The Duck Thread

[NathanZee]

Thanks.

I currently have 6 pure pekins, three 4 month old ducklings one of my pekins hatched in September that may or may not be full pekin, a blue Swedish pair, a black Swedish drake and a mallard drake. Oh, I and just put 34 eggs into my incubator on the 17th

I'll get pics of my ducks later, I don't currently have any of them on my device.

Oh, I almost forgot, last year, my 6 laying ducks out laid 20 laying hens.

Sounds like you have a awesome flock!

WOW! That is proof of duck superiority!!

I think I do, I even got lucky enough to have a broody pekin! e

Yeah! And I don't even have breeds bred for eggs.

Awesome!!! So are you going to let her hatch some?

Ducks are amazing!

If she goes broody again I might. She went broody last August at 9 month old and hatched 6 out of ten eggs in September, only three survived, two were just weak and one was my fault.

Yes they are!

Okay.

She was a young broody!

Hello

I love your avatar picture! And is this a natural pond that you are changing for your needs, or a manmade pond?
