Duck ID Needed w/Pictures

[Goat_Walker]

Thank you

Ive seen some ducks that look like a buff in the summer and a magpie in winter. You never know what you'll get if you dont know their linage. My three original ducks are rescues and thats how they were. They are over their skittishness now thank fully. At times they try and run from me but they know its no use because I will just catch them in the end. I have such smart ducks

Once they are in their permenant fixture, or have calmed downa bit - id love to see some more pictures

Well, I'm going to enjoy watching them to see how they turn out. I hope to have their pen finished in the next few days, if it will dry up some. I'll get some more pictures after that. We have a kiddie pool to put in with them. One of my pekins was floating in his water bowl today.

Hopefully, once they're settled in they'll be more comfortable with me.

Im right there with you when you talk about a wet pen! ours is more of a mudhole at this point.

Yes, it makes digging the holes for the posts easier, but my gosh, I'm sliding all over the place when I go out to feed/water the animals.

I know! Today I went out and ended up landing on my fanny! all the boys thought it was funny though considering they decided it was time to "dog pile mommy!

I went out to feed today and they met me at the fence so they are quickly overcoming their fear of me. They still won't get too close but that's ok. They are talkers though and seem more vocal than my pekins.

 

[Goat_Walker]

yay!!

If they are more vocal they might be females. My drakes only talk when they see a female, food, or stranger animal.

Well, I have four more duck eggs in the incubator. This is my first hatch, but it appears that two are developing, can't tell about the other two. Hopefully, I'll have more ducklings to add to the group when they're old enough. Maybe some of them will be females.
