I have been second guessing the choice of getting a drake since I sent my order off to a local guy yesterday. I can ask to change it still but I am sure this guy is going to think I am nuts if i email him again. I think I am up to 10 emails to order 4 ducklings. I wonder if I am being overly...
I did the logical thing, I ordered four. 3 ducks and 1 drake It seems logical to me anyway. Now I can over overthink and over analyze the brooder and the coop!
I am a Director of Purchasing at my job so I analyze everything to death. I drive my wife nuts but I finally got her to say "Just get the dang ducks already and please just stop talking about"
I have a decent fenced in back yard, I would say 125 ft by 50 ft. certainly not huge but big enough for them to have some freedom. My larger concern was is two ducks enough for one drake? Are Welsh harlequins drakes hard on the females? They are going to be pets, I want a few eggs and maybe some...
I really only have enough room for few ducks so initially I was considering getting 6 ducks from Metzers but thought if I could get fewer, say 3 it might be a better way for me to start.
I found someone fairly close to me that can sell me Welsh Harlequin ducks so I thought I would get 2 females...
