a few new pics from the ducks in Chile...

[PATOS]

Holy poop. You are definitely all in

we have formed a company and we have clients waiting for eggs and meat-

 

[Magnolia Ducks]

Eggs will be in a couple of months. A while for meat. Pekins make a lot of sense for dual purpose.

 

[PATOS]

well the plan is to try to keep growing in numbers without losing quality of life!
I think the Pekins will get 4.5 months of a great life then become good organic food- the runners will lay until they slow down to a point where we need to replace them...
yes??

options??

discuss?

 

[PATOS]

I wish I had a SIM tool to manage the whole flock, breeding, etc

 

[Magnolia Ducks]

Well the Pekins are decent layers too. You could use them for both eggs and meat. The ducks you have now would not make much meat but lots of eggs. Do you plan to keep the Pekins separate for breeding? Do you have a good incubator? None of the ducks you have are particularly good mothers and you will probably need to incubate for offspring.

we will incubate for offspring
I can buy good incubators her in Chile-
th goal is to keep 2 distinct breeds and hone the genes 1 for eggs the other for meat- selective breeding an hand raised open range ducks...

I can't Eat mine because ...names. So I buy my duck meat. Nothing better than seared duck breast. Better than steak.

On a different topic, I was wondering how the herding dog training is progressing?
