Dippy Ducks: Eggs
http://dippyducks.blogspot.com/2008/03/eggs.html
Welcome to DIppy Ducks. Hello and a quacking big welcome from all the dippy ducks at Rope Yarn Corner! The quacker at the top of this page is Emerald, a very chatty Black East Indian duck. She is actually jet black, but the oil in her feathers gives her this beautiful petrol green sheen. It also stops her feathers from soaking up the water in the pond and sinking her, of course! Some Links to Wildife Sites. Wild in Britain - British Wildlife. Young Nature Lovers - for children and teens.

Dippy Ducks: February 2008
http://dippyducks.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Six ducklings swimming - and no prizes for guessing where! Ducklings might love water - but they can still easily drown. If they become cold, their joints and muscles will stiffen just as ours would! These are the BEI and Miniature Appleyards once again. Labels: black east indian. This photo is of a Black East Indian duckling. The message then is clear. If you don't like mess, then don't buy ducks! Oh, and by the way, one of these Black East Indian (BEI) ducklings - sorry, not sure which! This Blogspot i...

Dippy Ducks: Day-old Duckling
http://dippyducks.blogspot.com/2008/02/day-old-duckling.html
Like chicks, ducklings have taken in enought protein from the egg yolk to survive without food or water for two or three days, but ducklings will look for, and enjoy, water in their first hours of life. Do be careful that they are not able to over-indulge in this fancy though - they might be water birds, but they can easily drown! This photo is of a Black East Indian duckling.

Dippy Ducks: March 2008
http://dippyducks.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Our ducks have just begun to lay over the last couple of days - since 9th March, that is. For them, at least, spring is officially here! Ideally by now the birds should be settled in their breeding groups, and in great condition! Time then, to select suitable breeding pairs. And do be selective! Try to avoid breeding with related birds, or birds that have health problems that might be inherited. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to DIppy Ducks.

Dippy Ducks: Our First Ducklings

The message then is clear. If you don't like mess, then don't buy ducks! Oh, and by the way, one of these Black East Indian (BEI) ducklings - sorry, not sure which! Is picured 6 months later in the title photograph. The oil in their feathers produces that beautiful petrol green sheen, which is enhanced by sunlight, and is similar to the colour of irridescent green beetles. Welcome to DIppy Ducks.
