Our two eldest duck drakes are called Sir Francis and Walter. For all if you overseas, Walter Drake is a mail order catalogue that sells stuff like address labels and dress shields and elastic jobbies you put around your head and under your chin to take care of human wattles. Not a high end catalogue but not a precisely high end duck, either.
Here's my house:

Here this should keep you occupied for a while -

I have ---

2 White Leghorns - They are great, lay me an egg every day, I call them the Leghorn sisters

This is my favorite picture of them.

2 RIR bantams, they have both gone broody for my twice and I have only had them for about 6 mths.

1 Firzzle, she is so funny, When she was younger we called her "Cornflakes" because her feathering was the colour of cornflakes and they where all curly and twisted like cornflakes.lol. We now call her "Frizz McDuff" or just "Frizz".

4 Wheaten MARANS, these are my favourite breed and cost e quick a lot ( over here in Aus Marans are rare ). I paid $80 for two 12 wk old pullets last time but my newest ones only cost me $60. My first two Marans are called "Marzipan" and "Maranda"...get it MARANda

and they are French Wheatens. My other 2 new ones I have not named yet and 1 is a Blue Wheaten and a Clay Wheaten.

2 Araucana hens and 3 Araucana chicks. My two Araucana hens are not the best, they haven't laid any egg since Winter started. My chicks are so cute, they where all raised by one of my RIR's and my Frizzle. Yesterday I just sold one of the Araucana chicks as he was a rooster. The 3 chicks are called "Pip", "Pop" and "Pap"!!

Here is just a little photo I edited, just for fun. This is when they where day olds.

4 Langshans, they guys are great, top layers. Non of them have names.

4 Sex-Link they lay me an egg everyday, even still laying through Winter, they are so friendly.

3 Ancona's, I love these girls, so fun to watch as they are so flighty, they started laying at only 17 weeks old and haven't stopped. Top layers and real friendly.

1 Wyandotte, she is the cuttest, her name is Specks, she Originally did have a friend but sadly died for unknown reasons

. They are called Spicks and Speck

!!!

1 Mix chick, she is real friendly but hangs out in the back ground. She could either be Araucana X RIR, RIR X Langshan, OEG X WLH bantam.lol. So it could be anything. I hope it lays blue eggs though that would be great.lol.

and Finally 1 DUCK called "Jemima" ( as in Jemima puddle duck ) and my favorite White Leghorn Rooster called "Pew Pew". You may have seen Pew Pew on the carrousel for CPOW a few weeks ago, that will tell you all about him if your interested.lol.

AND that is

I love it Luke! You really have a thing for writing! I was entertained the whole way through both this post and in the one about your rooster on CPOW! I love all your names,so creative! And those pictures are super cute! The marans are pretty rare over here to, at least in S.C. but I don't know how much they cost. Most of my chickens don't have names. There is Texas Spitfire and she hates me, lol, so much it's funny. She thinks I'm the reason her eggs didn't hatch. Trust me I'm not! And then there is Tiny, a little yellowish white bantam that dad and I assisted hatch and she was "born" seemingly premature, even though she had pipped and it was about a week late! So anyway she was hatched with her eyes still closed and she was soooo little we didn't think she'd make it, but she did, a very friendly chicken even to this day! And then there is Ding and Dong, sadly Dong is dead. But Ding his sister is alive and well. As chicks Ding and Dong were born to a first time broody mother that decided she didn't want any babies after all so we took the chicks and you know who adopted them? Well, Tiny the Chicken did! At only a few weeks old she decided to be a momma and she would tuck them under her and feed them like she hatched them herself! Ding and Tiny are still bestest friends! And then there's Raven a black bantam hen that turns white speckled every time I separate her from her chicks! No matter how old they are until she hatches another one she stays spotted! It's happened twice now, lol! And then let's see who else.....OH YEAH! I can't believe I almost forgot about Peggy and Gorilla! So MPeggy is another BEAUTIFUL bantam hen, at least in my eyes she is, that became oh so friendly the first time everyone went broody. I don't know why, she didn't go broody just got real nice, would talk to us and fly up and land on us. Still is friendly, likes to be pet. And Gorilla is my favorite chicken of them all! He is a black Silkie and what's funny about him is that he loves to raise chicks! I have actually given him orphans before and he looks after them and gives them food, even makes the same sound a momma does! When there old and I take them off the ground to move into the hen house poor Gorilla get's so sad! So I always try to have some baby down there with him. The other funny thing is he can't see to well and will run into the tree, the wall, the fence, your leg, anything! But if one of his "kids" squeezes out of the gate.....boy does he go flying over and start scolding them to come back! I don't know how he sees that! So I have pictures of some of these guys, but not all of them.

That's Gorilla.



And this Yellow, I forgot him in the above but he is our sweet and very loud Bantam roo



And these two are of Peggy.

Thanks Megan, I love writing as well!!
Your chickens sound great, sounds like you have had some great experiences as well!!!
I LOVE GORILLA

and I hope you don't mind me saying but he actually looks and reminds me of a little Gorilla.lol. That is SO cool how he likes to raise chicks, how cute!!!! DO you have any photo's of him with his chicks?

What breed is Yellow, he is breed that I have never seen!!
Sorry about Dong, they sound like fun...Ding and Dong!!
Is Peggy an EE, she is beautiful.

 

[qwackers]

You should see who lives next door! They have ducklings, too!

Pmsl!

 

[chickery-do]

You've got to be kidding right! Omg! No way!

 

[Megan Amber]

Peggy is a bantam of some kind, lol. Most of my bantams, including Yellow, are what I lovingly call mutts. So mixed I don't know what they are! She doesn't lay colored eggs though, so I don't think so. Sadly as of right now I don't have any pictures of Gorilla and his chicks. I'll have to get some!

 

[chickery-do]
