Call your Governor, get a bounty put on them!

I'll trade you a half dozen call dux for one pocket gopher. I'd like to see one.

Yes they are. That was Jane in the pic one of my smallest. But the others aren't much bigger.

Black is dominant So the ducklings will be all black bibbed. Well, as long as the black bibbed has two copies of extended black. If it only has one, there could be surprises

Thanks much Pyxis! I’m very excited!

Sooooo...this happened today.
I thought they had another week or so to go yet. I am getting really bad about not paying much attention to what's goin on out there. We went on a feed run today and I opened the door to the palace so the DH could bring in the sack of feed and out runs these two little ducklings.
He says "uhhh.....hun? Wtf." I may or may not have remembered to tell him I had a couple broody girls.

Ya want them? It's a chocolate and a Grey.

One of my cayuga ducks has had a helluva week or so. She had a little hole in her web that she has had ever since I got her. I noticed one evening she was limping when I went to lock them up for the night but I didn't think much of it she just limps from time to time from all the hop on top games and normally gets over it in a day or so.
The next day I realised she actually had a little stick shoved through that hole in her web and it had gotten all twisted up. Poor baby!

 

[shawluvsbirds]

We got it out but that hole ended up ripping. It looks ok now though I think. Better than I expected it to look actually. I was worried it would keep on ripping.

So then..after all of that, I noticed her zip tie had gotten worn out and somehow slipped down around the bottom of her foot. I'm sure that felt great. No idea how long it had been like that. I'm feeling like a terrible duck mom.

I would love those colors but I'm having Varmint issues right now so I need to wait till almost spring I should have te issues sorted combo of fencing nets and eradication. And the duck run will be completed tested and tiny call duckling proofed They are so tiny I don't want them to be able to get away from mom and be got. I know I have to get a pair before i'll have ducklings But easier and better to build in the first place than adding stuff piece meal as I go. So as much as I'd like some little fuzzy cuddlies right now I gotta wait and hope for the pretty colorings when I get them.
