really chuffed
« on: March 25, 2012, 10:33:59 pm »
I just candled the first batch of eggs from our Blue Swedish ducks and 12 out of 13 were fertile  ;D

We lost some of our best Blue Swedish to a fox attack last year so I'm really pleased that we will be getting some replacements if I manage to get the incubation right - please keep fingers crossed for me

My drake is a Swedish Blue (or so I was told when he was given to me as a replacement for their dog taking my old KC)  Could you post some photos of yours for me to compare as I need convincing of his parentage!  ;)
