Sure! There will be less mixing by then. Freezer camp for 2 boys yesterday. These are a very pretty mix of 2 green eggs to 1 white. I might have to get one of those Tractor Supply incubators yet . . . just to see if I can get some eggs to hatch! I have 21 of these saved up on the counter. Been tilting the carton. Thinking of how they might turn out!
Easter, you know. . .You might become a hatch-a-holic after all, huh?
I do have one customer who wants only duck eggs and pays me $9.00/dozen, not quite free.
Maybe @City farm could give you some tips.
That would be nice. I think my neighbor has one but he never got back to me when I said I would help him and our other neighbor harvest his meat birds in Dec. I think he had C19 and he was also getting cancer treatment so I need to talk to him over the fence again.Sure would be nice to have a community of BYC plucking machine. We could maybe all pitch in and share it?! Ducks have a lot of feathers. Next meat birds are NNs!
Well, I read the Prescott rules, they said something like "no breeding animals or slaughtering visible from the street". I do not have such a location on my lot, lol, no one complained. So far, no complaining about "Randy" the cockerel, either! The complainer was the guy who used to own my house, lucky for me.
Easter? I'm pretty sure that duck egg's should have already been set to make that, as they take longer to hatch then the chicken egg's do?Easter, you know. . .
Last Saturday, according to the hatch-a-long, but there is a week on either side for that. No -- just the season when people might like to have baby ducklings. I do not think that people who just want them for Easter would be good people to buy my chicks, anyway. Up here, it is still pretty cold for brooding them before mid-April. It is supposed to be in the teens again here tomorrow night. This ought to be the last cold spell!
