You understand eBay’s shipping and handling time does not apply to my farm business and/or hatching eggs. If you have not asked me to hold for pick up, your package will be sent straight to your address. If you forget, you can always send me a message via ebay. I will no longer reach out to anyone for the phone number. If you want your package held for pick up, please leave your phone number on the "note to seller" during checkout and it will be done for you. If you can't pick up your eggs from the post office, consider sourcing them locally. Clients who follow this best practice are far more successful than those who have their package sent straight home. You should ALWAYS elect to pick up your eggs from the post office versus having them shipped to your door. That is the only way! Please do your research before making false claims out of ignorance. The only way to check for fertility is to crack one of the eggs to locate the bullseye (the blastocyst). Eggs must be kept under the right condition in order to fertilize (It is always a good idea to check your incubator for cold spots periodically). Just because the embryo fails to develop, it does not mean the egg was not fertile. Please take the time to educate yourself about fertile chicken eggs. If air cells become damaged, embryo development is doomed. It is recommended that shipped eggs rest for 12 hours to allow shook up air cells a chance to settle and possibly reattach. You should candle the eggs upon arrival to inspect the air sac cells. You understand that eggs may not develop due to factors outside my control. You may have 0% -100% hatch rate from the eggs you receive from me. All sales are finalįirst and foremost, there are no refunds, no returns, no replacements on any hatching egg orders, FOR ANY REASON, whatsoever. Please read up on our farm policies before purchasing. If I cannot fill your order due to broodiness, molt, heat, or any other factor that affects laying, I will contact you and cancel your order, issuing a full refund. Just like us, they have good days and bad days as well. Please note we cannot predict when our hens want to take a break. Only male offspring will carry the sex-linked recessive chocolate gene.” (Holderread 1985, 4). A black drake mated to a chocolate duck produces all black offspring. If a chocolate drake mates with a black duck, all female offspring will be chocolate, while all male offspring will be black. Interesting fact about the chocolate is “Chocolate is a sex-linked recessive trait. Please note, I do not separate my Anconas by color.įrom the eggs you get from me, you may hatch chocolate, black, silver, lavender, and blue. Sometimes, I get some that is closer to the teal blue color. I have layers that put out white, cream, and blue-greenish eggs. I do support some of the proposed standards that is to steer away from heavily colored patterns. With her line, I hatched a few heavily colored ones versus the lightly colored I got from Al Qualquerys, so there was quite a bit of work and culling I had to do to get what I have today. A year later, I hatched eggs from Mantahala-farm (Nancy). My first Anconas hatched from several eggs I purchased from Allison Party (Al Qualquery) back when I first started with Anconas. Those are sold early or raised for harvest. I currently keep one crested female duck. The crested gene is linked to a lethal condition during incubation. Other present genes include tricolor and crested. My entire flock of Anconas consist of all colors, except white and tricolor, though we occasionally still hatch white due to a recessive gene present in the bloodline we have. Ancona’s current Livestock conservancy status is “Watch.” You can learn more in depth information about Ancona ducks here They love to forage and mate in the pond. They typically lay about 280 eggs a year. From my personal experience, I can tell you they are a phenomenal breed.
