How does the drake look?

 

[ColtHandorf]

He's of lower quality than she is in my opinion, but I'd say breeder quality for sure. Just be sure to select for short bills and round, derpy heads when you're breeding. And to maximize your clutches swap your current calls eggs with this hen's so she can brood a set and then this call can brood another. Incubating them sucks.

Are you saying naturally brooding calls is possible? You don't have to assist those?

Ok thank you!! Do you agree to go with this pair?

 

[CaliFarmsAR]

This is the pair I’m thinking on getting.

 

[ColtHandorf]

Yes, I know which pair, and I'd say go for it.

Yes, apparently the mother can use her stupid little bill just fine to help the little r-word ducklings out of their shells. I can't sit in front of an incubator for three days babying them out of their shells.

Well now I'm definitely getting some when I move. I thought you had to incubate them because they couldn't hatch naturally!

Cali, I hope this pair works out for you.
