I'm going, and would offer you a ride, but the 4 kids take up quite a bit of room. You could follow. I think we're going down the day before and camping out. I'm not sure yet if the camping is only for the vendors. If so, we'll be getting a room.

I think we've finally settled on our duck and chicken breeds we wanna get Welsummer, or RIR or Plymoth Rock or Dominique does anyone know which ones have the quietest rooster, and who sells any? And for Ducks welsh Harlequin and ancona still getting the yard and housing together but the fence is the biggest thing is probably the fence hope to finish that this year.

Yayy it's been decided!!! I'm getting 10+ call duck eggs from ebay in mid march!

Any tips on incubation?

Any tips on incubation?

Yeah, slip them under a broody cochin or silkie hen. BTW, if you are buying eggs on eBay, they probably won't be very good quality ducks.

Thanks. I found someone with 100% positive feedback and she has pictures of her ducks which I can tell are authentic and definitely not stolen. she also has crested ones. Someone actually hatched half the eggs they got from her!! which is to me really good.

 

[Funky Feathers]

Ah, Duckhouse Dogs. Her name is Candy. She has a ton of Calls, many colors mixed together. You may get some "mutts" (mixed-up colors), since her ducks all free range, so no show quality there. But the thought of getting some crested calls is very exciting. Good luck. I would definitely use a hen to hatch them with cresteds in the mix.

 

[iluvsedward]

Haha how'd you know i was ordering from her??? I like mixed colors so that won't be a problem. and I'm very excited! I really hope they hatch,

at least I'm really good at helping if anything goes wrong. How are call ducks with free ranging? don't worry I have plenty of housing options, I just don't want them to be cooped up all day. and what should I have the humidity at during incubation? I was thinking around 55- 60% and then up it to about 75-80% during lockdown.

I went to this swap last year (both in June and Sept) and am really happy with the birds I bought. If you are looking for specific breeds you want to get there as soon as they open because some things sell out fast.
