Hello~
I was just wondering you guy's opinion on whether I should hatch or simply buy a duckling or two to raise indoors...
I don't know anywhere I could purchase hatching eggs in my area (there are probably a bunch, but I'm very new to the duck scene so I have no idea where to look, haha), so I'd either have to buy them online or drive out to a feed store and get some ducklings in the spring.
I've never hatched eggs before, nor have I ever owned any birds really, so it's all going to be new territory for me~
The time and devotion it's going to take to raise these ducklings is totally going to be worth it in the end, so basically all I want to know is if there would be any major differences in the bonding aspect whether I hatch them myself or purchase them.
I've decided on Pekins, so if that affects anything I should be aware of, please let me know~
Any help on deciding which I should go for and any extra duckling/duck raising information would be awesome c:
Also, I am absolutely insane and am more than willing to sacrifice my house to have duckies to snuggle with LOL
We're talking crate training and ducky diapers.
