6+ Mixed Swedish / Ancona Duck Hatching Eggs

[SparkyCrows]

These are mixed eggs from my free ranging swedish blues and anconas. There are 2 swedish blue drakes, 2 swedish black drakes, and 2 ancona drakes running with 4 swedish splash, 2 swedish black, and 1 ancona hen. One of the swedish blue drakes has a nice crest.

These girls are all young layers. I've only hatched one clutch off of them so far but I had a 90% hatch rate in a Little Giant 'bator.

CRESTED and PUREBREDS are possible.

This is my first BYC sale (with help from ChooksChick) but I've sold extensively on eBay -- my user name there is also SparkyCrows.

Hey SparkyCrows!

I think I bought some Pure Ancona eggs from you a while back. Had one hatch a bit ago and was absolutely ADORABLE! unfortunately since it was first time doing duck eggs I didn't do too well - learning curve all the way.

Anyway, if you happen to have any Ancona Purebreds let me know - they are way to cute and hard to find!

 

[SparkyCrows]

Great to hear from you! I'll pm you when I've got them running as purebreds again

Thanks Sparky!

I really wanted to keep the one but a couple coming to pick up Silkies decided they just adored him and talked me into letting him buy them. He was probably one of the most gorgeous ducklings I have seen so far - every day his colors changed just a bit and his markings turned more silvery-lavender on his spots. He also had the nicest blackish brown markings on his legs and webbing.

I would buy from you anytime!

These sound like they'll be super cute!

I just hatched a set with my preschoolers - the kids are all absolutely enchanted!

My mom just ordered some buff ducks from a hatchery and they arrived dead. So, I've convinced her to do eggs and these will be unique.

That must have been terrible for her -- to get a silent box, open it, and find dead ducklings --- ugggggg --- *chills* This. however, will be fun! She'll be able to candle them and watch them grow right from the start.

The postal worker looked for her. She wouldn't even look in the box. She came to my house with them crying! I'll end up incubating them. I have 2 incubators. They're getting full of lavender orp eggs and call duck eggs. But I'll make room if I win this auction.

How do you prefer I pay for these?
