Hi there, I am very interested in WH's, so I may be contacting you. I won't be hatching until the weather gets warmer, so springtime but I am certainly going to keep your info at hand and in a few months I will check in to see if you're still producing fertile eggs, Thanks!

I know of Metzer farms, eFowl, and Murray Mcmurray Hatchery, but all require about/at least 10 eggs for a hatching minimum. I am not concerned about the price its just that I am only looking to hatch a few ducklings, maybe 4 or 5 and do not want to buy fertilized eggs and then not use them and...

I am considering hatching my own (and first) ducks in the spring and am wondering what breeds people consider to be the most docile, friendly, best 'yard' duck?? If anyone has a particular breed they are a fan of please let me know :) thanks

Kaufmann's Backyard Farm : Cayugas are the quietest ducks I have ever seen. They don't really quack, it is a different sound even. They are very pretty in the sunshine too with all the colors in their feathers. As of now these are the top ducks im considering; Cayugas, saxonies, appleyards...
