I have 3 ducks,[ all female] as i am not up on breeds could anyone help me,2 are chocolate brown on their backs with cream chests,and 1 is blue on it,s back with pinky chest,any ideas as to what breed they are,??
-
Photos would help please. The first two may be Khaki Campbells - the most common domestic duck, not sure about the blue and pink one - did you get it from Woolworths ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
LOL. i will take a pic this morn,and will attempt to post,perhaps i should have said slategrey with browny pink chest,sounds a bit more duck like. :&>
-
PICS ADDED. :&> any suggestions,thelady had had them from day olds and says they are 3/4 months although they are quite big and look older to me,at what age will they lay,presume they can be fed layers pellets as p.o.l.
-
I have a girl that I hatched in the incubator that is fairly similair and I think she is a Khaki Campbell crossed with an Aylesbury, purely because I bought 6 eggs that were meant tp be KK and 6 that were meant to be Aylesbury - all from the same place.
-
I have Kahki Campbells and these do look a bit like KC crosses but!!! I aint an expert
-
are you sure they are all girls?? All our boys do have a different shade of feathers on the head but none of the girls. :&>

Ducks have a very loud Quaak quak quak quak quak. spoken five to seven times, whilst drakes have a very soft quaik spoken with a second or two between each.

Angus, as hard as I try I can not hear them through the photo ;D :&>
