Thank you! They all quack/scream loud as can be. I still have them separated from the other ducks. Usually when the temperature drops my drakes chill out. Hoping to turn them lose in a couple weeks.
Sorry for the delayed update. I really got lucky, all females. I will get more pictures soon. I could hardly believe my luck. This one pictured I think is crossed with a Welsh Harlequin. When her wings open you can see the blue feathers.
Getting bigger… I can’t tell if my gander likes or hates them. I have heard they are good dads. Not going to let them interact, but was just curious by how fascinated he is by them. Nobody else seems to really care.
Thanks! They all look so unique. Can’t wait to see how they look like in a couple weeks. It’s cool to have ducks from your own ducks! Hopefully they aren’t all drakes. I would probably just make a bachelor pad.
I have brooded ducklings and chicks on my screened in porch multiple times. I have never had any issues. This summer I have a pair of pigeons on the porch in a secure cage until I get their loft finished. Tonight a Great Horned Owl busted through the screen! The dog barked and it was discovered...
It seems okay. It just isn’t as active. As soon as I touch it will become alert. When I place it near the water it drinks. Just doesn’t seem as energetic.
Thank you so much! I really need some inspiration. I thought it would be cool to fly them, but the more I get to know them it makes me nervous. Maybe just around the yard or close by. We have hawks, but ever since I have had geese I have not lost a duck or chicken (2 years).
