Breeding and selling Indian runner ducks

[Milldred]

I recently bought a white Indian runner duck and drake. They are currently ten days old but I was considering hatching some ducklings in the future to add to my flock but also to sell. I was wondering how much I would sell them for as fertilised eggs, day old chicks, 4-8 week old chicks and point of lay chicks, etc. (I'm in the UK). Also, what is the best age to sell them at? And how popular are they? I will probably also be getting a black or blue Indian runner to add to get a wider variety of coloured chicks rather than just white.

Thanks, any help would be great.

Welcome! You might look over at the Buy Sell Trade forum for some ideas also. I know five years ago here in the U.S. I paid 7 dollars each for sexed ducklings. These are pets, not show quality. Very healthy, though.

Thanks for the help. I was never planning for them to be showed so this is no issue, I just want to keep them as a hobby. They do make fantastic pets though.
