    ISO show-quality Welsh Harlequin, Cayuga, or Saxony eggs or ducklings (AK)! 🙂

    Hey folks! 😊 Starting out my flock, and I know I am probably too late for this year, but thought I’d ask — does anyone have show-quality Welsh Harlequin, Cayuga, or Saxony fertilized eggs or ducklings that they’d be interested in selling / shipping to Alaska? 🙂 I know the big hatcheries like...
