    10+ Crested and Non Crested Pekin Duck Eggs - No Reserve!

    Hi, I recently purchased a full grown duck and I absolutely love her. I am looking forward to hatching some duck eggs and I am hoping you might help me with that. I am wondering if I can do a "buy it now" and how much it would be?

    Silkhorns??

    oh no they on't, these babies got the silkie feathering, doesnt look anything like the white leghorn babies I had just hatch. And the silkie hen and roo weren't together within a 3 week span when I gathered the hatching eggs. And they have whitish skin.

    Pure Turkens?

    I have just started breeding some turkens and I am expecting some babies soon. I know that alot of the turkens now days are not "pure bred", and it said they originated in Europe. I am just wondering if there any flocks out there still that have not been bred to other breeds?

    I need some creative chicken brains to help!

    If you had two incubators, you see how temperature effects hatching, or you could hatch bantam vs. regular ans see which hatch first. You also might try hand turned vs. automatic turner? A hypothesis is simple to make. It has to sound very scientific. An example would be : If I use an...

    What type of silky should I buy?

    In my opinion, I like the white ones the best, they look like giant, moving puff balls. If you get them from someone who knows their silkies, you can get really good extremely puffy ones. I would suggest if you could to get a breeding / showing duo, as they make a cute couple. Good Luck!!!

    What to do during college????!!??!??!?

    my sister who is two years younger is a sports fanatic and wouldn't dream of touching one of those nasty, poopy, salmonala filled chickens. I had to beg for years to my mom before I could get chickens, she won't touch them either. All the freinds I have will be going to college as well
