Broodie Ducks???????????????

[josh]

I have 2 male runner ducks. I want some females to go with them. But this is what I need info for. I want female ducks that will go broodie. I don't care if my babies are mixed or not. I just want some ducks on my pond that will reproduce and set their own eggs. What breed hens can I get to go with my male runners.

Runners will go broody - just not as likely as other breeds. I have all three of my breeders go broody late last year. The other runner females I currently have laying are not from breeding from- so I collect their eggs every day- but they have also shown broody tendancies as well.

Mallards are very reliable broodies, also Muscovy. Welsh Harlequin are fairly good at going broody.

KCs are great brooders, our Runners have always brooded. Good luck!

Muscovys, Mallards, Calls, Bantam ducks, most ducks have the potential to go broody if they want to

Ohh and Hi Tryst

Ive heard welsh harlequins can go broody and i have 2 females, so when they start laying im hoping they are the ones that go broody! c:
