Surprise!! Surprise!!

[ssmith41068]

Good morning!!! I had a couple of surprises when I went out to take care of the flock this morning! First, I have to set the stage, I have a 10 foot by 14 foot by 6 foot fenced in run that I use at night to keep my 3 ducks in. I have a mallard pair, Mr. T and Ms. CeeCee, and S, my runner. Some mornings I go out and one or both of the mallards are already out and poor S is having a fit because he is still penned up. I guess he got tried of waiting on me to let him out, so he decided this morning to fly the coop as well. I currently have only part of the top secure, I guess I will have to get the rest fenced in. Darn ducks, I love them though!! The second surprise was a small greenish egg laying in the run. Yes, I believe Ms. CeeCee laid her first egg!!

Beautiful ducks, but mr. and mrs. don’t look like mallards to me!

Let me see if I can find better pictures of them. I just assumed that was what they were!! But we all know what assuming about anything means! LOL

Adorable ducks! I also have a Mr. T!
They could be mixed breeds? Is Mr Ts white spot fluffy? Could have some crested if it is? Or it could be a bleach spot.

Ms cece could maybe have some Khaki in her? I'm not the best with duck breed tbh but that's my guess.

Oh my your Mr. T is beautiful!!! Yes, his spot is fluff!! That is one reason I picked him!!! He was so cute as a day old duckling!! It doesn't matter what breed they are, I still love them!! They aren't very friendly but that is okay!!

It really doesn’t matter the breed, I totally agree! I have some beautiful welsh-Swedish crosses.

Beautiful ducks! Dont wait to get the run secure 100% @ night. Predators fly, dig ,crawl, climb. They show up when we least expect it. The outcome can be devastating.
