I dunno... Is that what you've experienced with you'r Doms? I've not had a m/f pair of barred/cuckoo birds to observe. Well I guess that's not really true, but who knows if your really listening anyways.

I think so

How big is Bella? For whatever reason I was thinking she was huge compared to your pups. She's bigger, but I guess I thought she was a giant breed. I haven't had anything to eat yet this morning... or drink... I may be in a daze, lol.

Bella is about 90-95lbs.
I think it's just camera angles making her look smaller. She doesn't really have the height of a Great Dane, but she's pretty dense like a Mastiff. The tiles here are 12". She also has a shaved coat.

This is more what she'd look like with a natural coat.

All the genetics talk reminds me of my middle school Biology class learning about Dominance, Recessive, Incomplete dominance and whatever other stuff on science there is. I hated that class..

It’s 55 here and I got wet trying to pull my Muscovy drake off my gander. They were both wet from me trying the hose first. It’s cold at 55 when wet.

Yes but my Muscovy was riding the ganders back beating him with his wings. Boy that dude enjoys a good fight. My gander doesn’t stand a chance.

So it seems like quite a few of you in this thread have received shipped birds. I have about a month until my ducklings are shipped from Metzer Farms (California) to me (Illinois). I am trying to make sure I have anything I may need for shipping stress or a sick baby. I have nutridrench and save a chick electrolytes so far... any other recommendations? The farm stores around here are pretty limited so I’m most likely going to need to order off amazon so I want to give myself enough time to get it all before arrival.
Thanks in advance!
