Definitely I am also trying to sell off all young Drakes and it's proving to be fruitless....Soon I'll be giving them away and still stuck with too many Drakes...
He's so cute. And he's a duck. Bonus.
I'm looking for at least one young call duck drake, I know a lady who breeds them. I've been getting ducklings from her this breeding season. That's how I got my Black East Indies Drake, Ludo, He's excellent quality and is absolutely tiny. I thought that BEI's were more around mallard size, but he's really no bigger than my call duck hens.Definitely I am also trying to sell off all young Drakes and it's proving to be fruitless..
These are really cool pictures!
You will still be able to tell and post some pictures! They get all brownish or yellowish staining to their feathers. And look pretty raggedy. They don’t look sleek when they are molting. Post some pics when it happens!! I want to see them. I love chubber wubbers. So does @Julie Birb!
Im sure he is happy to oblige.And I won’t get any more pics of the drake from my initial post here, unless his new owner sends me some.
He was a typical hormonal drake and was being too rough on my youngsters. I have too many drakes as it is, so some have to go. He went first. But he went to a nice prior customer of mine that will use him for breeding, so he should be more than happy in his new home.
What a nice mutual relationship you have! That’s great to have those nice people near you.I didn’t take any money from this guy, but he did buy ducklings from me earlier this year, and I bought quail eggs from him a few years ago, and he is also breeding Snowy call ducks, so I hope to get some of those eggs from him.
Loving all of this!
My new babies! Drake is juuuuuuust getting his whiskers, bars, and sails back . Yay!
Thanks! I designed the aviary to disguise as a grape arbor to compromise with my husband (he didn't want MORE ducks!). But after seeing them in full glory, he is quite pleased with his breakfast with a view.
