Hi there, I've only started adding poultry to my backyard within the past year, and it's only a small operation, mostly rescuing battery hens. I only own 7 hens and 1 rooster at this present time until i can afford a bigger coop.
However, recently I purchased 2 ducklings for my girlfriend, as part of her birthday present, because she always went on about them. They are real characters to watch. I got them when they were 1 week old, and a lot of care has went into them. They are now 8 weeks old and fully got their colours i reckon. I'm no duck expert, but I'm almost certain they are both ducks, I hope. Plus, I'm pretty certain one of them is a Blue Swedish.
However, could someone please tell me what breed "Daisy", in the photo, is? I have searched repeatly and have come up with nothing. She may even be a hybrid. A few characteristics I can supply about her is, she is a follower, she follows "Puddles", the Blue Swede everywhere.. She's a lot quieter than Puddles aswell. She hasn't even began quacking yet, it's more of a chirp/squeak, where as Puddles quacks flat to the mat. She has a blue trim near the tip of both of her wings, and I would say she's got dabbling traits aswell as diving traits. She's a lot more active in water than Puddles is. I would really appreciate any help given to determine her breed. Thank you.
I love blue ducks...
