At “We Talk to Our Eggs” we are blessed with Beautiful Purebred - Welsh Harlequin Ducks. We are a small Boutique Breeder of a select few rare breeds of poultry. The Harlequin is on the Endangered Species “watch” list only recently coming back from the critical list. All of our Poultry is bred to the APA standard of Perfection, or SOP. A couple of our rare/new breeds are not yet recognized by APA, but we are actively working with other breeders to make this happen. By carefully breeding selection and responsible culling we are producing show quality birds that maintain the breed’s temperament and expected production levels. Welsh Harlequin Ducks are dual purpose birds – laying 240-330“Extra-Large” eggs starting at 5-7 months & producing a lean meat. They are an estimated 4.5 to 6 lbs. at maturity & considered a “light-breed” (not near as large as Peking’s) making them ideal for small farms or urban residences that want to raise their own food sources. Our Breeding Flock is fed a high-quality non-medicated diet consisting of both organic and non-organic foods- including an Organic balanced feed ration & supplemented with fresh vegetables, fermented & sprouted grains. *HOWEVER - Medicated foods should be considered as ducklings & chicks are they are highly susceptible to infectious diseases like coccidiosis, which untreated can kill them in as little as 24 hours. We do start our own ducklings on medicated feed for their safety until 6 weeks old. We collect eggs three times a day, candle, and sort them and then package them all by hand; we don’t wash hatching eggs – Ever! Eggs have a protective coating called a bloom that works to keep out bacteria. Washing them removesthat. Once your eggs have arrived, carefully unpack them and CANDLE each one. If any of the eggs have hairline cracks, you can try melting candle wax and dripping it on to the crack to seal it or scotch tape works really well to and is a lot easier to do. This doesn’t always work, but we have saved many this way. Allow the shipped eggs to sit upright in an egg carton (large end up) for 24 hours at room temperature. We recommend incubating in a carton, fat end up – for at least the first 7 days if possible. * Why you ask – there is almost ALWAYS some air sac damage done in shipping – saddled, detached, bubbly – setting them upright in a carton allows the embryo to develop without the disruption of turning – THEY WILL NOT STICK TO THE SHELL – this is a myth. Should any egg develop a blood ring, begin to smell, or seep fluids remove it from the incubator immediately. We have personally begun experimenting with a “no turn” method on all our“shipped in” eggs and are seeing fabulous results so far. “YES” you can hatch eggs SAFELY without turning them. There are protocols to do this successfully,so do your research! (There is actually strong evidence & studies that indicate- turning any egg is damaging to the embryo) We only ship Monday - Wednesday weekly. This is to provide you with the fastest shipping with the least delays. Shipments are packaged in a professional way.When available we’ll send an extra egg or two just in case. We all know there are incidents with shipping eggs (damaged or broken) – your parcel will be insured for the cost of this auction – but it is your responsibility to file a claim if there is a problem, we cannot do that for you! You will be provided with a tracking number for your shipment – it is your responsibility to track your package and provide a phone number for us to put on your box –hopefully your PO will hold and call you on arrival. NOTICE: Because of our SAFE shipping practices, you could end up on a short wait list, you will be notified if we have missed stopping an auction fast enough to avoid this –however, you will be on a VERY SHORT running list that is filled as the eggs are available. First purchased, first shipped bases. Occasionally, you will have to wait for a shipment to be sent till the following Monday or Tuesday. We try to stay on top of this to prevent any delays for you our customer, we knowhatches take planning and shipping dates are important. WE WILL CONTACT YOU IF THIS HAPPENS – as soon as we know, you will know! Disclaimer: Hatching shipped eggs is always a gamble as there are so many variables that can affect their viability such as: rough handling during shipping, x-ray machines, changes in air pressure, exposure to extreme temperatures, etc. There are NO refunds will be given on fertile eggs.
