In my opinion, it seems like you're absolutely right about Faith's mama being Margarita. She favors her a lot, but maybe it's wishful thinking? What do you think?
Of course! I can definitely imagine! Thanks just love to sit and adore mine! I bet you’ll find out their genders pretty soon. Funny I just found out that Bobbles is a boy! Guess I’ve been calling him the right gender all along!
My daughter is going to be thrilled! She's been wanting a Snowy! Lylah is definitely one of her favorites. ~Side note: they all see her wing pins sticking out and nibble them to make her screamOh my goodness!
Layla is a snowy. My snowys confused me for a while, my opinions changed daily until they finally quacked or got green on their heads.
Faith does look like Margarita, pattern-wise, but I think she looks more blue now, maybe it’s the lighting? Is it more creamy brown color, or blueish? I have several blue pied, so that’s easily possible.
I get one male/one female feeling from the greys, but I thought my Phoenix was a male until she let out a big quack.
Their bills look so huge at this stage. But don’t worry, their bodies eventually catch up, and their bills stop seeming so huge.

I've got to help her get them sitting better so she doesn't have a "weakness" ~ Hmmm, now I'm thinking you're on to something with Faith's coloring. I'll get a better picture using the flash to figure it out. They're all a little wet in this picture but I know that won't change her coloring, only deepen it. I agree with you on the suspicion for the grays. Paisley is so calm and larger than the others. Tallulah is crazy like Faith and doesn't want to be touched without her making the initiative for it. Lylah has her own personality. She's not really calm but she isn't as crazy as Faith and Tallulah either. I guess time will tell. Will the drakes get the green on their heads when their nuptial plumage comes in or before? Thank you so much for your wise words. I really appreciate you!
Bobbles is great! He is absolutely perfect, and being his adorable little self! He got to go outside and play in the muddy puddles today! All the other ducklings are doing great too! Right now I’m at 20 call ducks and 2 regular sized ducks. I decided not to incubate any more for now and I don’t have any broodies at the moment. I already have to buy a new gigantic duck house!
Yay, Phoenix is an adorable little girl! She’ll be a gorgeous call hen!Oh my goodness!

I’ve been getting quite a few call eggs, so I’ve been giving them away.
Here’s Bobbles just now! I can’t believe he’s finally growing up! He’s getting his feathers in (slowly but surely)... I’m thinking he’s going to be gorgeous! I can see a lot of his feathers have a beautiful green sheen! I’ve never had a black pied so its really exciting!
This was moments after changing the brooder, they are so messy!

More ducklings! Congrats! They're so beautiful! Any others still hatching? I know you're loving them already
