I got a WH egg today! Yay! Its not fertile yet though

Once their fertile, SM you get yours. Is 10 enough?

DG, please send them to the person that wants them after me. Then I will take mine, if that is ok with you. Unless I get this new incubator. I should know tomorrow. I am working on getting one from the incubator warehouse at a discount for my 4-H group

Thanks heaps for the pics, Evelle!!

They all look nice and big except for the one with the small, neat bib. Is that one a drake? He seems little. But you could experiment with him and a large, big-bibbed duck. See what you get.

I'd be inclined to use the one in the second pic (he is also the one who features in the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 7th pics I think). Put him with a duck that has a smallish bib. If you put him with a girl with a large bib you will probably end up with males in particular who have massive bibs that go all the way underneath. The females might turn out nicely though, as far as bibs go. That boy might breed good daughters.

In the 6th pic I like the head on the boy with the brown. But if those are brown feathers rather than mud don't use him for breeding.

I like all the heads on them, actually.

What are your plans for them? Are you going to keep them all?

sorry my daughter broke my air card so it keeps kicking me off the net...

The little one with the small bib is a girl i was thinking of breeding her with the boy with the larger bibs to see what i get.
yeah thats the one with chocolate feathers.. i think ill sell him i dont want those.
so hes the only one i know is going the others ill breed and see what i get out of them before i decide what to do..
the little girl at top was a throw in since i got all 3 of the ladys boys kinda glad she has that smaller bib so i can breed the drake with the HUGE bib to see what i get from her.

the lady had no idea about ducks and clipped alll their wings so as far as white tips i cant tell
we will see if i dont like what comes ill try again.

i thought i had a picture of the other one but cant seem to find it hahaha ill take individual ones later of body and fronts.
