What Breed Should I Get?

[Aunt Angus]

ROTFL! - I picture if you have a drake you will be shouting at them: »Orange! Get off Grapefruit! We don't need more Clementines!«

This may be the greatest thing anyone has ever written on BYC.

I tend to name mine after I see what their personalities are. I like the name to fit the personality. It usually takes me weeks to name mine.

I do the very same thing! I call it the duck has to earn her/his name.
Nothing worse than naming a duck »Daisy« and it turned out to be a serial rapist drake…

I figure they'll grow into their names. Like my Sebright who was *supposed* to be a girl. His name is Picotee. Kind of a feminine name, but it fits, esp since his feathers are laced.

I'm imagining if I'd let my kids earn their names. I'd be the proud mom of Foghorn, Little Miss Priss, and Where-Are-Your-Pants.

And I'm imagining if you have 10 of the same breed. It'd end up being a bit like a "Who's on First?" situation.

"Where did the white one go?"

"Which white one?"

"The white one that quacks. You know, the one with the feathers."

"Oh! You mean the one that likes meal worms."

I can come up with names for white dux:

Adolph
Stalin
Vlad
Heinrich
Saddam
Idi
Kimsum
Leopold
Ayatollah
Ghengis
Nero
Biden
Mao

These are all suitable dux names.

I was a lil worried the way your list started...

None of my duck breeds will be white. I DO have a white chicken, however. Her name is Iris, and I love her!

She looks like a sweetheart, it’s too bad she has Dux for neighbors.

I choose themes. My chickens are flowers. My cats are artists. My ducks will be fruit - lol: Fig, Clementine, Persimmon, and Mango. Or Apricot. Or Marmalade.

Out of those I would probably pick Apricot, Mango, Marmalade, and Fig. All of them are such cute names!

So I haven't gotten an email from Meyzer. Will the email be coming later, or does this mean they'll be shipping tomorrow? Any idea???
