This is probably unfair since I live in Oregon about half an hour from Holderread's, but they are the best. http://holderreadfarm.com/ Dave Holderread wrote the book on ducks and they are lovely people.

I agree; it's what someone will pay. I checked the Holderread website again, and for adult white runners they charge $100 for show quality and $150 for top show quality; that is per bird. It seems to be geographic; I know the magpies here would go for a good price. I would buy them myself if...

What do you put in your nest boxes? We just got some, and my choices are straw and pine shavings. So far, my ducks prefer goat poop but I am trying to reform them.

We live in two places, so my ducks are alone during my four-day work week. We have a secure pen with an automatic waterer, so I leave them lots of food and lock them in. On weekends I let them out and don't feed them very much so they have to forage. So far it works well and we have thirteen...

I know two people who have Muscovies and another breed. One has Muscovies and Pekins; the other has Muscovies and Indian Runners. In both cases the ducks do not interbreed. I have one Muscovy drake and two hens (and thirteen ducklings). I had a Cayuga drake and the females were not...

I really don't have a good answer, but I had to write and say that you have very beautiful ducks! I suppose you know that Holderreads sells their grown show quality runners for $50 to $100, and their elite show quality for more ("call for price"). Of course, they are Holderreads, and currently...

Someday I will get black runners, but we are so new to this we need a little seasoning before we branch out! I read that ducks are messy, but with our four ducks there is not much mess except a lot of water around the water dish. Are Muscovies neater, or is it just that we have a lot of room...

This is great information! We have only had our Muscovies about five weeks, and one hen is sitting on 15 eggs; she has been on them for about 10 days. I am a first-time duck owner and have never had ducklings. We have a drake, another hen, and a Cayuga drake. I am hoping to just leave the...

I don't breed my goats at all. They are all female; one is old and two are young. I don't have the energy at this point to deal with babies. The nubian is going to a new home because she is just too energetic for us. The pygmies are always the sweeties.

Anybody interested in a Cayuga drake? I have three Muscovies (two ducks and a drake, and soon to be six), 17 Muscovy eggs, and one Cayuga drake who would really like a duck or two. I think my best bet is to sell him rather than try to get Cayuga females. I can bring him to the Chickenstock...
