Cheeky Chooky Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 We had our suspicions and after a lot of duck watching (I've been on sick leave for a few weeks), Dilys is definitely a Drake and he's now been renamed Derek by my OH He's behind the handsome Dennis...look how green his head is now and his little drakey feathers are starting to curl at the back So...what to do Get some more girls of course The new Dilys Daphne (who is also a bit on the gobby side, like the previous Daphne was but nowhere near as bad ) and little Dee Dee who looks like a Call Cross to us They wouldn't win any prizes but they're sweet little things and they've settled straight away Derek is hiding at the back...still confused about the name change We'll just have to see how things go over the next few months Just had to post this pic as it made me Eddie and Daphne obviously understand each other and are totally in sync Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollyripkim Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 They are all beautiful, DeeDee does look a little but like a call duck, interesting to see if she quacks louder than the others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeky Chooky Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks guys DeeDee does look a little but like a call duck, interesting to see if she quacks louder than the others! Daphne is the only one who feels the need to voice her opinions Ducks are such gorgeous creatures . They have such friendly little faces . They certainly are...there's something very gentle about them They are adorable, you lucky thing I am lucky Plum and I'm lucky that my darling OH puts up with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 That curly tail is a give away isn't it? Good on him though as now you have a whole host of really pretty duckies. Will you be putting duck eggs in your nice egg seller box, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
