So yesterday I got four Cayuga ducklings!
They were $15 each.
I’ll have to check that they’re all alive and well this morning. The brooder temperature was around 25C the last time I checked them, and they were under the heat lamp.
That’s a smart idea! I’ll look into making a fairly large/medium one as depending on the hatch this year, and if I do end up bringing in some more ducklings. Thanks
I’d also prefer to get them at a few weeks old, as young ducklings never seem to survive even under a heat lamp. I’ve lost so many Muscovy ducklings this year already.
When I was younger I’d always look on some hatcheries in the US. Such a large range of breeds, that are so cheap. They’re aren’t any hatcheries in Australia that focus on ducks, they’re aren’t even many chook ones. Also, you can’t buy eggs from EBay here soooo... There is a person I know who has...
Agreed. Although I did get a pair of Brown Chinese Geese yesterday, spent money I have been saving up. They were $400. Great birds from Peel Ridge Stud that I’m looking forward to showing, and getting some goslings from.
Yes ducks are very expensive.
My Mallard Aussie Calls were $200 for the pair (I got them as adults), and they aren’t the best birds and the drake has a few faults, and both the drake and the duck could have a larger head, smaller body, smaller bills, and centre eyes. The duck went alright in...
So, I was just looking on farmstock to see if there were any ads for muscovies, Calls or mallards near by but I found some Cayuga ducklings. I have to say that I’m tempted to get them, but I’ll have to check if I’m allowed too. If I do get in contact with the person I’ll see if they can send...
