"If you are looking to hatch a solid chicken, for eating or laying, these eggs may be what you are looking for. Over 45 years of scientific breeding research have gone into the development of this chicken through a blending of special strains of White Leghorns. Livability and resistance to disease are very high." They sent four extra. so I got 30 eggs total and four I have taken out. I have some doubts about a couple, so I separated them from the flock!
I can see how this can become a pleasurable hobby.
Are there any ducks available as of yet?
Thanks,
Laura
I would be interested in 2 or 3 ducklings, if you still have some. Have they hatched yet? As I don't drive, I would have to arrange pick up on the weekend, unless you are heading my way - Tempe. Also, saw this on Craigslist this morning, sounds like a good home.
Thanks,

WANTED: Muscovey duck or ducklings

My male Muscovey died a few days ago, and it is so sad to see his longtime mate mourning him. She is now my only duck, although I have chickens. I would like to get another Muscovey as soon as possible -- color is unimportant.
I would like another female, or a mated pair, or a few babies, or a VERY gentle male as my female, while healthy, is twelve years old this month. We love her very much -- she is a part of the farm family here who even comes when you call her.
Please, Muscoveys only as they are quiet and don't require a lot of water. I'm willing to drive 100 miles and pay a reasonable price; I don't expect a freebie. And, yes, I have already contacted Webfoot Rescue.
Thank you.
I am totally interested in purchasing some ducklings. Should I contact you around Easter then?

Great to meet with you this morning at the chicken class! I am sorry we had to leave early but the girls were getting restless, and a bit noisy too!
Anyway, do you need a minimum of half an acre in Pheonix to keep ANYy number of chickens, or just twenty? If you had less space could you keep a fewer number like three to four?
Thank you again.
Michelle.
