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

[Painted Calls]

I love his coloring! That dark head on the light body is so handsome! I love drastic differences like that. And Butter in the picture a couple of post up is just so adorable and I bet she knows it. Who is standing beside Flip? That's not Lidus is it The chubs isn't so obvious whenever they're standing so tall. Still adorable either way

That's Jason! He's filled out quite nicely.

Jason is a handsome little bugger!

@FunnyfarmMidwest i put my Aussie Spot in with Maggie and Miley whenever she hatched. They were about a week + older and significantly larger, but they did really well together. Those three girls are always together and Della, the Spot, is beginning to get a tiny bit larger than the Calls.

Congrats on your ducklings

Thanks so much!

I wanted to ask what you guys thought about my little blue fawn drake. He seems to be turning out well. I would like to get honest opinions on him. He is definitely not show quality but I think he’s a handsome looking bird. Thoughts?

Thanks! I really like him. I’m considering tanking him to a show if I don’t have my show quality pair yet.

He is so handsome! How old is he? If I'm not mistaken, he is the equivalent of a Blue Pearl Aztec, colorwise. I only ended up with one BP Aztec and she's a beautiful little girl, so they look similar, but they also have the obvious differences. He has such a sweet face!

I thought I’d update with a picture of the newest call to join the flock.

Thanks! This little one is a fighter for sure.
My broody’s eggs are all about to hatch as well but I will be selling the ducklings. I’m not sure how to take them away from her. I feel really bad. I just have my show quality pairs on the way and everything that I don’t have the space. I also have a buyer that wants them as day olds. She’s a really dedicated mother and I feel terrible.
I’m keeping this little one so could I give it to her to raise? (Once it’s navel is all closed) Would she accept it and take just one duckling? I’ve never done this, so I don’t know.
