Karen--I will watch for some splash marans. I have only one blue hen, so with the blue roo, only 1/4 could possibly be splash. I think. Last I checked the chart...haha

random odd question... did someone on here have mini silver appleyard ducklings, or welsh harlequin ducklings for sale?

Well that is okay then. I just really want a splash of something outside.

I have standard appleyards not the minis.

gotcha. I haven't seen either really.... I was looking to maybe get a couple of ducks...but trying to decide between those two I posted. I thought maybe the minis would be nice, seeing as they won't get as big as regulars.... but yeah.... anyways lol

Oh man.... any duck lovers that can go save these babies? (free) I don't know anything about ducks except they don't look like they are going to survive where they're at for long. They looked scared and cold. I work and have predators and nothing set up for ducks or I'd go get them.

ah, apparently I called the wrong number. He said someone was going to pick up some, but he'll likely have some left over. I'm trying to see if he'll be able to meet me at Cabela's at the point of the mountain. He has to deliver some this evening to someone else, but wasn't sure if he'd be able to make it as far as Cabela's. He was going to call me back.


by the way, SUPER nice guy

Karen, just like humans, it sounds like not all chickens are cut out to be mothers LOL!

I just set eggs----I tried to collect eggs from the best girls--big eggs and frequent layers, hoping they hatch, I read somewhere the bigger eggs are not as easy to hatch? Is that true? I have a couple hens I would love offspring from, hoping the laying gene passes down

So, if anybody knows anyone on here looking for chicks...send 'em my way! There are some sex linked eggs in there, so there will be some "fo sho" girlies.

Oh I wouldn't mind some sex links. And, that is one huge egg..you have some really nice looking eggs Lisa!
I have this last few to hatch, then I am wrapping up my bators. I have two different sets from Diana, and a few NN from Shannelle. Well, 4..hoping they are NN's. A blue would be nice.

She has those.

Ducks and geese are so much fun. I think you would really like them. I have read that the WH's can be flighty. My SAs are really sweet and will eat right out of my hands and let me stroke them (that is a pretty big deal coming from a duck, they aren't usually as personable as chickens can be). The minis are call ducks that are bred to have the SA coloring from what I understand. I can't tell you much about them or their personalities but I have heard that incubating their eggs can be a bugger. SA hens can be loud!! Are you close to neighbors that might complain? If you are you might consider keeping a couple of drakes instead. They make a raspy noise rather than a loud quack.
