Ancona Question

[mamaof2wi]

We hatched some Ancona and I know very little about them. I was wondering if there are things we should look for when choosing what ducks to keep? Meaning markings/coloring etc

don’t choose based on the colors. you are gonna want to keep just one boy and as many girls as possible. to prevent him overmating them.

We are keeping just hens. So picking based on color markings

personally, i would choose the ones with the most spots

I'm no expert but their color patterns re supposed to be random. So don't breed bibbed for example

Just keep your favorites. They're adorable.

Thanks everyone. We have a couple that are our favs and hoping they are hens. They are 3 weeks so can’t tell yet...but I think I can start to hear some voices changing.
