I want a small quiet breed... I really only want one but will try to take a few if necessary...I love ducks but No one around me sells them...Can anyone help me out? Thank you! Jacob
Hi there! I just read, literally, on another site, that it is a bad idea to have just one duck as they are social animals and really need company. Three or four is the recommended minimum. I can't answer your direct question in the post. But I sure hope someone can help you! Peace to you.
There is only one quiet breed and thats the muscovy duck. I have 6 of them on a 1/3 acre city lot and nobody can hear them. Snce i have three females i expect ducky babies next year. I have a blue drake(i will slaughter 2 drakes)a blue duck, a lavender and a chocolate duck.
I duck is just no fun for you or the duck, they need company. I currently hae 3 adults and a duckling. If you were closer id offer, my mama is sitting on 15 eggs and i know i wont be able to keep them all. They are mallard ( father) Buff orp ( mama) cross. The one baby I do have from them is quite ( weird) but that might just be him, lol
I have no idea where that zip code you have posted as your location because it is in zip code form and not city/state but if you lived anywhere close to me I would give you a dozen FREE duck eggs if you wanted them and came to pick them up. I have 1 mallard hen and 2 Khaki Campbell hens and a Khaki Drake, a Peking Drake and a Black n White Magpie Drake. I guess there would be a 33% chance of pure Khaki Campbells. I hatched out 2 little ducklings about 3 weeks ago and have 7 more duck eggs under a broody hen that will hatch on the 11th of November. Jayare
