Could you get the picture where it's right side up?

Can I help you with anything else?

What you don't like to lay down to read?

Do you mean lie or lay? Don’t know whether you guys say it differently to us.
I wasn’t reading it to start with, so just quickly took a photo of it.

Thank you so much! I could’ve made it work, but I felt too lazy.

Do you have any more questions?

Not at the moment, but I’m looking into buying call duck hatching eggs, and I’ll send you pics of the parents for opinions when I find some I like.

I have a question. Can you name some common combinations that could be mated to create Silver/Spot and Abacot/Snowy.

For example, if you had a fabulous Gray drake that you wanted to start with, what could you mate him over to eventually get to either of those colors? What would the ducks need to carry? How would the following generations go?

Is it legal to send eggs from the UK to US?
