Golden-300

One of the best duck breeds ever.
My Golden 300 "Flower" is the general of the flock. she sure is tough. The times I tried adding a drake to my all lady duck flock, she beat him up!

Let's all cheer and celebrate!!!!! The Wonderful and Beautiful Lady Thelma gifted me with 359 eggs in 365 days!!!!! She is 16 months old and quite the leader of the pack... she was and still is the smallest of the group and lays the largest eggs. She is a Golden 300 breed. Go, T, GO!!!
Her happiest days are after a good rain. That beauty loves MUD!!! I wish I had more than one of this breed and next year I will. She is sweet, calm, curious and loving. She sits next to me quietly waiting for treats. She also follows me around the yard and pastures. I have 5 ducks but she outshines them all. (2 Swedish Blues & 2 Cayuga--not good layers BTW)

I really love my Golden 300s. They come from the hatchery with slight variations in coloring which is nice in a flock. For example I have some with speckled feet, some with dark feet and some with light feet. Some of the girls have different markings in the feathers such as one having a little white star on her chest and another with a white ring on the front of her neck. All are good natured in personality. The egg laying of these girls is amazing. I had one that laid for almost a year straight. Easily over 300 eggs and I provide very little extra light.
