Breeding season of 2012....(who else is excited?!)

[mandelyn]

I am CRAZY excited! I haven't been able to hatch my own birds since I had stayed with my dad when I thought husband was getting out of the Army... I moved back up here, only to move back! But while here, I had a super cute OEG rooster and his hen.

This year though, I will FINALLY have Saxony eggs to hatch! Yippee! Will be adding 2-4 more hens from them.

Breeding sounds like fun. I have lots of ducks. I still have pallets left-over from building my duckhouse. Should I start building duck-condos so I can pair them up? I don't want to do the incubator thing -so somebody would have to set on the nest.
