My friend is saying my Cayugas are mixed because they aren't laying jet black eggs. I get dark grey, light grey, greenish, and sometimes white eggs from my two ladies.
My mom will be taking care of them. She took care of Pickles and Pudge for a couple days when they were about three weeks old. It's just so hard to leave my babies. ;-;
Lol.
Pudge is doing better with the little ones now! They interact well and eat and drink and run around without problems. I still plan on keeping them separated until they're bigger, just in case. This is so exciting for me. Pudge let me hold her a couple of times. I think she was jealous.
I'm...
Yep! They're only out together if I'm watching them. The little ones stay in the pen during the day while Pudge is loose so they can still be around each other but can't get to each other. At night, the little ones come inside and Pudge goes in the pen in case of predators.
They hatched and we (my sister and my 39 week pregnant self) made the journey yesterday! We picked up two Cayuga ducklings we named Archie and Lois. We also came home with a Toulouse gosling that we named George! Not my husband's favorite surprise, but.. Oh well. :D
The new crew! Archie, George...
The best I've been able to come up with is a hatchery three hours away. The only problem is they don't have any cayugas right now. The person I spoke to said they might have some hatching today and if so, I can drive over there tomorrow. It will be worth the drive.
Fingers crossed!

Pickles was killed by our dog last night. We're putting a fence in but it's not done and our dog some how got off her run. Neither my husband or I know how, as her collar was still on. It's like someone came and unclipped the lead, but we live on a 50 acre farm and the only person there was my...
Very glad you told me that. I'll pick some up later!

This stuff, right? Should I grab anything else while I'm there?
Thanks for your help. I've never been good at waiting.
Oh my ducks. <3 I just mushed up a grape tomato.. They loved it. Why didn't I get ducks sooner?!
Thanks a lot!
They both actually have a little bit of white-ish yellow on their chest. I'm assuming that's what you called the bib? Pudge definitely has more white than Pickles. That's really the only way I can tell them apart, aside from Pudge liking to sit on my shoulder and Pickles on my...
I have two ducklings. Their names are Pickles and Pudge. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they're Cayuga ducklings. If not, what are they?
(Play time. :D)
(32 weeks pregnant. Woo!)
