near PV, you should look it up, I think it's all 10 acres. You could have several roosters!

We went to some places like that, Hubs said, "Too far!" LOL
I have sunk my claws in here, illegal roos and all!

Green with envy of you guys gardens. Here, the garden still has dirty, melting patches of snow. I try to remind myself of the green in summer Monsoon rain, if we get any!

Anyone want a couple of drakes? They are surplus here, we all know that no one wants extra drakes, just thought I would ask. One is a Golden Cascade, the other is a white Campbell layer. The Golden Cascade is a surprisingly meaty, heavy guy. The white Campbell is lean enough to fly over the 2' fence into the compost bin. 4 males and 4 ducks = too much activity and chasing!

A few years ago I read that there's actual scientific study evidence, that the egg-laying genetics of the drakes, passes along to their offspring. So if someone had some blue swedish or other lesser-laying breeds they could get one of these drakes and the offspring would lay more like the drakes' sisters.

If no one takes them, you can do this with them:

That is the plan, only 2 just eat one this weekend, freeze the other.

I had some duck in France, they pound the breast meat flat &grill it -- YUM! But it's a lot of work, and If someone had a used for them alive, I would drive them over today. They get along together fine in jail without the girls.

I could probably hatch mixes like that right now, man are they busy guys! The White Campbel is really overdoing it on the Ancona duck. She likes the Rouen Drake best.

I'm going to be looking for some canning supplies this year, because I want to start canning a few thing's that will be shelf stable. I will also be thinning out a bunch of book's off the shelves and boxing those up to make room for the jars of canned good's.
