Any chance that's Quasi in the very back of the last picture? That one looks so tiny How's she's doing? Gorgeous pics of gorgeous ducks

You are too good!! Yes, that is Quasi in the back. She's doing great. Still a little runt, some of the ducklings from Grey's hatch just a couple months ago are already Quasi's size or bigger. But she's doing fabulous.

Hello, my name is Liz, and this is my first meeting.....

I currently I have 2 pekin hens, but my goal is to get a solid line of either Ancona or Magpie and breed them

we are currently in limbo with potentially moving out of state so that is my only restraint for adding more. Lol loved reading through a majority of the posts and seeing all the different flocks!!

Edited to add names: Pippy is the lighter beak (the one in their water/food bowl, of course just after freshly cleaned ) and Quackers is the more orange beak who's playing in the mud lol

My poor hubby has no idea what's in store for when I do add the magpies or Anconas

Beautiful ducks. I am amazed at how clean that one in the mud puddle is. Mine always ends up with mud smeared on her .

Haha!! Oh yeah Quackers was a mess after that, Pippy soon followed suit and some of the chickens most the time my white ducks are more light tan the white, we have since put wood chips down in the run so they are less muddy which is nice for the fall/winter here in the PNW.

Such a beautiful pair! Wood ducks are such neat birds!

I think we cursed me when we were discussing predators. An owl killed one of my yard roosters overnight. One was missing this morning and I found a feather pile. Checked my camera replays and an owl swooped in around 1a.m. and grabbed one. Poor fella.

These are “extra” roosters that free range in my yard. No great loss really. I’d rather any aerial predator take them, than my ducks while they are out. The “yard birds”, as I call them, have decided to sleep on top of their coop instead of going inside it at night. I might try to force the final 3 to go inside tonight. Sometimes they roost in the rafters where I can’t reach them, so I never got them trained to go inside. But now I know I have another owl on the prowl.

Thank you! Do you think it’s possible for the pair to have ducklings (Muscovy wood duck mixes)? I don’t think it is, but it would be cool if they could!

I'm not sure, i would kind of think no as well, he's just such a tiny guy. But then again I suppose anything is possible, the size difference I see with dogs is amazing at times.
