does nobody else keep these ducks?

I don't keep them myself, but there were a few of them at the local fair this year. They are absolutely gorgeous ducks.

I suspect that they are difficult birds for beginners, because nobody will ship bantams. That means if you want them, you must search to find a local breeder.

Ahh thats interesting, thank you.I'm in the UK so not familiar with US shipping, I have found very little online about the breed. and had soo much trouble sourcing and getting my eggs to hatch! in the end I've tried 14 eggs to get my one boy ducky!
