Anyone got hatching eggs? Wife likes lavenders and chocolates. I like all whites.

I'm afraid you're gonna have to wait till spring.

some excited, I got my muskovy eggs through the post on Thursday and they are in the bator, I found a thread on here about how to get the best success when hatching muskies. so i'm going to follow these instructions and fingers crossed that I get my boys francis and Ferdinand some girl friends, these eggs are magpie coloring sorry if this is not the right terminology and my boys are this colours also. STUPID QUESTIONS ALERT I know that breeding muskies with my other non musk ducks will produce in fertile babies, but should they get together which of course I will try not to let happen, will this be the only problems, for example heath or deformaties? and also is it acceptable to breed my magpie muskies with another colour of muskie (incase these eggs are not magpies coloured after all) for example with white/chocolate etc? popped the eggs in the bator on Friday 20/11 this of course means they will arrive around Christmas time. not the best planning, but when will my girls begin to lay, will they be old enough in the spring or will it be the next season before they lay.
thanks in advance for the help trying to learn as much as poss as fast as I can x

never incubated a thing before, only through my birds but can comment on the mixed part, i do have some buff orpington & Muscovy crosses.. they are quite the bird lol pretty to look at, some fly some don't... it's a mixed bag on what you get in the end.

OOOH! I wonder if you have any on the smaller side? My Daisy was a small thing & I think I'd like to have another Muscovy. I've been kicking around the idea of hatching a few then keeping a female indoors again.

I have birds from a small line. I would be willing to sell eggs this spring. They would be blues chocolates or buffs.

Lovely! That reminds me of my flock. Bit of everything. It's a bit like Noahs ark lol
Turkeys geese ducks chooks. I'm selling a lot of geese for Christmas if anyone interested.
In January-February I want to get either turkeys or pheasants for breeding. What do you reckon?
I'm only keeping a trio of muscovies, 3-4 chickens for eggs, pair of geese and either pair or trio of turkeys or trio or quarter of pheasants.
