I am in Colorado. I might sell ducklings (would prefer that since the eggs can be a challenge to hatch). If I know far enough in advance, I can try to make sure enough eggs are set. I don't anticipate having a huge amount of surplus Mini Appleyards this year. I had ordered a dozen new ducklings to add to my breeding stock last year and was only able to get four (2 pairs). That leaves me now with only about a half dozen hens since some of my original birds have pretty much stopped laying regularly now (they are 7-8 years old).
We will have to see how the breeding season goes, but i should be able to sell at least some. If you have never had them before, you will love them! They are far and away my favorite breed. To me, they are one of the prettiest birds on our farm and without a doubt, they are the friendliest we have.
