Sorry!!

Wow it's May already! so sorry i've not updated since January, its just been manic at work recently and we have been busy sorting the mess that was our back garden, but it has all come together now!!!!
Anyway, to update you all..... Ruby and Jemmima my 2 chocolate and white muscovy girls have been sat tight for 3 and nearly 4 weeks on some of our own fertile duck eggs! (will try to get some pics at the weekend) I had to remove their own eggs as even if they hatched the babies would be sterile as I have no muscovy drake but 2 very amarous cayuga boys!! so the eggs they are sitting on are Lily and Gracie's, the runner girls and Dabble the Khaki campbell girl. Now these could be a mix of runner duck, khaki campbell and cayuga duck!!! so will be very interesting to see what colours we get?
Also my little salmon faverolle girl Foxy had been persistantly broody for about 2 weeks despite me taking the eggs away each time she had hoarded enough so I gave her 3 duck eggs to start with which are now the ones under Jemmima Duck and have given her a clutch of mixed bantam eggs (a mix of pure breeds such as silkie seramas, pekins, japenese etc) today is only day 2 so will candle them in a few days to see how many are growing!Will start my main hatches this year about mid June, will be using any broody hens i get but will also use the incubators. on my list are
Wyandottes
Pekins
Dutch
Sablepoots
Cream legbars
Araucanas

Ruby's babies are due any day now so will update again then :O)

New year!

All the babies hatched last year are now starting to lay!!!! im finding eggs everywhere! still have a few to go to new homes and am planning what to start hatching for this year! definately on the hatching list are, araucanas, cream crested legbars, assorted laced wyandotte bantams, welsummers LF, and Dorkings. have also had some requests for RIR bantams and buff orpingtons LF, but may be another month or so till im sure what is available!
All the ducks are now getting frisky!!!! in the pond so may well have some hatching eggs available soon, and im planning on seperating the runner duck trio so will hatch some runner ducklings (as soon as the ducks start laying!)
Watch this space............!
