Well, I don't know because I can't go over near the bator.. or I want to candle it. I would HOPE that it's through the air cell. LMBO!

But I'm pretty excited about having won an award!!!! Does it come with a cash prize???

No, but they have silkie ducks in gray, which looks like a mallard. I cant really house 10 more either, but I will be culling some

selling some of my welsh harlequin hens (2 or3) in fall,

to make room for better quality hens.

OK, maybe I need to go back to that sight then and look at pics. We are going to need bigger places to live. Especially if we keep adding things to our flocks.

OMG you're right. I looked at pics and it's the gray. But when I looked at the snowy and black ones... I'm in LOVE with them too.

I always wanted to breed a silky to my mallards. What do you think that would do? I need to research the gene a little more.. Just wondered what might come of that.

I might to

You (i think) would get a slightly silkied mallard

Im hopeing for snoweys, or grays, wouldnt mind blacks

if I dont get the colors I want I might have to order a adult pair

Am I the only one ordering ducklings in spring?

 

[QuackerJackFarms]

I just need to be good and wait until we have a bigger place. My impatience is getting the best of me.

Ok my memory is failing me right now.

What do you do for the water test to check for good eggs?

I am sending some eggs out and I want to make sure they are at least not rotten. LOL

If it floats in water it's an older egg. And when it floats you KNOW it's floating.

I float all mine that I sell just to be sure I didn't miss one or anything. Make sure the water is cool.
