I wish you were closer! I have them on Craigslist for $5/ea and have gotten no replies yet

Ahh! I didn't know you were so close! I'm about 1+ hrs away and I'd so be there right now to steal them away...but I'm already expecting (if they ever come!

) Maybe I can talk DH into getting a few more but since we're first timers we want to see how our first 2 do. Maybe on another hatch.

I'll have more babies coming around the 1st. 2 clutches!
I would SO much rather find them good homes myself than take them to the auction.

i guess if i know the person buying is gonna eat them i can always bid & buy them back, lol.
Muscovies sell really well at auction here... riduculously well.
there was about 30 that came through last weekend and the hens sold for $15-$18/ea and the drakes for $28-$35/ea

there's a few restraunt owners that come through and buy LOADS of eggs, roosters and Muscovies(when they come through). 1 talked to 1 lady that spent $660 on just roosters!!

there is also a guy that buys them for clients that live on lakes, he usually goes for the crested and 'prettier' ducks though.

I can't believe you don't have any takers yet, Bleenie! My Pekins are flying out of here. I have a man that just drove 2 hours for a Pekin DRAKE!!! He should be here in about 5 minutes. Now I'm going to see if I can convince him to buy some more. I can't wait to have Muscovy babies!!!

 

[Bleenie]

im pretty astonished too. theres other people aroudn here selling 2 month olds for $15 and theyre selling fast. There's 1 person that wanted me to call when i had some but he plans to eat them so i am TRYING to hold out for a 'pet' home.

 

[TennesseeTruly]

Well if I was independently wealthy, I'd jump in my private jet and come get 'em!!

I'd love to have Bleenie babies. LOL

And FYI..the man not only bought the drake but two ducks too.

Getting rich $3 and $5 at a time. ROFL!!

It must have been hard to decide between them all- but I think you have chosen the nicer colours- ( sorry to those who didnt manage to hatch the more interesting shades and patterns- ) They are all very cute though. And I hope you do manage to find them a pet home.

I have not seen any nice Blue Fawns and no Lilacs around here & Kahlua did so good on making some cuties

Of course i had to keep the little blak baby since i only have a couple black pied hens that i really like.
