I love the old names too! We had a Bertha, Myrtle, Dorothy, Ethel and ...Treasure (named by a 4 year old.) Sadly Bertha and myrtle are no longer with us..
Just found this thread...we have 8 birds (4 ducks, 4 chickens) and not a single egg from ANYONE!!! I'M GOING CRAZY! egg dreams and all.
My pekin ducks are 30+ weeks!
My Rouens are 20 weeks
and the Brahmas are 18...I know it's a little early for them but the pekins need to start paying rent!!!
