HI YA TAS,
LOOKING FOR WILLING VOLUNTEERS TO TAKE ON THESE 4 LOVELY CAYUGA DUCK EGGS  LAID BY A STUNNING PETROL GREEN AND BLACK CAYUGA DUCK RUNNING WITH A WHITE INDIAN RUNNER.
MAY SEEM AN ODD CROSS BUT WOULD BE FASCINATING TO SEE THE RESULTING DUCKLINGS. HE  COVERS HER SO ASSUMING THEY'RE FERTILE (CHECKED NOW AND THEY'RE DEFINITELY FERTILE) MORE AVAILABLE IF NECESSARY (LAYS ALMOST DAILY). IDEALLY TO ADD TO A BATCH OF EGGS  YOURE HATCHING ANYWAY. £1 EACH. CAN DELIVER ANGUS, TAYSIDE, PERTHSHIRE.

Hi Ya TAS

Quick update. The white Indian runner drake bred successfully with the Cayuga duck. Enclosed a pic of the black bibbed semi upright duckling. Fertility rate was good but hatch rate approx 1/3. Will be interesting to see how they grow to maturity. Hope the pic uploads.
