6 fertile rouen duck hatching eggs plus free turkey eg
Hurry, we have been getting incredible hatch rates!
Out of the last 50 eggs I put into my incubator 49 hatched out!
OUR ROUEN DUCKS FREE RANGE OVER OUR 5 PLUS ACRES AND SINCE THERE ARE MORE BOY DUCKS THAN GIRL DUCKS, FERTILITY HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM. I HAVE HATCHED OUT ABOUT 200 LAST YEAR, WITH ABOUT 94% HATCH RATE! THE GIRLS ARE LAYING AGAIN !
ROUENS LOOK LIKE MALLARDS EXCEPT THEY ARE MUCH LARGER AND BECAUSE OF THEIR WEIGHT, THEY CAN NOT FLY AWAY. ROUENS ARE A MULTI-PURPOSE DUCKS AND ARE GOOD FOR BOTH JUMBO SIZE GREENISH BLUE OR OFF WHITE EGGS AND ARE A LARGE MEAT DUCK . I HAVE THE LARGER STANDARD VERITY THAN GET LARGER AND BRIGHTER COLORED THAN THE PRODUCTION TYPE. I UNDERSTAND THEY ARE LEANER THAN PEKIN AND ARE THE MOST DESIRABLE TASTING OF ALL DUCKS. DUCKS ARE VERY SOCIAL BIRDS AND WILL IMPRINT VERY EASILY WITH OTHER BIRDS OR PETS.
WE HAVE ABOUT 70 ROUENS AND A COUPLE OF JUMBO WHITE SHOW QUALITY PEKINS IN THE YARD THAT SWIM TOGETHER DAILY, BUT OTHERWISE THE PEKINS STAY TO THEMSELVES. BOTH PEKINS ARE MALE (WE THINK), AND OUT OF OVER A HUNDRED AND FIFTY EGGS, I DID GET 2 GRAYISH BROWN AND 3 THAT LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE ON A TUXEDO THAT ARE PEKIN/ROUEN MIXED. I THINK THEY ARE PRETTIER THAN EITHER PEKIN OR ROUEN, BUT ARE NOT PURE BREED, SO I GAVE THEM AWAY, AS THEY WERE TOO GORGEOUS TO EAT.
DO NOT FALL FOR ADS THAT TELL YOU THE GIANT WHITE TURKEYS LIKE THEY SELL IN THE STORES WILL MATE NATURALLY, THEY HAVE TO BE A.I., I FELL FOR THAT LAST YEAR AND DID HATCH OUT A FEW, BUT THE MALES GROW TOO FAT TO MOUNT THE FEMALES BY THE TIME THEY ARE FERTILE AND OLD ENOUGH TO MATE.
THESE TURKEYS ARE VERY LARGE, MALES WILL RUN ABOUT 40 TO 60 POUNDS AND THE FEMALES 25 TO 35 POUNDS, AT MATURITY. I HAVE HATCHED DOZENS AND HAVE MORE IN MY INCUBATOR AND THE PROCESS IS CONTINUOUS. SO ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR STOCK ESTABLISHED, THEY WILL KEEP YOU SUPPLIED FOR YEARS TO COME. HOLLAND WHITES ARE ABOUT 30 PERCENT SMALLER THAN GIANT WHITES, BUT STILL HAVE BROAD BREASTS AND PLENTY OF WHITE MEAT. WHEN WE RAISED THE GIANT WHITES, THE LARGEST MALES WEIGHED ABOUT 80 POUNDS AND HAD TO BE LIFTED WITH A TRACTOR TO SLAUGHTER THEM AND WERE SO BIG, IT COULD NOT FIT INTO ANY HOME SIZE OVEN. ALSO, AT A YOUNGER AGE THEY WERE PRETTY BLAND, IF THE GW GROW TOO FAST THEY OFTEN DEVELOP LEG PROBLEMS DUE TO THEIR FAST GROWTH AND WEIGHT. ALSO HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN USE AN 80 POUND TURKEY.
ALL OF OUR POULTRY ARE FREE RANGE OVER 5 ACRES AND ARE FED A BALANCED LAYING PELLETS AND OYSTER SHELL TO INSURE HARD EGG SHELLS. WE ALSO GIVE OUR POULTRY FRESH GREENS AND SCRAPS FROM OUR 100% ORGANIC GARDEN AND FRUIT ORCHARD !
WE HAVE PURCHASED OUR BREEDING STOCK FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE U.S. SO WE HAVE NO INBRED BIRDS AND KEEP A DIVERSIFIED GENE POOL. OUR STOCK ARE NOT INBREEDS
I'LL ALSO BE LISTING MY 5 CHICKEN BREEDS, MORE TURKEY (WHEN I HATCH A FEW MORE FOR MY OWN FLOCK, AND POSSIBLY SOME PEACOCK EGGS IN THE NEAR FUTURE, SO BE SURE TO CHECK BACK FOR THEIR LISTINGS.
I just had to let you know that out of the 10 eggs I bought from you and the 2 extra you sent, we hatched out 11 darling little ducklings. I am very impressed at your packaging and have never gotten
Black copper Marans start to lay, I want some. Also some easter eggers and some Australopes, you said you were raising.
Thanks again, you made my day,
