When I took them out earlier today, Tater felt the need to get the grass I was laying on. He was trying to make his way under my arm. It was so cute, I moved up some so he could wedge his fat hiney through. He popped up right in my face, eyeballed me and went back to finding the perfect blade of...
Yeeeeeah.... I've officially given in. He's so stinkin sweet, I don't really have anything to whine about. He's such a laid back and good boy. At this point, right? Hormones haven't hit him like a freight train.
Well poo. I knew the blue wouldn't tell me anything but color, I was just excited to have 2 silvers. I'm not too thrilled about one duck and one drake. The coop set up we're building will make it possible to separate them for a while, so we'll get through breeding season without letting her get...
Do I have a pair of WH's or 2 females? I've heard them BOTH quack, but the duck with the lighter bill just stopped...? I thought I was hearing things, then she quacked in front of a bunch of people! She hasn't done anything but squeak like a dog toy ever since. Both ducks eat shavings like...
Forgot to say your ducks are beautiful! Pretty cool that you have a silver and gold. Did you order them? We got ours from a feed store (Orschlens) who uses Estes Hatchery. The female is sure I have her in the menu! I've had to do vitamins and 3 diff splints on the boy's legs, so she is sure I'm...
That's hysterical! But you know... Now you've set yourself up. Dora has no inside voice what so ever! They're gonna be SO LOUD! Do they quack at you and then just stare, waiting for you to answer? Lol. Awk.ward! Now you just need Backpack and Map. Preferably a hen with a yellow beak for Backpack...
I've come to see that this is the eternal question! Drake or hen? Drake or hen.....?! Lol. I wonder if no early indicators makes it easier to wait for curly feathers or harder? I think I'd be sitting there with my phone's voice recorder going so I could obsess over their quacks! Lol I really...
Agreed on the WH being a prettier drake. If I didn't want to have lots of eggs, I would stay away from Campbell's for sure! I'm already wondering how I'm going to handle the amount WH's can lay!
Btw, your duckies are adorable! I'll definately be ordering or buying from a breeder here the next time. I want to get a couple more. What a cute little pile of bills and fluff they are!
I don't have the quote and comment procedure figured out yet.... Jessilynn, funny thing is, your pics are the ones that threw me for a loop! Lol. Both of my ducklings are actually darker than your Goldie. I was shooting into the sun and just generally stink as a photographer! I see dark brown...
Wait! That sounded rude about my neighbors pekins! Their ducklings are a few weeks older than ours. They have 2 pekins, a mallard and a Rouen. Their kids have worked with their ducks so much, the ducks will rest their heads on the kids shoulders when they're picked up. Maybe I'm mistaking...
I've seen 1000(!) duckling pics and should be able to spot the diff in a gold or silver duckling. Alas, not to be. Any guesses?
Ok. So those last 4 pics were just because they were cute. We just got Tater the drake and Tot the drama queen 3 weeks ago, but they are family! They've...
