Looks like blue fawn but just a guess.

Looks like a blue fawn to me too, but may not stay that way. Mine were that color at around 12 weeks of age, but they look a lot different today. Here is a pic I took of them this afternoon when feeding.

I say girl. A drake with caruncling that mature would be boxier and bigger and have a different face. As it is, she seems kinda small and her wings kinda short. If it says "eep" it's a girl; if it hisses like a dying balloon, it's a boy; if it has a low, noisy hiss, it's an older boy. She has a very "boyish" shape, though. And yes, I do realize that was all very disjointed. Sorry.

i have a drake that is almost a year old and he does not have this much carunling but my parents drake does. that is a drake not a duck....also ducks do hiss

Huh, okay, I take back my prediction. Now that I'm looking again, that duck looks more like a boy . . . so I think I'll switch to neutrality.
I have females from this summer with more caruncling than he/she, so I'm not placing stock on that. I was just assuming that by the time they've grown that much, the bird is mostly full-size. And the girls do hiss, but usually only when they're upset.
It might help to see a side picture of the duck? And a million more pics because that is one gorgeous color?

Love your pic of your Scovies J and your deer is real nice too.

Thanks, Lydia. That little guy is the first to arrive at my place every afternoon with his mom to clean up my geese's grain and horses' hay. They are not very scared of me anymore.

Here he is with mom, eating hay with my horses:

Pretty one there!
This one is named "Pepper"Flipper is the male , darkwing is the blue/black and Flier is the brown one.


POHI is in front (malformed wing) DarkWing is in the cold frame.

I need to add more pictures because Salt looks just like Darkwing - but now that Darkwing is 3 she is getting so much white on her wings! when she spreads her wings it looks like someone has spilled a can of white paint on them ;-)
