Duck Breed Focus - Black East Indie

[Duck Joe]

Most likely poor quality stock anyway, save yourself some money and ask around your area and see if anyone is selling them.

Ok, thank you.

Are Black East Indies friendly?

"Friendly" is something that is to be taught or learned when young, plenty of time spent with them when young will most likely make them bond with you. If you buy adults, plenty of treats will make them start to follow you in no time at all, walk slowly around them, speak with a cal voice. In my experience, BIE are a somewhat shy breed.

If you want friendly it helps a bunch if you hatch them yourself

The duckling with that yellow bib is a BEI? Does the bib just completely disappear when they get older? One of ours is just a touch yellow on the chest, and that really surprised me, but it's nothing compared to the duckling shown here!
