Orpington (Buff)-319

I have a Buff Orpington duck named Pequito and he is just absolutely cute and really fun. I feed him lots of things and he loved everything except pickles.

I have a pair of Buff Orpington's. We started with five ducklings and unfortunately, after the raccoon and coyote problems were taken care of I had two left. A male and a female, they are both quiet, the male is large-bodied and has beautiful darker coloring. While the female is smaller and lighter colored and lays an egg nearly every day if not every other. She is very shy and hangs behind the male. They are very hardy and I am greatly impressed how much they truly love water. I had never had ducks before I bought these ducklings so this is still very new. But I think for my first-time experience this was the perfect type of duck for my family.

I got my first buff trio in June of 2015, along with 3 other breeds of ducks. I have loved our buffs and I have to say are my overall favorite breed of duck so far. Our three buffs were Caspian,(Who we no longer have), Stacy,( She sadly passed away this summer), and Dory,(Who is still alive and well). Dory was able to hatch two batches of duckling this year, the first batch was four and the second was five. I highly recommend them for anyone who loves ducks!
