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
