Oh and my black "bibbed" or "pied" as I thought is really magpie. Actually quite happy about that. He's not marked perfectly but eh.

Little squinty eyed didn’t make it. I came home and found it dead in the brooder. Now I have 3 ducklings. I seem to have bad Call duck luck Daphne better succeed this time! It’s 95 degrees and she won’t leave her nest. I keep checking on her to make sure her dish of water is full.

Is this a white Call? She has two black spots on her head and one on her back. Just imperfections on a white or is she a blue?

Sorry about little Squinty.

What color are her feet and legs? Could be white with leakage, or possibly silver, or even pied, magpie, etc with light markings. Maybe.

I notice Bianca (new name Bonkers?) chest is coming in dark mahogany.
Still looks a lot like Daphne and Daisy though.
