Muscovy love. Just ignore the guineas in the background.

Well Elly, I went and took some ducky pics for you. Not as many colours, but definitely some... arr... interesting shapes.
Daisy healing well,

Daffy, changing yet again

Donald and his leading ladies

now when is an "egg pouch" considered too big and concerning? Winnona is 3.5-4yrs old, and I've never seen it so plump.

Thank you for getting some pics! That was really nice of you.
They're very pretty, and I especially like Daffy.
I'm not sure about her "egg pouch", though. I've noticed they usually tend to get bigger after they're a few years old, but I've never thought of it as something that could be potentially harmful.
I always assumed it must mean that they are reaching full maturity.
@Miss Lydia What are your thoughts on it?

Daffy is my very special girl. I'm hoping to get some baby Daffys this season, condsidering she's laying in all the nests I think there's a good chance .
I'm hoping Winny's a maturity thing, but I tend to worry over the smallest things

 

[Claires Poultry]

I pray you have success getting some baby Daffys.
It's perfectly normal to worry. That just means you're a good duck parent and you're just trying to watch out for your lovely ducks.
I do it to.

Remember I said I'd get some pics of the new ducklings? Well, I'm finally getting to it.
Here they are. They hatched on the 8th of September.

I also really like the color of this drakelet - the one in the back, not the front.
That's Ora (Claira) in the front. She is just finishing a molt so her feathers are a beautiful blue fawn again.
