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

I remembered to snap a few pictures this evening. @WVduckchick what color did you say Faith is? I can't remember now. I know these pictures aren't great but just sharing them as they grow up. I was comparing her color to a blue chicken and it's more brown, but are the blues the same hue between chickens and ducks? It doesn't seem brown enough for what I would think is chocolate. I just don't know. The lighter color looks to be more cream than white which is not so apparent when comparing Faith to Lylah. Faith is still a petite thing and I assume it's possible that she'll always be more petite. I love her size but it's difficult to capture in a picture. She's definitely not a little tiny peanut like Bobbles, but she's a little girl for sure. She's the loudest of them all. Lylah only gets upset if she's not first. She MUST be first Tallulah has the darker bill and is closest to the camera. Paisley is the largest of them all

and has a more pale bill. I LOVE Paisleys personality so much. He is so laid back and easy going

@FunnyfarmMidwest how is Beans today?

Thanks for asking he is doing well but I can still hear him breathing a bit louder than usual. I let him swim to clean out his nares. He had a lot of fun swimming and catching tadpoles. He is the one that I drew the arrow to. This was from this morning.

He's so handsome! What color is he called? I love how dark he is. How old is he? Are you still using ACV in the water? You were trying vet rx too, right?

Aww thanks so much! He is such a sweetie too! I’m not 100% sure on the color but Pyxis said possibly a blue fawn. He is looking a lot different now that he’s getting his drake colors in. He is almost 3 months old now! Yes I am still using both. It seems to be helping a bit.

Here’s some better pictures of Beans. I’ll have to ask @Pyxis about his color now that he’s older. He is really pretty and darker in color than my other blue fawns.
lol sorry for the photo overload.

I think I'm gonna go with blue fawn, just a very dark one for some reason

Ok thanks so much for the insight! He is unique! He definitely stands out from the others.

I'll be interested to see if his head stays brown like my Ralphie dux.

Does anyone have any thoughts on Faith? I may be mistaken but I believe @WVduckchick said something pied. Any thoughts
