How old are your ducks?

[Daphne_loves_mealworms]

I can Google how long ducks live and come up with a dozen different answers. I’m looking for your real-life experiences. How old are your current ducks? How long did your past ducks live? I’ve got a young crew of 3. Daphne is 2 and 1/2 years old. The ‘Scovy siblings are 4 and 1/2 months old. I don’t plan to eat anyone or dispatch anyone prematurely (although my white Muscovy likes to test my patience sometimes). I’m hoping they stick around for a long time!

Well lets see my oldest so far was my Muscovy drake he was 1 month shy of 12 yrs when I lost him. I have another Muscovy who is 10 going on 11 next spring and 3 that are 7 and 1 that s 6yrs. My Runners and Buffs are just now 2.5 yrs old. I also have an 11 yr old gander. And believe me I have told him many time he belongs on the table. lol

They can be long lived. My Oldest Call Ducks are 5.5 years old and my youngest are 3 months old.
