I have a scovie that sits in the middle and eggs are around her. I didn't let her sit anyway. I wonder if she will learn how to sit next year (she is about 11-12 mo).

She could be ready to lay, practice sitting , or just is faking so the drakes don't mate with her

That's how they keep the eggs warm yet cool at the same time, it can also be used for the female to coo to her eggs ( so they know it's her when they come out) or for her to turn them, to know which spots are to hot or to cold

So, the time has come to decide who in my flock is sticking around to be breeders. I need some help with colors though. I'll break this into a couple posts to keep things cleaner. Thanks for helping a newbie out!

First, most of my "white" ducks have some amount of this tan color on them. Mostly on faces and between the wings. Is this buff? Cream? Pied something?
