Those are cuteGood morning everyone! A couple more pics of the little lovelies before their new owner picks them up this evening. I'm very pleased with the looks of these 3, they look even better than the last 2, and I have 4 more in the bator on day 10. This buyer also wants 4 of my leftover bantams from the last hatch. So I will only be left with a pair of silver duckwing OEGB's. I'm happy with that!

awesome looking little ones WV!
well it would appear, that ducks will be making an appearance on the BertS homestead, sooner than origianlly planned.
found some free ducks locally, about 3 months old.
for now, they will stay in the main chicken yard, until I decide if we want more or not.
lol.......well have a little unfair advantage.........kind of what I do for money.
Morning Berts! Are you in the flood zone!?
Good morning your highness!
Morning Friday! Does the altitude issue have the reverse effect? Like if you ship eggs don't the mountain does the air sac over expand?
You just love a challenge!
Lovely!!! Can't wait to see them grow!Good morning everyone! A couple more pics of the little lovelies before their new owner picks them up this evening.

So true -- we had one duck "gifted" to us (DH was a recruiter for the USMC, one of the guys he contracted had this duck......we had a pond.........which apparently meant it was a "perfect solution" when he had to ship out for the duck to come to us) -- which quickly became three because Judy Duck needed friends, and someone to teach her how to be a duck since she had been raised as a lap pet and had no idea how to be a duck.
Oh, you'll want more! Chicken math also applies to ducks.
Ya'll are officially a bad influence. I had a dream last night that I was hatching chickens & ducks. Mine were the most sought after birds in the land so people were coming from far & wide just to see my feathered kids. LOL

I love the wildlife babies that appear every spring. We have a pair of ducks that have nested on our pond for the last three years running -- just waiting for this year's babies to show up following mama duck around.
Prom with her good friend
Outstanding -- it is sad to see that so many outlets like that can't/won't take non-commercial goods. I get it, the whole food safety thing, but it is frustrating as heck to have good, perfectly useable food that could go to hungry folks and not be able to go that route to get it to them. Our local one can't distribute them themselves, but do have my name/number and have contacted me from time to time about a family in need, etc - and I also watch the local B/S/T page as a lot of times folks will post there in need of help and I'll offer up some eggs. For the most part I don't have an excess anymore, though, as on top of my regular customers I have DD and her fiance who come down a couple times a month to pick up eggs (her fiance had never had "real eggs" before he met her, he is HOOKED!) and I use gift eggs as a thank you for my neighbors who have welcomed our girls with open arms.
this is my tentative plan. we had already planned on some ducks .
