    Pair of Mating Black East Indie Ducks!! Holderread show quality!

    I am going to be forced out of my home, and can no longer continue to care for these little cuties.. I have grown very attached to them, but apartment life holds no place for ducks, so i am therefore forced to re-home them. I purchased these from Dave Holderread himself (story can be read here...

The Splash hen and Blue Rooster came from forum member HeatherL in southern Cali, and the Blue Hen from Cedar Creek Lofts in Scappoose, OR.

    Baking with Duck Eggs?!

    Honestly, i have baked very few items with duck eggs. However, i can personally tell you they are AMAZING for pasta!! MY mom and i make about 200 ravioli for a dozen duck eggs. It is far superior to chicken eggs. I would keep trying, and eventually you will come up with the right ratio!

    broody duck... needs to be moved...

    Quote: I second this, just move her, those eggs WILL NOT HATCH. Fertility is pretty much gone after 2 weeks, however there is a person on here with a thread about hatching some month old chicken eggs, and i think he got maybe 4 out of 24 to develop. I don't think hes going to have much luck...

    My trip to Holderreads!!! **Pic heavy, and very long winded (sorry)***

    Wish i had some, i just have BEI eggs, and will have some ducklings in the next few weeks from my show quality BEI's. I think i may try runners in the future, dependent on how loud they are. I recently had to get rid of my call ducks (the ones in this thread), because that hen woke me up every...

    Are drakes louder than hens?

    Quote: Yeah, well i live in a SMALL neighborhood, directly in the city. It is illegal for me to have a rooster, but i have one anyway. He sleeps in the garage overnight in his own little isolation chamber (which is really soundproof) and comes out in the yard at noon. Nobody complains about...

    Anyone else see these ducks for adoption?

    Quote: They are a GREAT representation of the breed. BEI's have the most beautiful shine thier first fall season. This is when the prisms in their feathers reflect the most vibrant green. as they are trying to attract a mate for the winter. That Drake (the one with the curly tail in the back)...

    My trip to Holderreads!!! **Pic heavy, and very long winded (sorry)***

    Quote: I think those were raised in the past. I dont think he currently has any.. Under his breeds list, you can see what he is currently working with. Just because something was in the book as "was raised on the farm," doesn't mean he currently has any. Dave started a nationally accredited...

    Quote: Me too!! Ive been hatching for about 5 months. I have hatched over 300 birds, maybe more (quail, chickens.) I just started hatching my OWN chicken eggs, and have had 2 successful hatches of my BLRW's and RIR's. I have never hatched out a duck egg before, but always wanted to. I got a...

    My trip to Holderreads!!! **Pic heavy, and very long winded (sorry)***

    Quote: NO idea, but im going to place my new order of BEI's and Blue Fawn's!! i gotta wait a LONG TIME based upon what Dave was saying. I think take orders all year, its just a matter of when they can fill them. If they have the adult birds on hand, and they are not held, then you can get...

She is having a real hard time walking on it, but everytime i seperate her from her sibling she starts to cry...

    My trip to Holderreads!!! **Pic heavy, and very long winded (sorry)***

    Quote: Yeah Dave told me he also spent a lot of work on the genetics chapter. He said that alot of genetic nomenclature is hard to understand because many words are in several different languages, and have different abbreviations, etc. This year he spent a great deal of time to try and...
