My 1st Flock (Ducks)

[Kholts]

Update:

The 2 new ladies have settled in pretty well. Wilma (crested) still gets chased away a bit by Lil Miss(Saxony) but it’s waaaay better than it was. Stella(Suspected apple yard mix or Rouen mix) has fallen right into line with the flock. I think she just sticks up for herself more than Wilma does.

I’m still on egg watch. Majority of the flock is 21 weeks. I’m staying hopeful but understand if I don’t get eggs until the solstice. It’s the way it goes.

Here’s some photos. If you guys want to guess the breeds in the mixes feel free! I suspect but obviously do not know for sure what they are.

The mixes are:

Wilma: Black Crested. I suspect Cayuga (she has some beetle green sheen around her crest)& Rouen( she has an eye stripe)
Stella: Orange leg/beak with blue wing tips. I suspect appleyard Mix (due to the orange legs/beak) possible Rouen mix (due to the color pattern) either way I think she’s beautiful!

Gus: my black/white drake with a green head but blue wing tips. Originally I thought Ancona/Rouen but now I kinda suspect Ancona Cayuga?? We will see what he throws for babies in the spring.

They are beautiful. Great news to hear they are all doing so well together.

I love colorful flocks! I have had just KCs for a few months, but I just got five new females, all different breeds/colors, so I am excited to have a colorful flock too!

I got different breeds to see which I liked then added 2 mix breeds to up my duck/drake ratio.

I’m super excited to see the difference in eggs shape, color & amount per duck!
