I know where all of you are off to, that darn Newnan Poultry show, ain't you all, huh, huh, somebody get me a blue petite cheap magpie hen

I can't go

but next year I bet I will be there with cow bells on my belt loops so you will reconize me

okay quick question for anyone left behind, lol like me

it states not to let drakes eat the high protien get the laying season going pellets or the oyster shell calcium supplement, but how the devil you stop them in the breeding pen together???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????/

I feed all my ducks (barr the babies) the layer pellets..drakes too. I also have Oyster shell on the side in a 1 gal bucket.

I got a total of 3 call ducks eggs from my Blue Snowy pair w/ a blue bibbed hen(I have no idea which is laying-or both). I got a egg a day for 3 days ...didn't get one today though...but I think I know why....

the girls to heck with laying those eggies...lets enjoy this nice weather !!!!

, I need a Chocolate hen, and a Blue Magpie hen, some one come on help a sister out here

I want me a pair of snowies too

 

[EmtheFishLady]

Yeah, the chocolate, the gray and the blue one are hens. The weird colored one is a drake.


So what are the blue, the chocolate and the drake colors called?

 

[linda_zeagler31002]

Mrs. Fishy, lol, that ain't the issue,

are they for sale, trade, or take off your hands in any kind of way??

I am not a color expert, I am what my hubby says blind in my ear and deaf in my eye

but let me take a shot at it and believe me, when they all get back from the Newnan party,

they all will correct me quickly

okay here I go that black one with that big wad of fur hat I think might be a chicken over to the left of looking at screen, okay then that black duck with the pooffy hair that is some kind of crested cayuga mixed, and the one behind it the is what appears to be a chocolate mix call, and the white one on front with the browns it looks to be a chocolate mixed call and the mallard one is a Grey call if it is call and not mallard, and then the one on front with eye looking at you, that appears to look like either a magpie mix or a pied call, okay back to business

what are you going to do with them???

 

[EmtheFishLady]

I dunno what we are gonna do with them. All but the big black cayuga cross are call ducks. Bought them at the show last weekend. Everyone on that pen came from the show and are being separated from the rest of the flock at the moment. Really don't even know what call ducks sell for. The blue hen is all blue with white. The brown you see is mud from bathing in the water bowl. The Drake is beside the mallard colored female, and the chocolate hen is behind the cayuga.

They will most likely be yard ducks. I just liked them.*shrugs* didn't buy them for any other purpose other than to feed and enjoy.
