What's you plan for 2024 chicks!

I love it! I have 3 Jumbo Pekin Ducks that I will be butching soon. I got them at Tractor Supply and thought I was getting Pekins for laying but I guess not. I am ordering some laying ducklings and a dozen chicks from Meyer Hatchery this year. The rest I am hatching from my incubator!

Nice.
What are you planning on hatching.

Thinking Barred Rock, White Leghorn, Salmon Favorelle, New Hampshire Red, Buff Brahma, and Easter Egger! Still not really sure if I'm getting the ducks yet. They make such a mess!

Not a bad selection.


I free range ducks, & keep a pool in a specific area of the yard for them. Don't have ducks currently, just butchered the only 3 we had last month.

I've got a cockerel hatched end of last April, or thereabouts, and he's already a dad. Shouldn't be a problem as long as you see him making the effort to mate.

Thanks he mates all the time no problem there I just wondered if he was develop enough to make eggs fertile.
