Good AFternoon Everyone,
I have checked nearly all hatcheries and our local TSC for this particular breed of duck and have not been successful so here's my last ditch effort: Does anyone know anyone who has these ducks or ducklings for sale? Like a neighbor or somebody not online or an animal...
In Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens p 273 It says when a hen with a sex-linked trait is mated with a rooster without it the cockerel offspirng will inherit the trait but not the pullets. So I'm wondering if the cockerels will be red??
Hi everyone,

Because of the shorter days, I have found providing extra light has helped production of eggs. My golden comets didn't start laying until about 20 weeks and they are a cross of RIR and leghorn.
20 hens and 4 roosters. Three roosters are kept together in a separate enclosure. Roo the Barred PR rooster is with the hens. We thought about planting a row of clover in there this spring.

We live in middle tennessee and the temps tend to get below freezing at night. and the windchill can be brutal out in the sticks. They have a fenced yard that they can go to anytime. The hens in question are about 9 months old.
