Names -- Small, Medium, and Large! wow, such a huge size variation.

I have a duckling named Bianca. I just knew she was a girl when she hatched. WRONG.

We had a boy cat named Della for the same reason...

Too funny that you say that @WVduckchick ... We’ve been referring to them as Big, Little and Littlest.

I try to think of generic names, and then something will happen and a name will pop up, and it sticks. Bianca hatched with Squirt. I was sure Squirt was male. Wrong again! LOL But at least Squirt is ok for a girl duck.

Our super sweet Aunt and Uncle sent this crazy realistic Mallard decoy in the mail today ...

 

[Miss Lydia]

Boy they sure seem interested. Maybe they are thinking, Could that be dear ole dad? lol

 

[littlecollier]

Oh man, so I was worried about the Littlest being so little and reached out to the woman I got them from and she’s thinking it’s a boy and a girl. I’m pretty sure (but not certain) that Big is also a boy ... I’m not going to freak out yet but ...

What if I have to rehome one? I’ll be so sad! I don’t think we can add another five ladies to the flock ...

 

[Miss Lydia]

How about another 3? 2 each per drake? unless you think you could part with one.. We'll just hold out for 3 girls 1 boy.

Big was my partners choice (he fell in love with “him” ... hoping “her” ... immediately)

I was so tempted to make sure we had two girls but I couldn’t break his heart like that.

Maybe the bigger Little is just ... A big lady! I hope I hope I hope.

Ugh ... And we won’t know for sure for weeks!
