Duck Lovers Unite! - *A Chat Thread*

Those ducks are gorgeous! Ducks getting their flying license photos taken!
My gosh, that's hilarious!

Thank you! Of course, my white Muscovy would look goofy in her photo. She would never pass even the most basic flying test, so I guess the photo would not matter. Poor dear soul gave up flying after several accidents as a teenaged hen - she injured her leg trying to land after her first flight, then crashed into fencing a couple of times. One day, she landed in a bucket, and decided she was done. It’s probably for the best!

Daphne, my Rouen, takes the most flattering photos, but would never really use her flying license. She would make sure everyone knew that she had one though.

My black and white pied Muscovy takes flying very seriously, and would even want to train to get a more advanced sort of flying license if at all possible.

That would be fantastic, thank you! Could you include the end of a ruler or a tape measure in the photo, too? Much appreciated.

I can try, give me a few moments and I will take picture of each drakes feathers with ruler or tape measure. My drakes seem to have longer feathers then the females.

That's alright! It often happens to me, too!

@Kiwibird here are the feathers and the length. I measured from where the flight feathers start and where they end. I also posted picture of all the ducks that I have. I hope this helps you. I didn't post the pekin drake feathers because his flight feathers are currently molting.
First feather is from Welsh Harlequin drake.
Second feather is from Cayuga drake.
Third feather is from Khaki Campbell drake.
Fourth feather is from a different Cayuga drake.
Fifth feather is from Swedish Blue duck, the largest of my females.

Thank you so much, @Cparrott ! I was imagining you had some fallen feathers when I asked you to measure. You have truly gone above and beyond the call of duty! This is helpful, and you have very beautiful birds.
