    Seeking day old Aussie Spotted

    In the past I purchased Aussie Spotted from holdereads. I understand they have cut back and are no longer selling that breed. Does anyone know of a farm that sells the Aussie Spotted? Thanks.

    Night Light?

    I have 10 Australian Spotted ducks that are now 6 weeks old and living in thier house outside. I leave a light on at night since they haven't been without one thus far, and they seem a little afraid of the dark. Should I just remove the light and they'll get used to it? Thanks!
