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.
