About Us
This is a first year in
a long time that I’m not updating everything on my site. I’ve gone back to work
in the real world, and I just don’t have the time. I’ve updated my fertile egg
prices and will put up pics of my 06 hatch birds and new purchases as soon as
the mud goes away.
Overall, I’m happy with
the 06 hatch birds. I have culled heavily again. I’ve started weeding out the
older birds that I bought 4-5 years ago that are the backbone of my breeding.
The birds I’m breeding are now beating the birds that have been purchased.
That’s always a good feeling.
We attended the
Crossroads of America Show. What an awesome experience. We took 20 birds with
us and came home with a lot more than that. We showed birds in the Open and Jr
levels. The overall majority of our birds placed with some BOV and ROV. We had
the BOV with our snowy mallards in both the open and junior show. My son’s
pekin drake was Reserve Champion Waterfowl in the junior show. Our pekin pullet
was second to the pullet that was BOB in the open show. This show put our birds
and breeding program to the test, and I think we passed.
I don’t breed to produce
large numbers of birds. I never have. The advantage of this is that I only
keep a few top birds to breed with. The disadvantage is that I don’t have a
hundred to pick from.
People wonder why I sell
eggs from my actual breeding pens. I can’t hatch every egg that I have. I know
people have hatched some excellent calls from my pens, because I’ve heard about
it from other breeders and from the people that have purchased eggs.
Fertile eggs will be
done in late May this year. Please don’t email me about purchasing less than 6
eggs or purchasing one duckling. (I get some bizarre emails.) If you are
interested in ducklings, young birds, and older breeding stock please email me
in April/May, and I can let you know what I have. Spring and summer birds are
pick up only.
I’m looking forward to 07,
Janet
