My first baby of the year.

Bad Genetics. Someone in my flock isnt as pure as I was led to believe. I do have two white ducks- I have accidently set a few of their eggs- but generally I dont ever even bring their eggs into the house. They are in a separate pen from the breeders- so these guys have come from coloured ducks as a genetic throwback.

Assuming it is it from the females- the next round of ducklings should be better. I guess I will know soon enough where these white ones are coming from.

Being that the first eggs will be fertilized by drakes at the owners address- I am hoping for a few surprises with the first two lots of eggs as well.



I posted a pic of a little guy on here a few month back and people were commenting on his big head. I named him Noggin, and he is a sweetheart. I will have to name this little one in a way that refers to his feet...even though they are a normal size- It must just be the way he is sitting and that he wasnt all fluffed up yet that make them look so big.

How about Hobbit, or Bilbo or Baggins? Reference to the big feet of the Hobbits in Lord of the Rings. Or Yeti? (AKA Big Foot - geddit??!!!)

Nothing wrong with whites. One of my favorite ducks is my Flippy...she is white...and gorgeous. But these have come from coloured parents- so should be coloured themselves.
