    Silkied Ameraucana Project

    I have the Silked EEs. I’ve been breeding them for a little while. They look very Ameraucana-like, but still have the feathered shanks and walnut combs. They do produce silked offspring when crossing and backcrossing. My goal is to get Lavender though!

    I know this is an OLD post, but does anyone have these birds? I’m working on this project!

    Ducks Pipped Early!

    Okay, thank you. I’ll set them in lockdown much sooner next time. I was told day 25, but that when most of my ducklings hatched!

    Ducks Pipped Early!

    Okay thank you. Most are hatched and the rest are pipped! I lost one into hatch… I think it ran out of air in the aircell 😢 so I’ve been watching them closely. They do seem sticky so I’m assuming the humidity reading is not correct. Should I set my eggs on day 23 then? I think the turning is...

    Duck Genetics

    Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m seeing what looks like blue? Could the Welsh Harlequin Drake passed on the bill sexing trait to his offspring even if it was over a Blue Runner hen? Or could one actually be from my fawn/white runner?

    My babies are hatching now! I can post pictures once they’re all done and fluffed up 😊 I’m pretty sure I have a few blues and one black!

    Ducks Pipped Early!

    This is my first time hatching ducklings. I’ve hatched many chicks so I’m very familiar with my incubators. I should note the breeds: Welsh Harlequin and Runner hens, and Welsh Harlequin Drake. Yesterday was day 24 of incubation. I went to check on the internal hygrometers and to my shock I...

    Duck Genetics

    I got mine from Metzer. They also have the Silver Runners and I’m so tempted! I just don’t trust USPS to deliver them safely. I’ve had too many issues recently with them to order anymore live birds 😭

    Thank you so much! I’m so glad that I had already started the eggs. I appreciate your insight!

    Duck Genetics

    Hello, I lost one of my sweet black Indian Runner Duck today. Although I’m absolutely devastated, I’m holding on hope because I already had her eggs in the incubator and they’re developing. My duck flock consists of Welsh Harlequins (including the Drake) and three runners (black, blue, and...

    Favorite platform for selling?

    Hey everyone, I’ve recently become NPIP certified and able to ship. Currently I offer just eggs for shipping and chicks for local. My question is what is your preferred platform for selling? I used eBay once but I’m hesitant to use it again. I have a pretty good following on social media, but...

    Still ISO Lavender Marans

    I think that’s the same breeder 😊 I’ll probably check them back out next season. I’ll be getting some chicks in April though.

    Still ISO Lavender Marans

    She was one I was looking at! Unfortunately they didn’t offer eggs until after I ordered chicks. I’ll be getting some from Mt. Healthy. They’ve been such a great hatchery in the past. I’ll likely continue to follow Seeking Eden for additions next spring or so. Thank you!

    Young Rooster Aggressive to Hens

    He has the very precious O/O blue egg gene. My other boys can be turds to humans, but are great flock protectors. He’s a handsome guy and seems like a waste to cull. I was optimistic he’d grow up 😵‍💫 I also don’t want him harassing another flock.
