So I got my new ducks today. I ended up just taking the Buff and the Swedish. I'll try to get pics tomorrow, but they are now known as Mochi and Matcha.

Also picked up my Silkie roo, and named him Bon Jovi. With hair like that, it works!

What a great uncertainty your genius answer caused by two words!
Either things go wrong in the world or the fartichokes take over the - hill.

My Best Momma Duck is my little Mallard. She was less than a year old and made a nest when it was still cold out, early March in Ohio. She hatched out 11 baby ducks. She was great with them but I did separate the drake. He had previously carried a baby out of a nest that another duck ended up abandoning and killed it. All drakes are different. I rehomed him. The only problem I have with her is she throws off drakes. Out of 30 some ducklings only two were females. Good luck with your decision, My only other duck to go broody was a Muscovy.

Tell me about drakes! - From last years 14 ducklings that survived,11 were drakes. But i can't blame that to the CCI…

At least two ducks have a good home now. What was wrong with the other two?

They are both beautiful and practical, as well as being a native species. But yes, they spread like wildfire. I personally love them.

They were white?

I'm really not a big fan of white ducks (or chickens, or any other animal, really). Personal choice.

Or something goes wrong with my hill-site (please not!) and the fartichokes take over the world… That is so confusing!
