what happened to your goats? or am I thinking of someone else who had them?

No I'm the person. They went back to the lady who gave them to me. She decided to live in her old house so she got to keep her field.

i have 4 welsh babies! 1male and 3females, I like them. But they are just babies, so I have no clue what to think of them yet lol. I also have 2 rouen girl babies too. I have some adults too heres a list

2 rouen males
1 rouen female
1 khaki campbell male
1 ancona female
1 call duck female
1 call duck male
And 1 half rouen half mallard crested drake

I also have 5 khaki campbell eggs in my incubator

im hopeing they all hatch so I can get two females out of them and then sell the rest

I havn't seen many people on here with welsh harlequins, only a few. I got these babies at the right time so they will start to lay in the early spring. I plan on selling hatching eggs in the spring of the welsh and rouens, maybe khakis if they lay that soon, they will be a month younger so im not getting my hopes up to high on them. Im sure you will enjoys them

If you want pics let me know, I will post some

Thanks. Let me know how it goes. Do you have a blog I can subscribe to? I am working on setting mine up. It is rough because it is new and I am not done getting it all setup like I want but you can subscribe to it and I will post pictures when I get the ducks. http://lordsflock.blogspot.com/

Now that I think of it the brother sister yhing is fine lol.

Ok good because I will have to do some breeding when I first get them to get my flock numbers up since not many people in my area have these birds readily available. Most of the people around here that have them only have like one or two.

I think I read on this thread, but please don't quote me that it's 7 generations before you have to worry about birth defects, etc. that seems like a long time to us but not so in the duck world.
