I'm doing it tomorrow!
My neighbor knows someone who might be giving me all the fencing I need to re-do my runs this summer for FREE (that's over 300 feet of 4' tall fencing!), because he owns a junkyard. I've been holding off until I know whether or not I'll be getting it - but I'm supposed to hear from him tomorrow, so I'll get them separated out regardless.
My Dutch Hookbill girl is a solid Dusky - I'm hoping to get some bibbed girls from Holderreads!

The duskies are pretty too! Good deal on the fencing!

Becca,
I'm putting some in my incubator tonight too. Some of my broodies have a few eggs too. The little guy is eating well and loves his little bitty water bowl. I've been feeding him a wet mash of turkey pellets with vitamine suppliments and cut up greens floating in the water. Growing fast already!

The hookbill ducks are so cute! I wish I could get some hatching eggs for them. I noticed a picture of one in my duck book (by Holderread) and ever since I really wanted some, particularly since they are so rare.
So cool!
I've had this breed on my wish list for a few years now.
I almost bought a pair of white Hookbills form DH but decided
I'd rather have the colored ones.

I'm not sure how the genetics work, but I know that someone here on BYC has hatched Whites from a pen of Solid Duskies and Bibbeds. I want all three varieties, so even if I don't get a White one, there's always the possibility of hatching one!
