This is my duck thread. . I currently have 12 ducks. I would like to downsize, so I will be getting rid of 5 of them. . I have 5 Black Magpie ducks, 5 Saxony ducks and 2 White Call ducks. . The saxonies are the ones I will be getting rid of in the Spring. Then I will be able to focus on conserving the Magpies!!!!!

Here are some pictures. . Just a few.

Above are the very first ducklings I have ever had! 8 black and white Magpie ducklings. They were Hatched on March 22nd. Claude Duckussy, Oliver Twist, and Blackberry were the boys, (blackberry was supposed to be a girl) and the girls were: Emily and Alice, Diamond and Duddles, and Blossom. ( it was supposed to be blackberry and blossom).
When they were a few months old, something hot blackberry, Diamond and Oliver. I got them at Johnsons Waterfowl. www.johnsonswaterfowl.comView attachment 1206364 View attachment 1206365 View attachment 1206366The first egg at 21 weeks and Emily and Claude.

Bronzy the Golden Laced Wyandotte volunteered to help hatch out 4 Magpie ducklings and 1 stanbridge white duckling this past summer. Here is their thread. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/is-this-egg-shrink-wrapped.1184947/

Sooooooo cute!!!!!! I have to wait to get ducklings until Holderread's has them in the spring, unless a duck or Silkie helpfully decides to go broody, so this thread is torture!

1. Blossom, one of my Magpies didn't make it through the night. Last night was one of the warmest nights in the past week. She was my weakest duck. She was fine all the 20 below nights, so...? I'm now down to 4Magpies.
   
   
   
   Blossom is the one on the other side of the fence. She found a hole and would grab a friend and free range in the garden.
