OK... I'm confused ... Chickies_Duckies, did you take Bee's offer on the Ancona's? Also, the minimum offer is 6+ eggs. If you haven't recieved eggs from Bee then she has the current offer.
LOL! Ya'll stay up way too late for this gal!
Yep, these are my sweet little ducks. I can ship them to you in late April - I've got your addy from last year's swap log, Mike. I'll put ya on the calendar!
OK... there was an offer but it looks like she removed it. I will re-offer to get us going (can ship around 4/25):
Offer: 6+ Of any of the following waterfowl:
Indian Runner Ducks (Holderread Black Runner over Penciled and Fawn & White girls)
Welsh Harlequin Ducks (Holderread Line)...
No worries Nicky! I got us going again with some Welsh Harlequin eggs. I hope you're getting along fabulously in Scotland and that you'll have ducks in your life again
Daggone it... I knew I should have grabbed some of your eggs last year when you were offering them. Perhaps someone...
I was ready... then my muscovy girls stopped laying on me. Totally bummed. But soon I'll have all my mallard types in their breeding pens for the season and I'll be ready to roll!
Jim, I think all those things are great! I try to do that anyway.
I haven't actually made my offer yet, but the muscovy are white french production. Once it looks like folks are ready to get started I'll be happy to kick off the season. Its just tough to plan for the eggs this early when your...
Geese should be laying now, right? This thread probably needs to be jumpstarted since I think GoFasterStripe has divested herself of ducks since last season. My mallard-types go into the breeding pens next month so all I have that's pure to offer are a few Muscovy eggs at the moment. If...

Im on day 23 with your eggs Dana, 9 out of 10 still going strong. I will post pics here next week once they hatch.
Awesome! So far I've hatched one black and one fawn and white (I think). I'm excited to see pics of the hatch. You're babies are adorable in their little pool!

I have WH too and you're right... they are very good foragers and wanderers too! My lone little WH girl is broody now and is very dedicated to her nest.
gosh! my chickens run the barnyard! (except for the geese and my Muscovy drake). I wish some of my ducks would show a little grit...

People ask me that all the time. I dunno ... My chicken eggs are huge too... folks donate their used egg cartons but I give them to another farmer because so many mine are way too big to fit in the extra large. I feed Southern States Gamebird and mix in some flaxseed and BOSS...

No problem, shelleyb1969! I wrote an informational article for my website about Cayuga's: http://2mooses.weebly.com/about-cayuga-ducks.html
Yes, they do tend to brood their own eggs. They're actually wonderful mothers but each bird is individual (as I'm sure you know ). They are...

Cayuga's aren't flyers but they're beautiful on the water - slow land-movers over all. They don't even attempt to use their wings as far as I can tell

No--I just need more silvers & lavenders. Got those?
I've considered going with the colored Muscovy but it's so much simpler to stick with my whites. I don't have to seperate them from any of the other ducks because the Muscovy believe they're all inferior waterfowl and stick to...

No, let's give it another day or two...we need to post more often so it gets bumped up and stays at the top of the boards...plus, I need some more Muscovy eggs!
Rarefeathers... you just don't want the Muscovy I post for swap all the time? Poor Big Boy Muscovy Drake will be sad to...
