Buff ducks lifespan?

[lynelberryhill]

My daughter is planning to get some ducks. As with her chickens they will be spoiled and loved like family. I’m hoping to find how long people have had their Buff ducks as we are hoping for a decently long lifespan. thanks

I can’t say for Buffs specifically, but many ducks can live to be 10+ years old with proper care. My eldest right now is 6 years

By the way, male ducks cannot safely live with chickens (in case you planned on getting them!) Females are okay, though.

I have 2 Buffs that turned 8 yrs this past April still going strong and even lay eggs still
