Duckling Diaries: the Life and Times of a Welshie Trio

I am too brave hearted....I come on here and fight all you DUX lovers even though it is a nearly impossible battle to win, because of you all being so stubborn!

So, with the onset of warm-ish weather (warm being over -20c) I am starting to have drake issues. Flippy and Hailey—the most promiscuous—both have feather loss on their necks and backs. I don't think I've gone out to the coop yet this week without seeing at least one drake, ahem, riding one of the hens.

I have three drakes, but one is a Call and doesn't even try. I've been plugging my ears and ignoring the fact I might have to sell either Scooter or Drake... but my poor featherless ladies are looking like they might want a break. Thoughts, from anyone other than Ralphie? How long does breeding season last?

How many girls do you have? Don't you have 6?
