Duck breeds?

[FunkyFarmFlocks]

If the last is a magpie it will be beautiful! I quit raising cayugas and magpies and now have only magpies and they are by far my favorite breed pretty and sweet

Never had any experience with magpies because I haven't came across them around here. Do they tend to be one of the calmer breeds?

If you socialize them well as ducklings, yes. Mine are very mellow- even the males. They’re considered a “rare” breed by the wildlife conservancy so they are not around much. There is a black and white variety and a grey and white!

Drakes can be a handful at breeding season as with any breed. I tend to keep my distance from them when they wish to not see me.

I have 26 eggs in the incubator right now. . Mostly Black and White with a few Blue and Whites.

So ladies do you think that duckling could be Magpie? Amazing if a feed store had them.

Some hatcheries carry per quality Magpies. More than likely the duckling was sourced from either Ideal or Stromberg's

Rouens have 2 eye strips and yes they can sell domestic mallards look at your duckling does it have a toe missing or a hole punch in it's web by chance?

I’ll check in a lil bit and let you know

That’s what I thought!! I know no feed store around here has them and very few hatcheries carry them. If it isn’t a magpie what other breed does it favor?

Ok the mallard looking one has all of its toes and I do not see any holes or notches or anything on its feet. The place I got them is animals and gardens unlimited formerly Agway in new Egypt nj

Does it seem to be around the same size as the others, or smaller?
