@HeatherKellyB here she is today. The pic with her ducklings is one of her hatches last summer. She has lightened up a little, but she is one of my favs

And this was almost the most I ever had. I think this was taken last September after I had just sold 12! I had 56 at one point, knocked it down to 44 for a long time. I’m at 31 now.

She's gorgeous 😍 Does she have a name? I saved the 2 pictures that you shared of her so I can see if the resemblance remains over time.
You have some absolutely stunning ducks. My daughter and I have watched your YouTube video so many times. I also shared it with my Mom to show her Call Ducks and let her listen to their amazing calls. I hope that was OK. My daughter wants to play it where our ducklings will be able to hear "their parents" but I'm not sure if it will be exciting for them or scare them. Wow, 56 call Ducks!!! I'm jealous!
I ordered some nutritional yeast today like @Miss Lydia suggested and it should be here tomorrow. I should be adding it to my big ducks diet anyway so they'll benefit as well. I also offered up a deeper container of water after noticing Lylah blowing out her nares on multiple occasions. They all took right to it but I believe they were a little frustrated they couldn't get in the water. Faith is still so small so I had to use a dish she could easily reach and decided on a hard plastic Tupperware bowl and cut 2 holes in the lid for heads. I'm thinking about letting Paisley and Lylah take a swim tonight in warm water inside the house. They're a day older and quiet larger. I have an extra heat lamp that I could put them under to stay warm and dry off before rejoining Tallulah and Faith.

She is one of the small few that I have still with names. That’s Margarita. She had a twin named Brandy, but something got Brandy while she was on eggs, I believe a hawk. I used to name them all, but stopped a couple summers ago. I couldn’t keep up with them myself! She’s either 3 or 4 years old now. Get too many and you kinda lose track. Lol!
Glad you and your daughter like the videos. I need to make some new ones. Maybe tomorrow. :p
Here’s a couple old pics of Margarita and Brandy.
