    I just wanted to thank each of you that replied to this - really really answered questions for me and made things clearer for me! Nice discussion. :-) Quote: The reputable breeders didn't get there overnight. Most of them are what I'd respectfully call "old timers" who have spent a lifetime...

    Quote: Being new to this, I got raked over the coals too so I emailed a friend of mine who grew up in France. Here is what he said. "Closest pronunciation would sound like saying 'mar' and 'on'. Kind of like moron but with an 'ah' sound after the m. Also 's' is silent. There is a town in...

    Quote: I was sent the blue eggs from the breeder because her BC was laying so sparsely. I'm not intending on breeding the blues tho - just clarifying. But I would like a nice one that at least "looks" right! LOL

    How many ladies should there be per drake? I have one Adult drake Pekin and his mate I raised as ducklings about 1 1/2 years old (or just over)- and a young one born in May from their eggs, that I think is a drake, he's never tried to mate with it so thats why I'm guessing its a drake, but I...

    AWESOME! Thanks SO much!!!! Quote: Their website is http://www.aboutssenterprises.com/, and you can call them at (270) 777-0240. The folks after my small batch were doing ~425 meat birds, so they're definitely good at doing large orders.
