I could, but I just culled a lot from my flock and I am down to a trio, so i couldn't sell many. I am hatching some of my eggs now, so I might keep some ducks from this hatch, but either way, I could sell eggs, but not until next spring or early summer. If your looking for ducks now, I would definitely recommend Metzer! My metzer girls have been laying beautifully, and they are nice show birds.

I don't understand the gold phase vs silver phase. Can someone please explain?

Ok. Maybe I will try Metzer then... I think I will take my pic with his catalog at my fair, which is coming up in a few weeks, and then I will be able to get a gift card to pay for at least part of my order

And another thought.....I COULD send you 6-8 eggs....or I could send you 6-8 eggs each week for 2-3 weeks (but shipping would probably cost a lot for that) I don't know if you want a lot or not.....and if you care if they all hatch at once or not. I was just concerned that by the time I could collect more than about 10 and got them shipped, the fertility wouldn't be very high.

Like I said, I only have 2 ducks right now
