BIN-12+ blue/splash Runner duck hatching eggs

[WestKnollAmy]

I am taking orders for a dozen plus Runner eggs. I recently put together one breeding pen from 2 I had going. After evaluating what I was hatching I decided to incorporate my best birds and put my others back to work in the garden.
My best blue Runner drake is over blue hens, splash hens and one nicely shaped fawn/wht hen.

These birds lay very well and are beautiful to watch. I enjoy using them to get the bugs out of my garden since they are sure footed and do not hurt my plants. They are tall enough to pick bugs off my growing plants and they leave the veggies alone. I enjoy watching them roam the farm in search of food and they are really easy to herd, not to mention smart and understand words and names.

It is a first pay, first serve sale. I wrap all eggs individually in bubble wrap and place in a Priority box lined inside with more bubble wrap to ensure a safe trip. Hatching from shipped eggs has been very good as well as getting a 99% hatch rate here.
Shipping included in price!

PM me for available shipping dates and PayPal info. Thank you for looking.

You are welcome to visit my website for more photos of the Runners.

Would you be able to ship 2 doz together, and if so how much would that be?

 

[WestKnollAmy]

Considering the size of the eggs, it would be double the price set. I will have to use a bigger box for shipping. They are bigger than chicken eggs and take much more room. But I can do it for you without any problem.

I highly recommend this seller. I received 14 eggs from her and 13 made into lockdown. This is my first time incubating Duck eggs. I have 4 ducklings hatched so far and more pips. Looks like this may be the best hatch I have had with shipped eggs.

And to think these eggs traveled from South Carolina to Washington state and still you have a fabulous hatch! That is awesome!
I am sure a lot has to do with your great incubating, which is what some buyers do not understand.
But also, these eggs have been hatching like mad here as do all my eggs. If they did not, I would not advertise. I always set eggs long before I put up an auction to make sure for a few weeks that I will get good hatches from them, then when someone buys eggs I also set a few eggs right along with them to be sure of fertility and hatchability.

Thank you for the recommendation! And congrats on your great hatch!

Here is what I got first thing this morning from eggs I set with your shipment. More have hatched since but I haven't moved them over to the hatcher yet. (Obviously the Mottled chick in the back ground is not one of them! LOL I hatch everything together and put it in the hatcher together.)

I had 11 out of the 14 eggs hatch. I have to say this is my best hatch with shipped eggs ever and I have had quite a few shipped eggs.

You need to take some of the credit. You must be raising some healthy birds. Thank you so much. I have more ducks than I expected.

I look forward to watching them grow.

Wow! Congrats on the hatch! I am sure you know how to correctly set your bator and care for it, too though.

My birds are in great shape. I have a stool sample checked several times a year to ensure they are parasite free (I deworm naturally with pumpkin seeds and red pepper flakes) and I make sure they free range in the months they are not in breeding but also have a grassy pen when they are in breeding plus several kinds of feed for optimum nutrition. All my birds are cared for with the highest protocols. I was a nutritional specialist for several years when I worked as a vet tech and I did that for almost 20 years and went to college to get a degree in animal husbandry. But that was ages ago.
Nothing beats healthy birds in a natural environment and that is my standard. It shows on my hatches here, too.

Thanks for letting me know what a splendid hatch you have gotten. Shipping can be extremely rough on eggs and to get a great hatch from sending a box from one coast to another is awesome! I wish everyone could get as great a result as you have!

I'd like two dozen, Amy. I might have to have them shipped as sad as that is! I just don't have time to run up there to get them. I'm falling in love with ducks!

 

[WestKnollAmy]

Susanne! That is sad! LOL But I understand busy, busy!

I am coming down to Kris and Roberts' in Gray Court for my turkey poults either Friday or Sunday if you would like me to drop them off at your place first. I have 2 dz going out this week but they lay about 6-8 a day so 2 dz is easy to get together in a few days.
Or if you prefer, I can ship them next Monday. Either way is fine with me. If you would like to be placed as next on the list to receive eggs then PM me for my PayPal info and details.

Thanks!

Another beauty to show what I get from my Runner duck pen and some photos of the kids growing up. They are still laying like mad and I am happy to keep taking orders.

This is a little one hatched this morning. And yes, my hatcher always looks dirty. I hatch about 30 chicks at a time and this hatcher has been running non-stop for more than 2 years now.



Some of the kids growing up now. These were taken about a week ago.




Ignore the Cayuga. I raise many breeds together in the grow up pen. The blue pied in front has been sold to Blueberry Hill as well as the splash on the right. So far I have hatched more girls than boys. Hope it keeps up like that as I continue to hatch out ducklings. I do love my Runners!
