Mare's Illegal Cute-ness (Call Duck) Chat Thread!!

[JacinLarkwell]

That's good to know. I love the face on the dark one in the picture. It doesn't look like a chicken to me. lol

Butterball, my (poorly colored) white laced red turkey look alike is like that. She and some of her chicks are the only one I've had problems from. She needs a nonslip floor when brooding and some of her chicks have had skull or dwarfing issues. I put her with the white pair in hopes that the chick issues were because her and the white laced red male were siblings (very likely)


So Mare, I know how much about your new pair was, how much would you say is a good, non warning sign price for Whites that are better than pet quality?

No, she's a Cornish cross, she just looks like a butterball turkey. Hence the name

Is he Blue Mottled? Must resist temptation to add mottling to my silkied pens...

Yes, blue mottled. That’s George. He’s a fabulous old boy, about 7 years old. After fathering hundreds of chicks over the years, he is retired now and lives with the ducks and 2 mixed hens.

Really depends. I think the average is probably $150-$200/pair. I've seen quite a few in that range anyway.

Okay. Were yours more because of the lines and color they were?
