Poultry Yard Guide to Pekin Ducks and Market Breeds
The author argues for Pekin ducks as the top market choice, noting Pekins lay heavily from February to July and can yield many eggs with good feeding and housing. He advises a three-to-five duck to one drake pairing, and emphasizes spacious runs, attached houses, and controlled mating to improve fertilization and vigor. Ducks forego ponds for success, thriving on careful diet and ample drinkable water.
How to raise Pekin ducks for eggs and hatchlings
The excerpt explains daily duck egg laying between six and nine in the morning and the need to gather eggs promptly. It notes duck eggs hatch well but require one week longer than hen eggs, about one month to incubate before hatching. It praises the Pekin duck as vigorous if kept in warm dry quarters and given liberal feeding for a week or ten days, after which the trouble ends.
Early Broilers Incubators and Market Timing For Hatching
Start incubators now as three weeks are needed for chicks to hatch. By January prices rise. first broilers average over a pound and may fetch up to seventy five cents. Most arrive between one and a half pounds, only two pounds plus broilers are desired after April. Dressing chicks aids cold weather shipping and reduces losses, though labor is high. Cross Plymouth rock or Wyandotte with Brahma hens for best broilers, Leghorn crosses need careful handling, and early seasons may pair large bantams with common hens for first hatch.
