It might be harder for you to see the feathering but 2 have more speckles and the 2 others have Wyandott coloring in their wings. When they get more feathers I will post. Yeah, I am with you I don’t plan on keeping any dudes. Even Rojer will have to go.

The 7 Silver Grey Dorking pullet's should start laying egg's next month sometime I think, but the egg's will have to get big enough before I try to hatch any of them. The 2 White Rock pullet's just started laying egg's about a week ago.

Well, at least I now know why there was no water next door for those animal's. A irrigation pipe broke 2 properties down from me by the back road. The water that I have going to my coop comes from my house, because my DH had them shut off the irrigation water feed to our property year's ago after he sold the horse's. The next door neighbor run's the water feed to their animal's on the irrigation system. Lucky for them the way that mine is set up, or the animal's over there would have been going the 3rd day without water? I had to run 2 of those 100 foot water hoses from my coop over there to where those 2 goat's are at. I connected the hoses from my water at my coop in order to reach that far.

you never know when/how handy a water setup is until something like that happens..

Lucky for them that we have those long hoses over here at our place. We had to run the long hoses over to the neighbor on the other side of me a few years back when the swamp cooler motor over there blew up and caught their house on fire. They were running 2 separate hoses trying to control the fire until the fire department could get there. We ran our hoses over there to help. The house was destroyed, and they have been living in their RV's over there every since.

Well, well, well... well.. Lorraine is still, um.. can you be super broody? Flip N flap! I am gonna get some baby ducks, I am not keeping them & think I have a friend that will take them. Anyho, more flock drama on its way here. I am hoping that she will snap out of it soon. The other ducks have not laid an egg in forever it seems.
On another flock note, the babies from under Lorraine View attachment 2466059View attachment 2466061View attachment 2466063are getting some pretty feathers.
Rojer, the dad is a Bielefelder... 2 of the chicks are Alohas & 2 from GLW & the black one I believe is from our Araucana.. You can see the pattern in their feathers
I think they are about ready to go out as they are now dust bathing in their food, silly birds.

Is Lorraine a Muscovy?

Yes & has raised ducks before.

I went to a feed store & got the last 4 ducklings yesterday. Lorraine is a happy momma this morning. I let them swim, eat & have fun before they went under her.

Looks like 3 are Rouen ducks. Is the 4th also same. or different breed?

Yes & has raised ducks before. View attachment 2467203

I think down the line, if i put a self circulating/filtering pond in, I might get a couple.

No the 4th is different here is what they could be.
they could be, crested ducks, buffs, Cayuga, khaki Campbell, magpie, mallards, Pekin, runners, blue Swedish & Rouen.
I agree they do look like Rouen.
What do you think they other one could be? I did vent sex & they all looked like they will be hens.

edit, after looking I think khaki Campbell..
