Unfortunately, I have to sell my Anconas. I have 1 Drake and 6 hens. I'll even throw in a Silver Applegate ducklings. In hopefully 5 more days I'll have a bunch of hatchlings also. I'm asking $130 for all of them. I'm in Osage Beach, MO. They are black and white.

What color is the undercoat of the drakes and hens of Silver Appleyards?

Been baking a lot with them. Wife made Eggs Benedict this morning. Thought they were pretty good. What they taste like depends a lot on what they eat.

Thanks. I've giving them a couple of more days to see if any of them go broody. I understand you can tell which eggs are still good to eat by putting them in water and you only eat the sinkers. Is that correct?

So,there were 10 eggs this morning and one of them was dark grey. With that many eggs I'm guessing someone is going to start going broody soon?

I was going through my coop this morning to get my 'egg' and didn't see one. I noticed a hole in the straw I have in the coop and under straw and some feathers I found around 6 eggs. Someone else of the 6 is laying eggs. Should I take these out and put them in my incubator or just see if one of...

Here's a picture of my gals. Unfortunately the mostly white one in the back is m drake. I'm hoping my eggs which will hatch at the end of month might have a more colorful drake.

So, anyone figure out how to keep this from freezing in the winter?

Finally got some Anconas. 7 hens and 1 one drake. I was keeping in the coop while I was putting up the fence and hoping they would get used to it. One of my kids didn't latch the coop properly last night and I woke up to 7 anconas walking around the back yard. One is missing. I hope s/he comes back.

It would interesting to note the growth rate of the mix and what the laying amount averages out to be from these.

Will this be just a chicken list or all fowl?

Who is selling breeding stock in the USA right now?

I'm getting ready to get out of American Blues. I'm thinking the only way you could do a duck pedigree is to limit exposure to certain drakes, but I haven't seen anything on duck pedigrees. Like you said, I guess you just keep track of where your original ducks or any new ducks from from.

Who would certify you? Certify you for what? I'm new so I have no idea. Thanks.

Any breeders in Missouri?
