Congrats looks like you're getting the hang of all that incubating jazz

It was too much fun.

So I have Pekin ducks?

I don't know how you could possibly tell if they're "white layer" offspring or Pekin. I had presumed white layer because the seller is producing eggs so wouldn't they get a commercial layer type? But, it's also possible the egg supplier is selling both balut and Pekin ducklings (popular for meat use, right?)

Anyone else's day go like this: 1) cook breakfast 2) check byc 3) tend to chickens 4) check byc

That's a really good point. Since they're selling eggs I would imagine they do have some commercial layers. Maybe she has one of each and maybe that would explain the size diff.

Does brownish yellow duckling mean white duck?

Does brownish yellow duckling mean white duck?

I'm nowhere near 100% sure but if you look into the white breeds, many of the duckling images provided are more yellowish brown.

Pekins end up solid white but the white layers can have some tan feathers. They both look like yours as ducklings in the pictures I'm seeing.

Where is @Pugsabi ?

I was peeking in every once and a while, but we had our pipes rerun/replaced in the house on Saturday and one of them decided to spring a leak so I couldn't hang out too much.
I did get to see your last live!
I'm at work now. They are a lot more strict about phone use during the week.
This is one of my robots. It's a robotic arm that loads the parts for me.

Is the puppers going to drown in his jail or did they stop the leak?
