Aztec Ducks!

[Crestcrazy2]

I snapped some pictures of the ducks today! And realized that yes, I do need a new zoom lens. Mine just isn't taking sharp pictures any more. Sorry if the pictures look a bit fuzzy.

Here's a cute little muddy hen:

And this I found interesting. This is two of my porcelain drakes next to each other. They are the same age. The size difference is pretty big. One of them obviously is tending more towards the genes of his Call ancestors than the other. I won't use the little one for breeding. Oh, the white duck is a Call, not an Aztec.

Sorry! Thank you!

No worries! If you haven't read that post, it's got the breed history and stuff in it too, so it's a good read if you're interested in the breed

A little late to this, but are Aztecs basically bantam ducks that aren't calls?

They were created by breeding call ducks and mallards.
