What a handsome boy! If I didn't already have Sylvester, I would snap him up in a heartbeat.

Some chick pics - all 5 weeks old

OEGB mixed color - am I foolish to hope this is a pullet?


The b/w chick - looks like a silver partridge - love the black head feathers growing out of the white chick fluff


white silkie


dark partridge showgirl


dark blue/ black frizzled silkie


Solo - partridge silkie with gold leakage (6-1/2 wks old)


Silkie x Ameraucana cross - no foolin' me, it's a boy


Partridge silkie


Silver partridge showgirl - not it's "best side"


white (cream?) showgirl - also not it's best pic


Group shot

Well, the look on his face says it all - he is VERY full of himself & tries to rule everyone (birds, not people though).
I have not seen him challenge Jean-Luc but I think it's in the works...


He's watching you, little man...

Cute enough to almost make me what ducks again, almost...

Are these the French Scovies that you mentioned in a previous post?

What makes them French? How do they differ from other Muscovy?

Totes Adorbs! At what age are ducks sexable? I am sure it varies by breed. My Uncle has commissioned me to get him a couple of girls.

Yep, these are from eggs from @chiqita.
I'll defer your breed specific questions to her 'cause I don't know the answers.
I just know I like their looks and personality as adults.
The peeps are really mellow & easy to pose for pics too.

HI ya!

Some say the line is at north Stockton or even Lodi or Galt for northern California. I call myself northern because I am above Sacramento. I lived in Tracy and considered myself central Cal. All I know is I am from Oregon originally...and if you speak to an Oregonian...never say your from Southern Cal! LOL!

I guess I could be more specific when speaking to native Californians...I live in the northern end of the central Sacramento Valley...LOL!

Not sure if that helped...but that is what I have been told.

Welcome!

I candled my eggs last night on day 7 and all 44 are developing!

Trisha

That's great!

I am fifth Generation Californian(on my Mom's side)!

I lived between Red Bluff and Corning--Some still do not call that Northern California. It is though. Did you find the breeds you were looking for?

I'm 4th gen, also on my moms side; my daughter is 5th gen; all thru the ladies side of the family.
