My 6 week old ducklings are nearly feathered and are absolutely gorgeous!!
I would love to know what to call these colours and anything else you could tell me re:genetics.

This first one is Stormy. A beautiful red/blue/silver.

And this one we have names Silver due to the fact that it is like liquid silver in colour.

May I ask where you bought your eggs from? I’m looking to add some runners next and yours are absolutely gorgeous!

I got them from a friend. She's in Eastern Ontario.

I should have eggs this spring. Are you in Ontario?

Thank you! That makes sense. It seems like all of the most interesting colors are in the UK and Canada. I haven’t seen as many in the US. If anyone knows any breeders that do, please let me know. I suppose shipping eggs from Ontario to California would be a bit too much on the eggs! Your ducks sure are beautiful!

Ya I don't know the first thing about shipping eggs let alone cross boarder. Hopefully you can find some.
