@waretrop Do you raise the birds for resale or do you eat them or sell eggs or just enjoy them? They are certainly eye-candy!

We raise them for resale. We sell them locally and at our club "tail"gate sales.....They are to expensive for them to be mouth-candy....

I thought that might be the case! Do you ever sell hatching eggs?

@frustratedearthmother No I never sold any eggs except my normal chicken eggs that are not fertile...Do you think you know of me????

@waretrop No, was just curious if that was another possible source of income for you. I've bought lots of hatching eggs (chicken) off of ebay and people will pay good money for the breeds they want. Just wondered if you'd ever tried it.

@frustratedearthmother No I don't produce that many chicks....12 or 20 of some.....I get the most our of my Serama chickens. I always save out the shortest ones and get rid of the tallest ones....

OK I'm totally just curious here. How expensive are they? Do you keep them in housing similar to chickens? I don't know much about them other than they're gorgeous, lol!

Ooh I like Mandarin ducks! Wow you have a whole bunch! Very cool. I've never even heard of a Shelduck. Now I'm going to have to look them up!
