Nag, nag, nag!! “ Get off my back”

Not what I had in mind when you said chicken nuggets!

Ready or not, here I come!

I successfully hatched 5 call duck eggs that the duck had kicked out the nest very early one morning. The eggs were all very cold by the time I saw them. I would say yes.

Thank you and sorry for asking so much on your post. I’m new to posting on BackyardChickens as well as Silkies so just learning how it all works. Old dogs and new tricks springs to mind 🤦‍♀️

I would be more than happy with that! Sorry, I don’t know how this works either 🥴

You are an Angel, thank you. please yack my ears off, I know nothing! I also bought USA hatching eggs so I have a selection of blue, cuckoo, gold partridge, more splash and more paint, silver partridge and Lord knows what 🤦‍♀️

Thank you for the advice, it is appreciated! I was told to breed the paint hen to the black cockerel and paint cockerel to a black hen :-/ plus splash to splash. That could be a load of twaddle though

Good luck with your paints, you sound dedicated. Mine are nowhere near standard quality but I just wanted to see if I could breed paints. I bought 2 paints, male and female, a black cockerel and a splash hen and stupidly thought it was as simple as that :-/

Calls are cute and funny wee ducks but females are very loud! I have one called Gabby who likes trying to be louder than the others. I have decided to breed paints too, as well as splash. I’m only just starting out and my birds are still young so I haven’t had to deal with extra cockerels yet...

I started with Call ducks a few years ago so Silkies are definitely easier and cleaner :)
