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

Also I think swim is a girl... she looks feminine, and is making similar noises to Iggy, who is nearly quacking.

Fishy!

I thought so! Love his feathers coming in!

Me too. Little snowy thing. Jury still out on that one. No voice signs yet. I'm really hoping it's a little lady.

Roxy has a slight green sheen on top of her head. That means boy, doesn't it?

You can sort of see it here.

Not necessarily. Girls have a bit of a sheen too sometimes. Isn't this back and forth fun?

I feel like flipping a table.

Finially Midnight will have a friend and I can get her outta my hair.

Are both of my most recent hatches black bibbed?

Gah, these growing up pics are melting my heart! These NC Temps aren't helping with the melting factor but oh my gosh! So much cuteness! I could look at these pictures all day!

@shawluvsbirds if Midnight is anything like my little one, another duckling won't do. That little cutie kept me up for 2 nights. Of course I made the dumb mistake of brooding it in my bedroom/bathroom. I had to sneak into bed because the moment it heard me or my daughter, it started screaming and instantly settled down as soon as we picked it up. I learned a lot from the past 3 days They're lucky they're so flipping adorable!!!

Edited to add : My Cayuga is named Stormy. He's pretty awesome and of course handsome!
