Duck ID

[WVduckchick]

My husband named Duckter J. He was an avid fan of old school basketball, with Dr, J being one of his faves. Duckter J had a tuft of feathers that looks like Dr. J's hair back in the day.

And wow, Duckter J looks just like your avatar!!!

Love this!!! Duckter J.

Oh no! I am so sorry for your loss. Your poor Drake!

We never anticipated a Rouen, so this is a wonderful surprise.

Mordecai has a little bit of white on his breast... I'm not an expert at all, but maybe he is a Black Swedish?

Duckter J (love that btw) looks to be runner or runner mix. My avatar is a runner.

Not a runner at all as the stance is wrong

Right. My runner never stands like a regular duck.

I think it depends on breeding. You probably have a better 'quality' than the ones they sell at TSC. My runner stands 'normal' a lot.... Here's a younger pic of her next to my Pekin.

Sunshine looks just my female Rouen, although I lost her to a preditor yesterday. My drake is a mess without her.

Oh no that's horrible - I'm so sorry!

They are the sweetest birds I think, she was lovely. I am definitely looking for another one to replace her.

Duckter J stands still like a typical duck, but when he is on the move, he is nice and tall. It almost looks like he is on his "toes" while running and walking. He also dances. It's a weird, stationary shuffle, but it is endearing. The only time his body is lowered is when everyone is at rest. Otherwise, he is nice and tall.

Hmm, interesting. Again, not a breed listed on the guy's website where we bought them. S/he does have a beautiful green sheen in the sun. I will keep an eye on this.

THanks!!!
