Our school has six Anconas here in Brisbane, Australia. We have our first batch of eggs in an incubator.
Gathering more and more knowledge each day about how to breed this rare breed of duck.
Fairly confident there are three males and three females in the ranks. There is a lot of shenanigans between birds, and I guess the first thing to be ascertained is the fertilisation rate of the eggs.
We have a dozen on the go in an incubator at the minute, and I will candle them periodically to hopefully see things developing inside.
These birds are producing 2-3 eggs each day, some with a distinct green hue, the others pure white.
We would like to be able to sell either fertilised eggs and/or hatchlings/ducks down the track. Any ideas of what Anconas command on the open market?
wait what!?! why did you get so many eggs if you knew it would be too much? Not to fear people love little ducklings i would put the extras in the free to good home tab on this site i'm sure you will get a hit too bad you are soo far away would ask for one or two to make up for the one that didn't hatch.

this was meant as more of a funny thing because how often is it that 25 out of 26 actually develop when they are shipped. I'm very happy that 25 out of 26 are developing because honestly I expected 12 or less to develop. We already have over 50 ducks in calls and ancona so what's 25 more? We raise and sell ancona ducklings and call ducklings. We typically get $10 for day old anconas and they sell like hotcakes.

yeah i was really shocked when all 6 of my shipped anacona eggs made it to lock down i only wanted 3 or 4 ducklings so after my first hatch and no chicks i ordered 4 eggs but i kept the two extras that i got in the incubator and bamo 5 ducklings would have been 6 if that one didn't pip though a vein
