Hello all! I am new here but need some advice on my flock.
I currently have 10 ducks ( 3 females, 7 males)
Yes I know the ratio is WAY off so looking to downsize for sure! 8 of those are babies from last spring that my mated pair had.
My dilemma is this….I want to keep the mated pair ( mom and dad) and obviously the two female babies but I would need to add some more females to the flock or get rid of ALL thr other males. Ideally I was thinking of keeping just 1-2 of the drake babies. Currently I have all 6 of the young drakes in duck jail and the 3 females and 1 older male out free roaming on our pond. Until I decide who goes and stays that’s what I have to do.
I also was considering maybe getting a few more females and then keep the 1-2 males…
Decisions, decisions!!
Thoughts???
