Got woken up by mama duck making so much noise and went out to find her ducklings dead in the nest
I'm not completely sure what caused their death but I didn't see any injuries so that can be ruled out
Mama duck is going nuts right now looking for her babies
I feel like this could have been avoided even if I don't know what killed them

That really sucks, I'm sorry
Poor mama...
Is she a first time broody?

I'm not sure.
Last year either her or her sister went broody

Maybe if i wanted a registered flock, show prospects or amazing milkers. I dont really want either of those 3 though.

The price referenced was for Nigerian Dwarves. La Manchas are at the low end of that proce range too. Haven't even bothered looking at Cashmere or Saanans yet because I know they're gonna be even more

Oh I love Nigerian dwarves! Have you looked at any registered breeders yet? It's kidding season so some will sell some of their mature does for a better price

I had a hen kill her babies by accident once trying to go after a mouse in the dark that was in her nest

Those are some registered breeders. I ain't buying for a few years at the earliest so I can't do much digging apart from just what on the website.

There were no signs of injuries like I said so that's ruled out

I'm aware you are already looking at registered breeders. I was suggesting you talk to those breeders about yearlings or older, but since you won't be getting them for some time then there's not much of a point. Maybe do some networking at shows, if you're willing to go to said shows, so you'd be known in the community?

Ours didn't ether. just dead babies scattered in the nest and a very upset mama

There were no signs of injuries like I said so that's ruled out
