here's my little babies, i just got them a couple of days ago. not sure how old my duckling is, but my Sebastopol gosling is 3 days old today!

i don't know how to sex ducks, but i'm thinking male. His name is Tom. The gosling is female and her name is Giselle.

I also have two Sebastopol eggs in the bator!

Ok here we go...lots 'O pics!!

Here are my calls. Two white ducks and a snowy drake. They live in the new aviary (Just put the netting up Sunday). As you can see from their bills - they like mud puddles. I make a mud puddle by the water pump every morning and that is literally the highlight of their day even though they have 4 pools around the pasture. Just like a kid at Chirstmas playing with the box.

Here are my new Holderread runners. They are still in the brooder - only 2 weeks old. Gettin' big and tall though!

Here are my production runners - I like the black drake the best - he's not so shoe-boxy. They are some funny little ducks -

Here is a blue duck who was busy chatting with the calls and never realized she was all alone! They are inseperable, the buff geese and the production runners! Needless to say she ran to catch up - quacking her little head off like she was dyin or something.

Here are my Buff Geese - love these guys!

These are my Giant Dewlap Toulouse - about 5 weeks old right now. These are the most docile geese ever I think, they don't have a mean bone in their bodies.

And here is a group shot of everyone.

Here is my attempt at making an aviary - I am buying more trees today - hopefully 5 or 6 different pine trees because there isn't much shade and every poplar I've planted doesn't appear to be in any hurry to bloom on this side of the barn.

Thanks, they came from Dennis Fuller (Wapsipinicon Waterfowl). What I desperately need now is a white drake and a snowy hen!

Never ever satisfied!

nice looking ducks and geese guys!! anyone else got any waterfowl to show??

The Welsh Drake and the Peking are parents to the little ones. The Welsh duck is no longer with us.

Hopefully I'll have my first batch of hatched ducklings in a few weeks.

In the duckling picture which one is the one with the yellow bib? One of mine look just like that. Almost a minature Penguin.

Elfy-

Which one are you asking about? The one with the black beak is a black cayuga (I don't think he's supposed to have the yellow bib) and the one with the mottle beak is a magpie.
