WOW COOL! I didn’t know they could be pure white! I think Pekins are so cute but I love the Ancona breed so now I feel like I lucked out and got the best of both worlds with my little guy/gal! Yippee!
:wee
To everyone else following- I’ll continue to post pictures as they grow!
:love
I just noticed that thing 1 looks pretty dark in that photo but honestly s/he is the same shade as Thing 2 which is represented better in the last picture.
I hatched 3 precious Ancona ducklings over the weekend! First one named “Doctor” hatched on its own with the exception of my making a safety hole after internal pipping.
I’m wondering what color doctor could be considering the s/he is ALL YELLOW AND PINK!!! Literally no markings whatsoever. And...

Okay I *thought* I heard a very faint peep once from that egg (“Doctor”) last night. Hopefully I wasn’t imagining things! But I can see he is still breathing, tapping and such...
My worries now move onto the egg named “Thing 1” a bruise is starting to form on the egg towards the point end :(...

I just feel like all I keep reading is about folks hearing peeps as soon as they are internally pipped so I’m a bit confused by this little one..
