Australian Spotted Duck

[old goat]

Does anyone still raise them? Looking for a source for Hatching eggs/ or ducklings.

Go to search and type in Australian Spotted ducks it will bring up those that have them.

I know I'm late to the party but I have them and am hatching eggs right now (both incubator and broody ducks). I hope to have well started young birds available by the end of the summer for people who might be interested.

I have thought about getting into these along with my Black East Indies. I am still undecided.

They're an American breed developed early in the 20th century from mostly mallard with maybe some pintail genetics. They're classed as a bantam breed, come in three color forms (greenhead, bluehead, and silverhead), are friendly, quieter than calls, and make good mothers.

I have two ducklings in the brooder (greenheads, so they look a lot like mallards right now) and I'll try to post pix tonight.

Certainly need some pics.
