My New friend who is hatching Pendesenca eggs for me.......

The other lady is coming to pick up the remaining 6 Ducks in less than an hour.

I know they have to go, but Darn, it's hard. I love them all!

Good Bye Delilah...
Bye Lilly...
And Runtie, and Daria, and Shadie and Darka...
And ofcourse, the Drake, Dorian........

Those are cool looking! What is the story behind the breed?


Noo Ash! NO MORE ROOs!!! If Tori is right, I have a brooder full of boys!

They were developed in Norway around the early part of the last century. They wanted a winter hardy egg layer that was an easy keeper. They are also colored for camouflage to give them some predator defense. i got my eggs from Rosemary in Montana who thought they would be a perfect breed for Alaska. We're going to find out! She did say that they are prodigious layers of large pale ivory eggs.

Ok got it, you guys gotta stop using big words on this girl. You forget, I graduated from North Pole High school!.....

Sounds like a great breed for up here! Just don't ask me to pronounce it...

 

[Ban seabhag]

Too late! I caught it.

I just love that word... and how often do you get to use it. Better if I spell it right though!
Deb I graduated from Chugiak.....Back when it had 450 students total and that was only because the 8th grade was in it too!
