Preparing to set call and pekin duck eggs! Hatch day should be March 4, 2021 if all goes well!

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

Here’s a few I took of Chip. She is HUGE and not very call type at all... but still adorable! I’m beginning to wonder if she is a mix between my call Cami and my crested Rouen x runner... she does have a very long neck and is larger than the other two... I’ve never seen him with them so probably not

Here’s Bobbles the little black pied. This is the baby that needed some extra tlc after hatch. Just a tiny little baby with the most beautiful big eyes! I adore this little sweetie!

@Pyxis i was able to go outside today and get some better pictures of the little fella in natural lighting thanks to @shawluvsbirds ’s suggestion

These should be better when you have time. I appreciate the help!

And I remembered to do full images this time

I almost wanna say blue fawn dusky. If it weren't for the yellow on his face as a duckling it's exactly what I'd say. Hmm.

I guess we'll find out for sure once he gets more feathers in, haha.

Interesting! I’ve never heard of a blue fawn dusky.
Thanks for the help! We definitely will! I bet he will be beautiful no matter what. Shouldn’t be too long, I’m so excited!

He kind of reminds me of my Ralphie duck. I thought he was blue fun but he never did get the blue fawn head.

Aww, Ralphie duck is very handsome! That’s interesting that he never got the head like a blue fawn.

Houston, we have a honker!!!!

I heard it this morning, it seems that both Chip and Splash jr are girls! They’ve begun to honk (a lot)! I’m thinking Beans is a drake because he still peeps. We shall see, but it has been confirmed that Chip and Splash jr are girls!!! Updated pics to come! They grow up too fast!

I’ve also been dying to ask how things are going with your surprise duck egg @WVduckchick ?
And how are the broody ducks and new chicks?
