Haha its alright, I actually understand. But to me the lady who gave them to me didn't really seem to understand 'techincality' of it all, and didn't have time to sit around and chat - and I was just grateful for some eggs for my broody hen. Runners were a bonus

I live in a small town also, and any other breed of duck other than muscovy is pretty hard to get

I gave them away, not sell them, to a friend as I'm not too comfortable selling ducklings that aren't really my own, sort of unkown colours and only a promise of the breed.
They all went to a very green pasture full of snails and bugs to eat up, with a loving family

(win for me, I'd rather know they go somewhere good no matter the duck)
I'd love to actually start my own line of breeding but in the future when I get time. Also if you happen to know any duck with gold specks, please let me know

Really looking forward though to seeing what he turns out like, going to take heaps of photos!!! (I'm hoping its a girl, but don't want to jinx it!)
Thanks guys!

Do you know Ducky on here...shes from Australia and she has Beautiful ducks...maybe buy a few runners from her to start your little flock up and running....I wish I lived over there then I could get some of Duckys duck

Thanks Lydia!

And I do know ducky

except she's on the other side of Australia.. hehe
and when I mean other side, I mean I'm on the very western side and she's on the very easten side

Convenient... not

Maybe one day try some fertalised hatching eggs

They are beautiful babies. Mocha is going to be a very spoilt baby by the looks of things.

Im happy to get some eggs to you when the time suits us both. I know posting eggs to the west is difficult- but maybe I can arrange something other than Australia Post. I think I have sent eggs to every other state so far so it would be nice to get some of my duckies over there as well. My employer has a branch office over there...Maybe I can speak to one of the guys when they are traveling to take some in hand luggage. At least it would get most of the way in better condition than posted.

I even feel kind of isolated here!! I am a member of a local poultry club- but only one other member keeps ducks. I know a few people who have 1-2 in the back yard and keep in contact with those who have bought from me...But I dont have a lot of duckie people around here.

That would be great

would love to be able to get some of your eggs in the future, you have beautiful ducks! I know what you mean by isolated, theres a lot of farming around my town so alot of poultry but yet to meet someone as into ducks as I am, most really only keep ducks for domestic reasons... and then when you hear about all the duckmad people here and all the duck hatcheries... it kinda blows you away

Mocha is such a beautiful baby. I'm so jealous, just kidding I'm happy for you. I going to get me some runners in the spring along with some other breeds. Keep posting pics. as mocha grows.
