Anyone want to swap Waterfowl Eggs?

[Parachromis]

I see. Have you shipped eggs before? I would still be interested if you were comfortable doing it. I just finished tallying up all of my friends and family orders and there were more than expected. I'm going to be booked up on fertile eggs for a week or so. If you still want to swap we can "schedule" it 2 weeks out. And I forgot to mention this in my last post; your babies are gorgeous. I'm a little jealous lol

Wabbit1964, what do you have?

Pekin, Ancona, females and males that are a mix of ancona/pekin.

I have never shipped eggs before, but I’m not opposed to it. Do you have pictures of your silkies? My incubator is (again) full of Ancona eggs at the moment, so it will be more than three weeks until I’ll be ready. Our first batch of babies all went to new homes yesterday, so I’m literally feeling like an empty nester!

I have 6+ Cayuga eggs for swap (or multiple shipments of 6+) I'm wanting some goose eggs and or silver appleyard eggs... But make me an offer I'm willing to think and negotiate about it

i have some harlequin welsh drakes if some one can come and catch em.

@duckdiva I love your picture that is so sweet...

Sorry for the slow reply, I haven't had much time to get online lately. But that timeframe sounds perfect. I've got just over 20 eggs under a Khaki mama ready to pop any time now. I can't wait for full nest syndrome lol. Here's some pics of the gang

Your flock is beautiful! Can you tell which mama laid the eggs? Do your silkies free-range? My Anconas literally have free reign in our neighborhood and I’m not worried about aerial predators.

Thank you. They're all laying except one of the Silkies. I got my first egg from them yesterday in a Cayuga nest. The ones that are hatching now were mostly From a Khaki, but I threw some other eggs under her before she started setting.
I'm not sure if it can be called free range or not, but my backyard is fenced and they roam freely inside. I live on the edge of a forest/swamp/lake so lots of predators. Oddly enough mothballs keep them from coming in the yard. Coyotes and bobcats routinely walk by within 20ft of the ducks and don't get any closer. And luckily there's alot of tree cover back there, so birds of prey aren't as interested. There's owls, eagles, osprey, various hawks and other meat eaters that live here and not having a very clear shot at the ducks seems to be enough. Or maybe i'm just very lucky lol

There's eggs from everyone but the Silkies in this picture. The green ones are the mixed breed girls, the darker one at the top is Cayuga, and the rest are mainly Khaki with some Pekin
