Calls and Cayugas 2022 (duck diary)

[shawluvsbirds]

It's duckling time!
I like keeping a new thread each year so I have a record of what hatched when and by who.
Follow along if you'd like.
*Beware* There will be lots of pictures.

Her name is Clair and she is a Nutmeg...or chocolate mallard...whichever you wanna call it.
Looks like those babies are all her color so far.

Are your Cayugas friendly?

They aren't sot in your lap friendly but they will eat out of your hand. I can lety Drake a little bit sometimes since I raised him as a single. He even tolerates a hug now and then.

Well, the remaining 4 eggs were expired. Made it to internal pip and no farther. She had these 4 out running around this afternoon.
