uhh hope im doing this right

(1) Are you new to ducks/ when did you first get ducks? I've had ducks since May 2021

(2) How many ducks do you have right now?
5, its my limit until i can move in 2027/28 unfortunately

(3) What breeds do you have?
A leucistic mallard (confirmed since i had her parents and grandparents which all were normal mallards), cayuga, blue swedish, welsh harlequin, and khaki campbell

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard ducks?
Gives me something to do, really

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Drawing and writing

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I also have two dogs but to be honest my mallard is more of a threat to them than they are to her
 
Hi! Nice introduction! I love your mix of ducks! I know we would all love to see pictures (of course your leucistic mallard sounds really neat) and in case you didn't see the Duck Forum, it's always there for great advice!

There's also a thread: Support Group for Abused Duck Keepers that is a great read, too!

Thanks for joining and welcome to BackYard Chickens!

She's not entirely white like some leucistic mallards, but she's definitely much lighter than the rest of her family was (minus her aunt who looked nearly exactly like her but was a tad darker)
