Just PM'd you. Don't stress thoug, why do you tink the goslings need ducks with them?

 

[JulieNKC]

the calls will be too little to be with the geese.
lol.

You might not be able to brood them together anyway. Iain tried with the africans and anconas and said the africans were nibbling at the ducks too much.

Marty.. We eat duck eggs all of the time, and have 3 customers who buy a doz each every other week. Our teenage son bakes cookies with them too about every week.

CG, what type of ducks do you want? Are you on a timeline? Do you want hatching eggs? I can't set another duck egg right now and get 4 khaki eggs daily. Pay the shipping and I will fill the box. Let me know more than happy to share them.

QJ, this is the long slow part, they will rest often until the start zipping.

When vent sexing, be sure you are pushing in, it's more of a pulling out to the sides away from the vent area. Slow and steady as not to injure them.

Oh and Marty, little man is doing much better. No fever, mild diarrhea but eatting like a champ again. He is an infertility baby, every shot was well worth it to have him.

QJ, sorry the chicks are giving you a hard time hatching. Are they in with the geese?

Jaz, too funny about the escape, maybe create a most wanted poster (all old west style) and post it.

I'm okay with long and slow as long as I get the end result I want.

(There ya go JZ.. top that.)

I went back for seconds. Mmm. Too bad there was no bacon to go with it.

Then I took a trip down to a feedstore I hadn't been to before. No ducklings (*phew*), but they've got chicks. I got their list of expected shipments, but there's nothing I can't live without. You should have seen the lost look when I asked the woman if they were going to get Saxony ducks...

Guess I'm going to have to suck it up and buy some hatching eggs from across the country.

Join the club, lol.

im trying to keep them attached to ducks, not just themselves.
i need them to stay togather and not just everyone go their own way .

which prolly will not work out.
but hey i can try ,

oh.
well hmmm.

They are a landrace, not a breed so they come in every color and with crests and without I believe. Most of the ones I see look mille fleur to me though.

I know she had black in her flock. I may have to get some reds to go with these.. Ya know , for breeding purposes.

 

[WhiteMountainsRanch]

Wow thanks for the welcome everyone! And I'd say chatty! 3 pages already since I posted!

I'm gonna have a hard time keeping up!

Celtic: The geese were totally separate from the other eggs.
