I can get ducks!!

[Bridger Davis]

I'm sure most of you don't remember me, but last year I got super excited and happy thinking I was going to get ducks, but my parents said I couldn't. This year, I had nearly forgotten about ducks altogether, but when I brought it up, they said I could get them!!! (They also got me an ice cream cake) I'm just so excited and I had to share!!! I will be getting Cayuga and Pekin (2-3 of each breed not completely sure on how many I am getting yet..) and they will all be female. YAAAAAAY!!!!!!!! Oh and I was hoping to get magpie because of their prolific egg production, but no one carries them I'll need all the help I can get once I'm a duck dad, so brace yourselves!! BTW does anyone know how many eggs per year Cayuga and Pekin lay? Thanks so much!!!!

Where are you getting them from? Ideal has all three breeds. I have some of their Magpies and they are noisy little buggers, but cute cute cute. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

If you want eggs for eating, KC and runners would be better. For the first time since they started laying about 6 weeks in a row, our Pekin has layed three days in a row. Sometimes she takes off for two days. The K/c and Rouen lay almost every day

I was just recently thinking about the khaki cambell and I would be totally up for having three different breeds, so long as they got along... Would they? How about 2 of each, Pekin, Cayuga, and Khaki cambell or Rouen? Oh and is their anything that makes those two breeds different from the others? Thanks!!

But if you want a duck you can hold i would suggest a Pekin. khakis are very skittish but if you are lucky like i was my one Kaki bonded with me as a chick and he sits on my shoulder or head and walks around with me he comes when i call him and is very intelligent likes hanging out with me and my Pekin is the same.

Awwwwwww!! Omigosh thanks for the pictures I love them I would personally probably not worry about skittishness only because I know I will hold and coddle them so much the will have to love me LOL

What about Indian runners? They are so much fun and so funny to watch. They look like rolling bowling pins and they are great egg layers!
