There is no "I" in Ameraucana
I supposedly had five blue female runner ducks last spring. I also had 8 chocolate females.
Well, yesterday I was outside watching the little buggers march around and I saw one of the blue ones jump on top of one of the chocolate.....
I know they can do a dominance type ritual where they would mount and get off the other duck, but this seemed to look like actual mating. Rear to rear contact was trying to be made.
This duck has no curl in the tail and does not seem to have any dark or green sheen about the head like my chocolate male runners do.
Do you think it is a boy? Oh, and I have been getting 12 eggs per day for the last 3-4 days, not 13 like I should if he were a she were a he. Oh I'm so confused!!!!
Thanks,
