Duck rainbow
The msucovy ducks I have presently are quite the pretty rainbow of colors!
I have a couple that are white with brownish heads and tail feathers.
This drake is grayish white with a gray head.
This one is a pretty chocolate color with striking white wings.
A pretty rippled chocolate-slate mixed coloring shows up in some of them.
And then there's the rippling in a pure chocolate color, with some white showing up in the wings again.
A pretty bluish slate.
And one of my favorite drakes, black with a greenish shimmer and white wings. It was one like this that those idiot boys shot this winter.
Which one is your favorite?

My favorite is the blueish slate. And I like her head and eyes, too. Very gentle and feminine face, that one.
I like the slate too, but I'd take them all!! ;)
Hey! I found something today and immediately thought of your farm with the recent piglet arrival:

I hope you don't mind that I stopped by your blog. I must say that your ducks are all pretty.
Have a nice day
twinville - you're right, she is a very feminine hen! I like her, too.
fm - catching them might be a problem if you tried to take them :)
twinville - thanks for the links. Good reading!
sharon - I'm happy you did stop by!
Such sweet babies!!...A couple of thoses brownish hens were raised by a chicken. The green drake takes after his mom and the brown ducks after their dad..the white comes from the first three you got from the farm out west I think. If you have any ideas for direct marketing the young ones let me know. My dear honey will probably raise a buch again this yr.
