2019 Spring Ducklings are here!

[WannaBeHillBilly]

News from my Spring Ducklings too: They have started to lay eggs - just four months plus a couple of days old:

The three large eggs are from my almost one year old runner ducks and the two little eggies are from ??? one or two of the new ducks. The eggs have a slightly different color and texture, so i assume two ducks. I also found the remains of a third tiny egg with a very fragile shell. I really do like to know who's early.

This is 20 seconds of my four 5 day old Ancona enjoying their third day of water exercise. They were moved to the tub today because yesterday two of them surprised the wife by jumping from their pool inside the sink onto the vanity. Four can be a handful while I was cleaning the brooder next door. From their markings, it looks like three of them will have more solid black on their back than what I want for breeding stock. We will see what they look like as they grow larger. I think that you will agree that they like part of their day. The you tube address of the video is:

I think they need a bigger pool they want to swim and dive! They are precious @SailorNoMore

Congratulations! They look awesomely cute. I love their pattern. Do you know how many males and females you have or were they unsexed?

@WannaBeHillBilly I ordered four females but I will have to wait to voice sex them to be sure. We are waiting for their personalities to develop before assigning names, so they may not be spot on. If I get one drake that is Okay, but not anymore.
