Ok, one last set, while I am sharing! Here are all of my adult duckies. One female Khaki (isn't she pretty?), two drakes, and two buff colored ducks. Any idea what they are? They are about the same size and shape as the Khakis.

They look like buff ducks to me. http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTp2gsf2OCzBezmGTunvCNFxCtYRErjCzGtQ43NlssK_o8sYvxLvQ
Very pretty.

Sorry Becky, posted the wrong link. Look up metzer farms, then their buff orpington ducks. Looks just like your girls to me.

Julie, that is what I thought, but it looks like buff orpingtons get to be a lot heavier than Khakis. These girls are about 8 or so months old and are the same size, or a bit smaller than my 5mo Khakis.

Cute ducklings!! I can't wait to have ducklings!

Grrrr... still nothing from my little cayuga egg. But the 12 eggs on day 11 are going strong and I just found found out the other dozen ancona eggs I ordered a few weeks back are being shipped on Monday. So darn it, I will have ducklings soon.

I originally wanted NO kids, so I've went above and beyond that.

After my kids are older and not such a pain in the you know where, I might see about becoming a foster parent though. With my kidney thing I think it's just too hard on my body. My kids kept coming earlier and earlier because of that. I've had a 36 weeker, 35, 37, and 33 in that order. My oldest had major health problems when she was born and had surgery and spent a month in the hospital before coming home, my second oldest dies a few weeks after birth, and my youngest was healthy but a tiny peanut and had to get big enough to come home. Miss Cara was the only healthy baby who got to come home with me. That just barely happened, she was only 5 lb and had to be monitored for blood sugar problems because of rh- antibodies. Having babies scares and stresses me out way too much.

I would be done too. Stressful enough without complications!

Either little buffs, which is possible if from a hatchery and bred for production, or poor runners who don't stand up, or mutts. I'm still guessing buffs.

How big are your khakis? They look a lot "sturdier" than mine did.
