MO - Dutch Hookbills

by Ryder
(Missouri)

The breeding season for 2025 will be different this year. Due to my relocation, I am limited in the number of birds I can have. However, I am now offering the option to reserve my 2025 breeding stock. Every year, I replace my current flock with their offspring. I have two trio pens, which means all six birds may be available. However, I sometimes keep a hen or two for specific traits or plumage color. I've been working with this breed since 2018, and it's taken time, patience, and perseverance to establish a flock. I've experienced my share of challenges, including broken eggs, poor hatching rates, and uneven sex ratios. This year, however, all my birds have the proper hook and head shape. I'm looking for someone who shares my passion and respect for this breed to continue with my birds and establish their own flock. The birds will be shown in 2025, and I'll also have hatching eggs available. I recommend using a broody duck or hen to hatch the eggs, as it can significantly improve the hatching rate. This breed is notorious for poor hatching rates, so using a hen can be beneficial.

My Current breeding stock Consists of the following,
Drakes :
2 Dusky Drakes
Hens:
1 Choc dusky bib ( carrier for the white gene)
1 Dusky bib ( Carrier for the white gene)
1 Golden Aleutian ( possible white and Pied carrier gene)
1 Dusky hen

I do have a pair I am looking at from another breeder so there is a potential pair available for you to add to your 2025 season! To reserved a pair will require a deposit for holds
