Shaws call duck incubation thread (hatch a wonderful(worthless to Ralphie) dux thread)

[shawluvsbirds]

Fake Eilleen, I assume even you can see the evil devious look in the eye of this "innocent duxling".

I actually did think in that picture it looked a bit unsettling

It's probably plotting a hostile takeover over on the palace! I better watch out

I am finding I may have to leave this thread.....

I have an empty pen and am afraid staying here could cause me to become mentally unstable and buy a call dux to fill said pen.

You can come get Ralphie dux. He is on my poop list at the moment. I'd almost give him away right now. If he don't straighten up it'll be swap meet for his feathered behind.

I just realised that if the blue Bibb babies had to come from the blue Bibb daddy. . He was hatched by Sofie but was from a Lexi egg,
So that means these babies are her grand duckies .

Which now I have another question. .she had a lot of white for a blue Bibb. Wonder what she could have been mixed with. . or do they gradually start getting more white as they age like the Cayugas do? @Pyxis ?
She was supposedly only a year old or so when I got her last summer but who knows.

I was raking leaves to toss in the wet BCM and CL pens and spotted them. I hope they aren’t poisonous. They are outside my yard, but the duck do go out there on occasion.

I doubt they'll mess with them. I know there are some poison ones here amd none of my birds seem to mess with them. Although I exactly follow em around 24/7 either. And some animals can eat the poison ones with no issues...
