handle them for any reason and i think they are soo beautiful to.
hmm I ordered there to just got my chicks this morning... mine were sent out the 16th though... and my card was charged automatically I ordered mine on 12/31 I was expecting them yesterday sunce I'm fairly close to them, so I called and got a busy signal most of the time just keep hitting redial...
noodleroo asked if anyone else had pics not what the orbs may or not be.......... and I agree noodleroo I don't know what it is in the pics but the idea of those passed on is a warming notion.
well...like mychookschick I planned on fuzzies orered from cackle due to arrive mar. 16 or 17 ....but this saturday I plan to go to an auction/market where they are always selling lots of animals including ducks! my one huge weakness....I plan on 4...yeah I'll come home with 12...

alright thanks, I've heard good things about cackle and they are only 3 hrs away and also had the breeds of chickens I wanted so when I order my ducks I'll get them from cackle to.
Thanks! I am already ordering chicks from cackle, the anconas come in more than one color from cackle? It kinda looks that way from the picture but I didn't see it om the page like the other to hatcheries stated. Has anyone ever ordered ducklings from cackle?
I'd like to have some ancona ducklings...I have to hens with the black spots, but I'd like some in other colors does anyone know of a hatchery that has them?
I have seen eggs on here but I'd prefer ducklings...
