Incubating for first time?

[Welshies]

There are 0 purebred ducklings where I live. So I thought maybe I should just buy hatching eggs and try to hatch some myself. Even though I hate the thought of waiting a MONTH! Ugh!
And I don't even have an incubator right now!
Should I try for hatching eggs or maybe order some ducks in? Or just wait and keep an eye out?

If I were you and I wanted some pure bred ducks I would get a incubator and buy some eggs from a reliable source.

Kijiji is actually good...I buy and sell all my animals that way. Not Canadian ebay. Sorry you had no luck...

Best wishes.

Why be so sceptical? I have what I bought. No one ripped me off. Congrats! Go see the birds! Down here people sell pure and crosses.
Let me know what you found!?

I am skeptical because someone ripped me off with my first ducks. Said they were pure Rouens, and the parents were mixed breeds. :/
But! I found the CUTEST little ducklings ever, and I'm getting 8 of them. They're purebred Silver Appleyard and Welsh Harlequin. Picking them up on Sunday!

Although, @chickens really do you know what the differences are between Silver Appleyard and Welsh Harlequin ducklings?
