I really like your sultans. They never much appealed to me before. And Emma is 8-1/2?!? Wow! Nice pics.

Banty, how old are the ducks now? When did they hatch? You might not get eggs until spring. My young ones are 19 weeks, no eggs yet. Hatched June 6th. But their mother hatched late March and started laying that September.

I love my sultans.... Not the smartest chickens, but so stinkin' cute!!
Yeah, 8 1/2 at the least. Maybe more. She's even still the alpha hen of the flock....

That'd be good, in a way.... No temptation to set eggs!

Tucson is "paying attention" to the girls now though, iffn ya know what I mean....
