New Ducks

[shy]

So I was so sad because I lost four ducks a week ago. And I wasn't sure if I wanted to raise them from day one all over again. Although they are very cute, they are also very messy.

Then today I found an ad that someone local had several breeds of ducks for sale. I called him and he has some that are 2 and half months old. Perfect! I am so excited to go see them tomorrow. I want Khaki Campbells, but now I may be tempted to also get some others too.

Good Luck getting your ducks.

Show us the little guys once you get them. What other breeds does he have?

He has eight varieties. Khaki Campbells, Cayugas, Pekins, Blue Swedish, Muscovery, Mallards, Rouens, and Crested.

For sure I am going to get 2 Campbells for egg laying. I might get a muscovery, mallard and a blue swedish also. All depends on when I see them. Hopefully I don't get carried away. I told myself 2 minimum and 4 maximum. Let's see what I end up with.

I have a pair of blue swedish and I'm getting a pair of khakis! I think they'll look beautiful together.

Cool, ducks are awesome. Hope you enjoy them.

I got them. The campbells left were about 6 weeks old. I picked 4. Hopefully I will have at least one female out of those. I am a bit worried as they are all still "chirping" like new ducklings. All the other breeds were still very young. I just didn't want to do the whole housing inside for another six weeks.

They chowed down their food the second I put it out. They were with a huge pen full of ducks, geese, and chickens. So I can see how feed time would be a frenzy. They seem to like their new home.
