On this thread feel free to share news about broodies, incubation, hatchings and hatchlings.
1/9/19 - Breeding and Hatching Plans.
Plans for this season are listed down below. Also, in a few weeks I’ll be taking some of my mallards and both Aussie calls to get looked at/ judged by a British judge. I’ll be getting told straight forward if they’re bad quality birds. The Aussie Calls are most likely getting the comment as they aren’t the best quality, as they need a smaller round body, larger head and better plumage. As for the mallards I think it’ll be split some birds that are bad others that are ok. For breeding I may look into putting the ‘best’ birds together for breeding, and put the worst birds together. I’ll be trying to hatch more of the better birds, but will still hatch out some of the worst to see if anything interesting is produced.
At the end of the year/early next year I’ll also look into getting some more mallards, Aussie Calls and Black muscovies.
Breeding:
Mallards
Aussie Calls
Runners (maybe)
Hatching/Incubation:
Mallards - Incubate and allow ducks to brood.
Aussie Calls - Incubate and allow duck to brood.
Runners - Incubate and put under muscovy.
I’ll keep it updated on news regarding stock, incubation and hatching.
Edit: I may look into getting some more black Muscovy ducks and Mallard Call ducks as I’ve found some people who have some. Problem is one is in Victoria (and currently doesn’t have any birds available, but we can enquire for the future) and the other is maybe 2-3 hours away. I’ll see if my parents will allow me to get them (muscovies) for my birthday.
