Ducklings

[Lourdie]

Do I need a partner for my duckling, if they have 4 other chicks for them.

I think you need to read this,

Thanks, I’ll reconsider

 

[Lourdie]

Hi, do you recommend getting another duck of the same breed, or can it be any duck ?

 

[Miss Lydia]

What breed is your duckling?

 

[Lourdie]

She’s a Rouen

 

[Lourdie]

She has a crooked beak due to genetics

 

[Miss Lydia]

I was asking because it would be best to get at least a duckling that would be close to her in size unless you know your duckling is a female. You don’t want a heavy Rouen drake mating with a small duck.

 

[Lourdie]

Yeah she’s a female, but she’s going to be big, I was thinking of getting a Cayuga duck

 

[Miss Lydia]

That would be a nice choice.
