Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today - Page 3147

my rant for the week.

im sick of flaky buyers.

you dont harass me about when i will have babies.

the jerk me around asking 10 million questions about them.

only to ignore my 3 emails asking when you would like to come get the ducklings that you so despretly wanted me to hold for you.!

screw you!  they are going to the next person  on the list if you dont email me back in 48 hrs. im not wasting my time.

oh and i think my ducks decided to be freeloaders again!

no egg in 4 days.

I took a couple quick shots today and played around with them.  They aren't uber good pics but figured I would share.

 

 

 

My two black meat birds are growing up.  My hatchery Swedish and Cayuga.  They are both starting to feather in and I see LOTS of green!

 

I didn't get any of the tricolor babies today but plan on getting some new pics of them soon.

Love the black and white one. Looks like he's smiling. 

I think it's safe to say it will look like this:

and the one right behind him  (the featheres in one)

is it just the lighting or do they both have 2 different colors on them.

looks like black and lavendar/blue/ whatever shade it is for anconas (cant keep them all straight since every breed seems to have a different name)

Those are my blues.  One is a little darker than the other and they have a hint of rusting like the blues are known to get but they are considered one color.  I am selling the full back lavender in the second pic tomorrow too.  I think that I have decided to keep my blue female, 2 tricolor females, and my lavender male for my breeding flock.  The rest may go in the freezer.  Not 100% yet.  Poor babies.

Tequila is bad news.  

CG It seems like in any business, you get the flakey people that do not put other peoples time and hard work into consideration.  Sorry Hun.

its ok

i have plenty of other buyers.

altho i fear i will not be able to fill their orders.

i have 

10 eggs in bator.

5 eggs under 1 hen

and 4 under another.

but yet i have 1 person wanting 2 snowies.

1 wanting 2 magpie

1 wanting 3 of anything.

1 wanting 6-8 anything.

another wanting atleast 4 anything.

and 2 people wanting a couple greys.

as well as the people who want eggs.

and the girls pick now to quit on me

I know.  It is gonna kill me.  They are so gorgeous but, this is exactly why I wanted a dual purpose bird.  Meat and eggs were #1, pets #2.  They just happened to be so **** cute/beautiful at the same time.  I do not have a lot of property like the majority of you.  I live in the city.  I am a small scale urban farmer.  Until I establish my breeding flock it will be hard for me. It has been getting pretty overwhelming with the amount of mess 21 ducks can make in a single back yard.

I wish I had your problem.  Pushing Ancona sales around the city has become pretty difficult.  I need to move to the country.
