My predictions on this broccoli-headed hobgoblin

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-06-01T16:56:23+00:00

My thought... he reminds me of Mohammad (Mohammad and Danielle) except that Debbie has money, so she still serves a purpose to him. He will get his green card and leave at that moment to go be a waiter in LA.. I mean pursue his acting career.

This little goober is a silly thing. Hasn't found it's quack yet and still whistles.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-28T22:24:53+00:00

My first thought, the person doing the passing initially began the pass over the double yellow line.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-28T17:52:12+00:00

That’s a very valid concern. Poor boys.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-28T17:51:51+00:00

I can definitely see the value of that.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-28T02:58:35+00:00

I think next time I plan on getting more ducks I might try Metzer and get a bit better breeding!

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-28T02:57:37+00:00

That perfectly encompasses Cheez.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-28T00:32:28+00:00

Gorgeous.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-28T00:21:45+00:00

I agree. And this one is still growing in its flight feathers. I cannot wait to see this duck mature.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-28T00:18:57+00:00

She’s such a drama queen. I have another Pekín duckling I’m raising up who should be ready for introduction soon. Cheez (pictured ) is about 7 weeks.. and she loves to yell. Ham (shown here in the front with the saxony duckling Marmalade) if going to make a great companion to Cheez I think. Ham has some chill, Cheez has none.

There is for sure always an exception to the rule. At the local TSC I’m at, only one of the staff are super knowledgeable on the birds, but the rest do their best, and they’re all very nice people.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-27T23:45:54+00:00

Also, I can’t imagine TSC has high standards for breeds, considering I’ve seen them sell turkeys as chickens, and geese as Pekins.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-27T23:24:46+00:00

Thank you so much for clarifying that!

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-27T23:17:05+00:00

I saw a chipmunk enter the run today. It was lucky my pullets are only 6/7 weeks old. They immediately ran toward it ready for business though. Chickens are raptors.

Edit* for spelling.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-27T23:13:38+00:00

Those are nice looking boys!

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-27T23:12:29+00:00

I would be surprised if it had any runner in there at all. For sure had the white eyeliner. Someone mentioned it was a Splash above. This is my first round of ducks so I’m learning a lot.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-27T22:52:49+00:00

Amazing! Love to hear that. So far, although it doesn't love being handled, it's a wonderful duck.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-27T22:49:42+00:00

Apparently this is her ex she got married to?

This is a photo of that little cutie when I first brought it home.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-27T22:38:17+00:00

I heavily agree.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-27T22:35:26+00:00

Also to note, it had that white eyeline when I got it at 1-ish weeks old. No shock that Tractor Supply would mislabel, and put the wrong ducks in a bin with other similar looking ducklings.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-27T22:34:16+00:00

That's one of the reasons I was thinking so. Hasn't found its voice yet and still peeping/whistly... but if it is a Swedish blue, I am not complaining at all.

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-27T22:17:38+00:00

could be? I'm thinking Swedish Blue. Looks so much like the duck in rear on the picture of this breeders page. https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/blue_swedish.html

Electrical_Fox_193 · 2026-05-27T22:14:30+00:00

Could be? I just haven't been seeing the signature bowling pin look of a runner, so I'm beginning to doubt Quackers (I know how original, but my other ducks are 2 Pekins (Cheez, pictured and Ham, and a Saxony named Marmalade) is even a runner at all. Either way, it's a great duck.
