➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Apparently they are a landrace breed and not really a “breed” so their looks can vary tremendously so it is possible! Although most of the ones I saw while Googling and in articles did not. But some did have crests, others did not. They do seem to match in appearance though, the scrawny, long bodied/long necked look, Speckled Sussex coloring (though coloring varies a lot too), etc. but obviously if the hatchery does not carry that breed then I suppose it is not possible.... :idunno idk
Oh, yes. Swedish Flowers are on my list of highfalutin wants. I think they are only available from a select few hatcheries, though. I do love the landrace breeds — Such variation! I'd love to have Icelandic birds one day as well.
 
TSC has more chicks in :love they are not 75% off though. I figure maybe before they were trying to get rid of the older chicks. Idk. But they have really good breeds this time!! Sexed RIR and Australorps and straight run Orpingtons, all in the same bin, and then straight run bantams, and Cornish Rocks. Not really interested in those last two. But it would be cool to get some more Orpingtons or Australorps or try some RIR... but I have enough chicks lol plus the Orps are straight run and I couldn’t get rid of them once I got attached :hit

Yeah, not many places have them. Although I think more are starting to. Like for example, Meyer Hatchery does now. But probably not the best quality. Greenfire Farms does. And yesssss, I love the Icelandic birds!!! So cool!!
 
I stopped into TSC for scratch and saw a single chick bin that looked like a whoops delivery. They'd already taken the chick area down so these were just in a bin, no corral. They were marked as "assorted breeds, straight run". $.25/each! I saw a couple light and buff Brahma chicks and a few likely to be buff Orpingtons but I wasn't even tempted because straight run.

OMG I think I would have bought them all!!! Even as straight run that price can’t be beat!!! But yeah, it would have been a pain to get rid of the roosters!! So probably better you didn’t!! That price though..... :eek:

Hey Ideal redid their website!
 
I noticed that today as well! I giggled when I saw the "Speckled Sussex" hen pics... Clearly Russian Orloffs.
I'm happy to see they are noW calling the Easter Eggers Easter Eggers.
I love that change!
