⚠️
2027 Breed Line up.

All the small print comes first 😆

To simplify things, I have decided not to do any pre orders or waiting lists.
With texts, emails, messages coming from 10 different places and tracking down who wanted what, I almost went crazy trying to find everyone 😆

Hatching eggs will be available February on our website. Most dozens are $120-$150 including shipping.
Eggs ship USPS priority.. Prices on the website include usps shipping. Priority usually takes 4-5 days in transit.

⚠️
I do guarantee to do my part and send fresh, fertile well packaged eggs 🥚,however, I do not guarantee shipping times, hatch rates, give refunds or replacements due to poor hatch rates.
Please understand the risk of shipped eggs prior to ordering.

Local pickup of ducklings and hatching eggs is welcome during hatching season

I vent s*x with 95% accuracy. In the case of a mistake, I will refund the difference between male and female price.
Most female day old duckling prices are around $20-25.
Day old drake prices $10-15
Want to skip the brooding phase?? Coop ready will also be available.

I have a lot of project varieties at various stages. If you have any questions about the genetics of a pen , feel free to ask. I have worked many years on my flocks and will be glad to explain the possibilities of colors from project pens.

Blue hatches blue black and silver
Silver is also called apricot or pastel in some breeds and varieties.

Refusing to learn.....
Sometimes people refuse to take advice or even learn.

Here is an example of how that scenario usually plays out.

Person online "I'm looking to start with THIS breed "

More experienced breeders--" If you're looking to breed to standard, definitely source birds from a breeder, not a commercial hatchery"

Person posts looking for said breed and several breeders respond. They ghost them because they feel the price is too much.

The person buys from hatchery
They raise them up for a year.

Person goes online back to the group. "What do you think of my flock? "

Some people - "They are beautiful"

Breeders-" They look like hatchery stock with poor color and type". It would be best to start over and source birds from breeders. "

Person ignores the constructive comments and hangs onto the comments praising them from non breeders.

Person hypes up their flock and starts selling hatching eggs as exhibition quality.
Breeders start commenting that the birds are nowhere near exhibition quality or bred to standard.

They are cheaper than others, so they still sell.
Breeder offers to help critique their flock if they send photos of each bird on a flat level surface.

They never do.

Persons opinion. "Breeders are overcharging. They are snobby and gatekeepers and bred to standard is BS and a reason to charge more. 😡

New breeders buy from this person because they don't know the difference, and this all starts over.

Please do your research before you buy so that you aren't taken advantage of.

Ask breeders questions. They should be able to explain their genetics and offer breeding advice.
If they can't, it is a big red flag.

It costs a breeder years worth of time labor and money to produce quality stock and price usually reflects.

Do your due diligence.
Purchase price is only the beginning.
It costs just as much to feed poor quality as it does great quality.

Dude, Can I get some personal space please 😂

When I tell you I love this drake, I mean it. ❤️
I feel as if he will do a lot of improvement for my Snowy/Harlequin Runners.

Let's talk about compensation mating for a minute. This group is a great example of just that.

This applies with breeding in general.

Drakes, Bucks, Cockerals, Rams, Bulls etc. ...They are genetically half of your flock or herd.

Sometimes you cannot obtain your perfect herd or flock and you must work your way up by slowly improving and getting the traits that you want by selective breeding.

Regarding ducks and poultry,
Putting an awesome Drake or cockeral over hens that aren't quite perfect is one of the fastest ways to dramatically improve your flock's overall type.
I'm not saying keep obvious culls, BUT
It is possible to cull too hard and you end up bottlenecking your efforts.

With this group of Indian Runners.
This tall, high-carrying drake with a long, snaky neck when bred to shorter stockier ducks should pass down his bottle-shaped silhouette.

If you notice the ducks in the photos, they have more of a production runner type and are not as upright.
They are short, breasty and short necked in comparison.
These ladies are project runners and in creating them, I used Welsh harlequin several generations back. Using this more upright drake should improve future generations . 🧬

I will keep the tallest, slimmest pullets from this cross and breed them back to their father. The others that are not as upright or off color will go as pets.

In poultry and waterfowl, is acceptable to breed back to either parent to lock in desired genetics without defects. Afterward, I would suggest spiral or clan breeding. Inbreeding too much can lead to deformities, poor hatch rates, poor growth, and fertility issues.

Hatch, raise, cull and breed
Repeat....and improve.

My goal for this flock for next year is for all of the ducks I carry into 2028 to have the slender, upright posture of the Drake pictured.
