I live in Santa Rosa, CA and am new to this forum! I started on the chicken section but low, there is a duck section too! This is my second time having ducks, and this time I have: 1 Cayuga, 1 Welsh Harlequin, 2 Buffs and a Golden 300 Hybrid Layer. They are all 2.5 weeks old now! I forgot how fast they grow! The first round of ducks I had were Black Runners and Khaki Campbells. We bought them unsexed from the feed store and ended up with all drakes! What luck is that? These new girls we ordered directly from Metzer Farms and that was very easy. We ahem,... ate the drakes. They were fighting so bad with one another, no one wanted males and we didn't want to see them waste away at the feed store waiting for someone to buy them after being raised free range and fancy free. I'm hoping to not have to worry about doing that again.
