White Golden Layer Ducks
Are you looking for the ultimate egg producing duck? The
White Golden Layer Duck is the bird that was specifically designed to be highest value egg laying breed. It was originally bred by John Metzer, a California farmer who sought to create best egg operation birds for his numerous customers. It is primarily based on the
Khaki Campbell, which offers the best egg output of all the standard duck breeds. However, with the superior feed conversion and more relaxed temperament of other breeds, the
White 300 Hybrid Layer Duck not only offers an extremely high production of eggs, but the best overall value for any egg producing operation.
These birds have the same laying characteristics as the
Golden 300 Hybrid Layer, except they have
white embryos rather than dark embryos. The
white embryos are important for anyone looking to produce
Balut Duck Eggs. Also, the
White Golden Layer has a much lower occurrence of blue/green eggs (about .1%) versus the
Golden 300 Hybrid Layer (about 8%).
Simply put,
Khaki Campbell hens are wonderful for relatively small egg production operations. However, in a larger commercial operation, the
Golden 300 Layer Offers some characteristics such as
larger eggs,
higher fertility rates, a
calmer temperament, and a
faster rate to maturity.
Hatching Duck Egg Info
To ensure your own
duck eggs hatching an incubator is required. These are available at a wide range of websites and also at local farm supply stores. To hatch fertile duck eggs, it is of primary importance that you follow the specific instructions that come with the incubator you are using. We can provide basic instruction for
hatching duck eggs, but it is best to use the instructions for
hatching ducks that will come with the incubator you have purchased.
Fertile Duck Eggs can be safely transported for about 10 days before they will no longer hatchable. We guarantee fertility in at least 80% of the hatching duck eggs that we ship for your order, and we recommend you candle the duck eggs in the first few weeks of incubation to check for fertility. Though we cannot guarantee that any or all of the fertile duck eggs will actually hatch, we will give you a refund for any hatching eggs that appear infertile if it is more than 20% of the total eggs received. It is imperative that you report the infertile hatching eggs within the first two weeks in order for us to process any refund.
