    Are you certain? :-) This picture does nothing but make me question exactly what I have. I got 10 from Metzer, with 5 sexed as female. Care to take a guess which one of your ducks most closely resembles my ladies? lol At what age do we expect to see the green plumage on the drakes? I think...

    Yes, for sexing day-olds. I was thinking, though, of adult drakes, whose bills and feet are yellow, compared with hens, who are black/black. Please do correct me if I'm wrong. Mine are at 6 weeks at this point, and it's still not certain if I have 2 or 3 drakes out of my batch of 10. I'll...

    I picked up 10 WH ducklings from Metzer this morning. They're all settling in nicely. Here are some quick picks I snapped on my way to the brooder.

    I've yet to add ducks to my homestead, but the more I read, the more I'm sold. Thanks to everyone for the honest comments about the WH and what they offer. Thank you, too, for sharing the hatcheries that treated you well (or not so well, as the case may be), as it's a challenge to find breeders...
