Hey Kathy! I just found this thread and it was nice seeing your name! I'm not sure if you remember me but I visited you last summer and I bought a Welsh Harlequin duck, an Ancona duck and a chocolate colored hybrid drake from you. My husband and I were in love with your goslings and we talked about splitting an order....any recollection? I am sorry I didn't respond to your emails, my email system shut down in the middle of a reply to you and then I lost your email so I am so happy you are posting here and I can update you on the duckies! The Ancona and WH are doing fantastic, they are fat, happy and so very sweet and are really good egg layers (other than when they went on strike last week, lol). Unfortunately the hybrid drake got kidnapped by something along with another one of our ducks. We don't let them out unsupervised anymore but they don't seem to mind. We have been bringing them inside to bathe in the tub and they love that and they are spoiled rotten with treats all the time. We just last night shipped off some eggs to someone to test them in their incubator so we are hoping for good results. We only have the one drake right now (the pekin) so we aren't sure if he is fertilizing the eggs or not. We are thinking about setting up our incubator this summer and giving hatching a shot but we are expecting a new baby in April so we want to wait until he is here and things have calmed down a bit. So how have you been? Oh, here is a picture from last fall after we let the ducks swim in our swimming pool before we closed it down....
