Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[Julie Birb]

Maybe I didn't screw up as bad as I thought! She laid an egg in the nest box today. So maybe she will lay another full clutch and I will have some success with the 12 in the incubator. Could be a "Two-fer"!

Heehee that'd be a lot of little fluffers.

I tried to teach them the back-stroke, but they weren't having it.

I wish they had been receptive to that. Backstroke would enable us to see their webs.

And their fat little bellies!

She's lovely!
I would say she's a lilac. Looks to be chocolate and silver (correct me if this isn't possible with your parent genetics!). I have a lilac ancona call drake, but it's hard to see if his color is the same as your girl as he's mostly white
