As I'm now NPIP Certified and have sold a mutt or two (fully disclosed as mutts, gender not guaranteed), I checked "from a Breeder" and also checked "In an Incubator". I'd be very pleased if one of my Pekin ducks would let me check "under a Broody" but none have seen fit to offer me that satisfaction.

Down the road, I intend to offer two birds - Pekin Ducks, and a homegrown dual purpose landrace suited to free ranging my area of the country - but its many generations from stable, so for now - "mutts" to people interested in that sort of thing.
