I have 4 ducklings left. Local only please, I don't have experience shipping. The origin of these is somewhat mysterious as we have multiple potential mothers but they are all grey with yellow bellies. One is crested, so all should be treated as if they have the crested gene (do not breed to...
Hello. My year and a half old KC has decided to go broody. This is the third time she's done this recently, and I have decided to let her hatch out some babies. The thing is, my drake is pretty young, and just got his drake feathers a month ago. His sister is not quite laying yet. There...
I have a KC hen who constantly goes broody. She will make her little nest under some tarps in the duck house, and happily sit on 10+ eggs indefinitely. I don't have a drake, so there's very little chance of any ducklings, but she always gets so upset when I finally get the heart to clear out...

I am interested in breeding light brahmas for show and a bit of profit (selling culls for pet quality). I had one of these hens as a child, and I love the breed for their hardiness, size, and calm personalities.
I have had a hard time finding information about the different lines of light and...
