New ducks

We recently took delivery of what we thought was 4 ducks and 2 drakes. All adults, they form quite a close knit group. We have added them to our flock and they have settled in well. Alas, I think one of the birds we initially thought was a duck is actually a drake.

One of the reasons for getting the ducks was because we have not added any new gene stock over the past seven years of keeping ducks. All our ducks are interbred so we felt it was time to widen the gene pool.
