Da' Cute and Cuddly Call Duck thread!

[Amykins]

And don't forget egg ducks... My duckies give me a mess'o'eggs

Wow! you show horses... That has to be crazy at the ribbon level - nope, disqualified, ear pointed the wrong way when I clapped my hands... LOL.

@gentila : Entie may not be show-quality, but if that photo is any indication, she sure knows how to strut! <3

And yeah, isn't it cool how Cas shows horses? She's got thoroughbreds and...some kind of pony breed, I forget. D'oh! But they're sooo pretty. I wish I could have horses. Everyone around here has 'em, I live in a neighborhood called "Bridle Trails" for pete's sake! But I just don't have the time or money to do it right, you know? And I totally agree on how stringent the judges are. When I showed my betta fish I saw some pretty ridiculous disqualifications. I can only imagine it's compounded tenfold when it comes to horses. x_x;;

Wow! Beautiful. I don't think I have ever seen that breed before. Bet it's the biggest animal to show up on Da' Cute and Cuddly Call Duck thread!

Edit: and now your username make more sense

Awesome! You know when I look at the "help-first-time-hatching" link I can't help but laugh when that is where your horses and ponies are... Gives a new meaning to "Horse Feathers".

We got 5 ducklings at tsc this year our first flock they're still young and kept inside we started with 3 2 are runners no clue what our black and yellow is he has outgrown the runners by a lot my question is, we got 2 more 2 weeks later they're the mallard pattern but they are still so tiny compared to the others could this mean they are going to be call ducklings? They're bills are shorter and they have short legs, they are 2 weeks younger at least than our original 3. If they are call ducks will it be ok to keep them with the runners and our mystery large duckling? Everyone gets along and they've all bonded with each other I would hate to separate them

Funny, I bred (but didn't show) bettas when I was a teenager... Well I tried to... Take the male out the bubble nest fails - leave him in, he eats the eggs.

When you can't watch them , I would put a divider between them (maybe that they can see through). If there is more than a 2:1 weight ratio, the little ones might get trampled no matter what they are. Does your mystery duck look like this:


If so maybe a Black Swedish...
