That Jumper is so vane....look at all the time she spends on her hair!!!

Your babies look very cute.

What breed of duck you got there?

 

[Ducklove334]

Junna is a black magpie, and Jumper is a crested mallard

Junna is a mayjor camera hog, and Jumper loves to show off, she already looks like shes gonna have a really impressive crest, I sure hope so!

the little Bronze broad breasted turkey pult is also very camera hoggy

they're all wierd

All Mallard ducklings are marked like that as babiese will eventually look like the wild mallard hens you see on ponds, only with a big ol' poof!

I was gonna get a crested magpie but i don't think they had them availible when we ordered the chicks. it's ok though Junna is gorgious I hope she keeps her markings + mottling on her feet and beak

Thanks for saying who is what. I am going to get some ducklings from the feed store and I been trying to figure out what the different breeds of ducks look like at that age.

I guessed that Junna was an Ancona. I was close!

 

[Ducklove334]

Anaconas have smaller spots, I want one of those too!!, but I can't ever find any around, and cackle is the only hatchery I know of that has them, but they're un sexed..sooo
