Duckling Thread!

What do you do with all those babies?

I don't know yet. Only six have hatched so far. I haven't started hatching the dux eggs seriously until now. I've been trying with chickens.

I didn’t expect to have 6 grandchildren...
Was expecting to have 2..

Until I just couldn’t resist the black Swedish and the adorable black ones.
The worker there, she has ducks and she was like “you should get those black ones too”

And wallah! I have (8 in 10 days) 8 beautiful, healthy ducks!

So some of ours have names, not all. The large black crested with a little yellow on the chest is my daughter’s and she named her/him Aflac, the two smallest yellow crested and black are Craig and David because apparently as my oldest son brought them him they cried the entire way until Craig David came on then stopped, as soon as the song was over they started up again. Still debating names on the rest and figure as their personalities develop so will names. With 4 kids age 10-20 I’m sure we will have no shortage of suggestions.

Aflac I was going to name one of my ducks Aflac.. the black ducks with yellow chests... do you mean this? I got this one at TSC.

This is a Black Swedish. If it looks like this and it’s crested, it’s most likely a crested black Swedish.
