Saxony Duck Thread!

That's interesting. I wonder why you're hens beans are so much lighter than my hen's, Penelope. How old are your hens?

Me too!
My hens are just over a year.

 

[Table4Six]

Penelope is a little over 4 months. Maybe it's a genetic thing, who knows.

could be that.
I got mine from some random breeder near me, no clue where his stock came from.
Where did you get yours?

 

[Table4Six]

I got Penelope from Metzer Farms. Genetics could just be the answer to this mystery, considering our birds came from different places.

Now, no offence, please
But my personal view is that metzers doesnt have the best saxonies (standard wise), based on the pictures on his site. Im not sure where he developed them from, so........
And note, Ill be the first to admit my saxonies have faults....I dont wanna be a duck snob

I'm not offended at all. I am perfectly happy with pet quality ducks, no matter what a duck looks like I think each one is spilling over with personality. Yes, here are some pictures

of Penelope.
