I looked up Fulvous Ducklings and found this so maybe they aren't all silvers. I guess time will tell

They are very pretty. I've heard of these ducks before; maybe it was you that mentioned them...lol.

Simply awesome DonnaB. Congrats. So cute, and looks like you have a great place made for them.



Farmington, NM(Zone 5a)

so pretty! the hen looks like a wood duck - not the breed, the actual carved decoys they used to make. my dad had one when i was a kid.

they are both fierce protectors of the ducklings. It is all I can do to go in and change the water bowls, swim pans, and put food down everyday. I have both of them trying to attack me lol

A beautiful family, Donna. Another great job you have done!!!

I am seeing brown on 5 of them. I guess they are all going to look normal. I lost one at 3 days old. It was the last one born and the runt. 6 babies is plenty
