[caesargirl]

2 above zero here this fine sunny morning. Just took some photos of my Khakis on their pond. They like staying on the water in weather like this so I feed them in the water where they enter from their coop. Buffy The rest

Picture post card beautiful!!! That Buffy is a stunner!!!

Thanks, caesargirl. Buffy is a very special duck that went through 2 years of health issues, losing much weight, and I never thought she would make it through last fall but all of a sudden she improved and gained her weight back. She is quite nicely colored after the last molt.

When do ducks molt? The same chickens? First year with ducks. All were born last March.

I'm glad she's healthy now!!! Has she always had the white/tan flight feathers? So pretty!!

Thank you! She has always had that color of flight feathers and until the last molt she was a lighter buff color much like her wing feathers, hence the name, "Buffy". She is my favorite.

@Carcajou, do you have any closer pics of the big guy in the back? He looks rather light also...

Quote: If you want ducks for the eggs, then you can get a lighter duck that will lay all year.If you want them for meant, they are processed by 8 months.
Chicken eggs are acid and duck eggs are alkaline. If you feed them feed that has fish by products, then they will have that taste too. Ducks egg`s are delicious in omelet `s. cooked slow in a non stick pan with a little coconut oil.Or in bakes goods. use the pellet feed for layers and always have water available when they have feed.
