After spedning the past hour reading "Muscovy keepers share your pic", after reading how many people name their ducks Daisy, Daffy and Donald I decided to make a thread dedicated to all the Daisy's, Daffy's and Donald's out there.
So, please post if you have ducks by those names. Or any other origional names, like Pepper or something.
I have 2 muscovies, you guessed it, Daffy, and because I liked that name Daffy do much, I wanted to call the other one that, but I didn't want to introduce them and have a conversation like this:
"this one, the white on is Daffy"
"oh yeah, and what's the other one called?"
"Daffy."
"..."
So I called the other one Daffyn (daff-een)
To get the thread started with some pics, above is (from the right) Crackles, Peeper and Huey (origional names: Huey, Duey & Louie)
Peeper, I have some really good pics of Crackles and Huey, but they are on a USB that I have misplaced (yes, lost)
Ms Broody (Daffyn). After Donald died, I needed another duck for Daffy to be with. So I went to the poultry (which lucky for me wasn't too far away) and was lucky to find her amonst a group of other muscovies that a man was selling for $10, which were meant to be friendly, of course, I choose the prettiest one and went to pick her up, I got massive scratched all up mar arms from that day, but, once Daffy taught her that I gave them food, she started eating out of my hand, now I can pick both of them up with no problems.
Daffy and Daffyn
Huey, Peeper and Crackles.
Looking at all these duckling photos makes me all the more anxious to buy a Scovy drake and breek my girls, I already have 2 males, but I'm not too keen on inter-species, I know that the babies will be infertile, but it's still a bit weird, if being infertile is the only thing we see as being wrong, what else inside their bodies is going on? Has anyone inter-bred their ducks?
