I got the mess pecked out of me today trying to reach under a BROODY DEL pullet She reeeeeeeally wanted to keep those eggs! My red knuckles prooved it

BROODY DEL! Sounds good for me! (in the future of course)

Yep I will defiantely be making sure you get some of Miss Bossy's eggs.

Yes please! Of course I'll get em and encourage it, and they'll probably tell me to stick the idea in the vent and go on

The Del's seem to love to try to go broody, but they are also easy to break. I don't think you'll have any problems getting them to set.

I know Im counting down the days But we need to play it by ear on the turks because we are due to get out April 30th but either way I would still be interested in getting turk eggs myself. But February should yield inclement weather, so we may get pushed back just in time to do turkeys.

Yep, we'll just see how it goes. Big Tom has been flirting a lot with his lady lately We may start getting eggs sooner than i thought

I would say its possible, because the Ducks are exhibiting their Spring mating behavior much earlier than last year.

Yeah I've noticed that too. I hope I don't have a boatload of broodies again at the same time this year!!! I had TOO MANY ducks last year!! I did sell a bunch though, so it may not be too bad, but still....that was A LOT of ducks

Tell me about it I ended up with 16 at one broody and that was when we planned on meaties. So we kept them ud and we FINALLY sold them/ Now Im just going to sell them as babies.

Yeah that's what I did. I kept 5 and sold 18 I think it was. They were so cute, but I did NOT want that many! Not a single egg failed to hatch! Those mommas meant business!!!
