Thanks! Reminds me of the sound that car horns made back in the 20's;-)

Well mystery solved. I spoke to the man I bought them from. He said he doesn't have any Cayugas just black east indies. He said his stock came from Ideal.

Well they are just oversized Indies then, just like some Call ducks are larger than others. Then again you may have a drake and your other 2 are ducks, but you usually can't tell this soon.

Black East Indies are sort of like mini cayugas, so theres not much of a difference . They are gorgeous when the sun hits them and they turn iridescent green.

They do look very similar other than size.

Wanted to post an update since it's been a few days.

Qwackers is doing well, she has been leaning left a little more the last 2 days but she doesn't seem to be relapsing as bad as last time. I am still giving her the same meds but I have upped the Polyvisol and Prednisolone dose and will continue until I think we're at her maximum improvement. I truly believe that she is not going to fully recover, she going to be a special duck her whole life, which is OK we can accommodate. I am planning to make their own house and run so that it's just Qwackers, Indie, and Raj. The chickens will have a separate house and run that they'll share with the future turkeys (if they do well housed together) I have gotten my name on the list for someone that has Royal Palms in the incubator. I am planning to get 3 and hope for a mating pair. There seems to be a high demand for turkeys here, but not many people hatch them.

Another thing...I know it may sound impossible but Qwackers and Indie have almost doubled in size over the past week. Raj is growing, but she just isn't as big as the other 2. All three of them are getting their feathers, it's most noticeable in Qwackers because she is going from yellow to white. They're all prickly when you pick them up, not soft like they used to be.
