Hello friends! So we've expanded our flock just a tiny bit and we've unfortunately gotta weed out a few extra males to keep a 4:1 ratio. I was hoping there might be some backyard mix hobbyists or enthusiasts who might have some insights on which of the new drakes to keep if I wanted some neat phenotypical diversity or traits in new hatchlings. Here's the established flock:
Drake:
1x Rouen (emotionally attached-- gotta keep)
Hens:
3x Rouen
2x Black Swedish
3x Cayuga
And here are the second drake possibilities:
Blue Swedish
Cayuga
Ancona
Or if you've got suggestions for ducks to look into mixing (or even better, pics!), I'd love to hear or see it.
Included is a pic of the newest ducklings in the integration prison (you can see the free ranging Rouen drake checking them out through the hardware cloth)
