    So hard to say with genetics! My 'White' duck is a leucistic Swedish. I would have sworn she was a pekin, but here are pics of her 7 babies. The drake is a Khaki Campbell. Christian could be a mix, or part leucistic - I have learned that 15% of swedish are born yellow or yellowish and are...

    No chewing out necessary! I just hatched 10 chicken eggs and knew a duck was slipped in and incubated anyways. Now I have a duck who might just think she's a chicken! We all make decisions we wonder about later. My Swedish (which I got from eggs at Metzer's) started laying at about 24 weeks...

    Humbolt will be 26 weeks on Wed. So she started laying at 24+ weeks. I am in N NV and temps have been down to 24 a few morns. From what I've read here, if they are going to lay they will do it in the snow if that's what they have. There is still hope for your girls this season. Don't give up...
