Which duck hen will be a better breeder? *PICS*

[DUCKGIRL89]

Out of these 2 hens, I need to pick one as a breeder. Both look like nice quality, but I can only pick one.

Heres my drake, kinda ratty looking today, he had been in the water so long he waterlogged himself... silly boy!... His chest was a bit ruffled, he doesn't really have a bare spot there.


(Sorry, it may be a bit blurry)

Hen #1......... Kinda leaning more torwards her.





Hen #2.

The one that lays a greater number of fertile eggs?

They are both pretty good looking ducks. I'd use fertility as the tie breaker. Stick them in pet taxis or something at night so you know which egg came from which and crack each egg open for breakfast for 7 days and keep track of who is laying the most blanks.

All 3 eggs I get a day are fertile.... Even after being.in the fridge for forever. I'm looking for quality mostly.

DG, get a copy of the SOP so you can read up on all the breeds you are collecting. Don't go off of what someone else tells you looks nice, learn it for yourself so you are sure on what your breeding goals are.
