WATERFOWL EGG SWAP

[FarmrGirl]

so you're offering both types: Penciled Runners and Black Runners? Or are they a mix of Pencilled and Black? (Black drake over Pencilled duck actually throws some pretty babies in a nice, mostly solid, pewter color)

 

[Arkansas81]

yes they all run together but my drakes are pure so are my hens. you will get a nice mixture

Not that there's anything wrong with experimental colors, but if your default is SQ you should state that they're not True-type. If they don't meet the SOP they won't be able to compete in most shows. Most folks here will start with a color description and note that they have a Black drake over Pencilled duck, or some-such, for full disclosure.

Yes, please note any mixed color flocks in your offer. That will help the chain move more quickly as people can decide quickly if they want the offer or not. Pictures of your actual birds also help. Pictures are not required but are useful.

yes my runners all "run" together. they're several different colors in the pen. they will be pure runners but could be any mix of colors of pictures above

[daze333]

[Arkansas81]

If I am right, only the first 6 eggs have to be waterfowl. You could sweeten the pot by adding other eggs for extras?
