Born Again Redneck's Daily Duh!: Go Ducks!

Go Ducks!

Fellow southwest Oregon blogger, Bob, recently lost his ducks to a probable dog attack. To replace them, he got twelve Campbell and six Cayuga eggs which he'll have to incubate. I know what Campbell ducks are. I think Bob used to have white Campbells but most Campbells are Khakis:

The Khaki Campbell was developed in England during the early 1900's by Adele Campbell. It was admitted to the American Standard in 1941. Though originally a cross of Indian Runner, Mallard, and Rouen, Campbells exceed all of these and most chicken breeds in egg production, with some strains averaging 300 eggs per year.

Sounds great. We've kept Indian Runners and Mallards and currently have a Runner and a Mallard that have become a couple. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will breed. However I am not familiar with Cayugas. So I looked them up. What a pretty duck:

From Fred Thompson's blog, Fred08 on November 26th, 2007:

More Praise for Fred’s Tax Relief Plan - Patrick Joubert Conlon at Born Again Redneck called the plan, “music to a businessman’s ears.”

C.D. Jewell,

Liberalstein,

"This blog interested me first because of the title. But the quality of Patrick Joubert Conlon's writing has kept me coming back. His style is not presumptuous or pompous or condescending; it's plain and simple. Good old American English. Which is funny because Mr. Conlon was born and lived in South Africa for his first twenty one years and after that spent eight years in England before finding his home here in the U. S. His blog provides a rare outsider/insider perspective on the U. S. of A. He's been linked to by CNN on a couple of occasions and one of his posts was cited by the official Fred08 website. He does a lot of politics but also some lighter fare as well. He frequently posts spectacular photos taken on his Oregon farm."
