Looking for some Pond Ducks in North Texas!

[3lazyg]

Hi guys!
I'm new to this forum....
I live in Rhome, TX and we have a small ranch with several ponds and love to keep ducks and geese for a hobby.
I'm needing several more females for my flock (I only have one male and one female (Mallard).

- FORTUNATELY he's
not aggressive!!!! I still need to remedy the situations.
They have been predator / dog safe at my place for 5+ years. We just haven't had good luck with offspring!
Look forward to getting to know some of you all and thanks in advance!

I've tried a bunch of breeds on my ponds, but the only ducks to survive are the mallards. Most likely because they can fly. So if you're looking for more, I'd stick to mallard and/or muscovy.

Haven't had much luck with the parents hatching babies either. As soon as there are eggs in a nest, some critter eats them. So I keep an eye out for the nests, steal the eggs myself, and hatch them in the incubator.
