I've tried to raise chickens for the last two years with no luck. I decided I want to try ducks this time. I love ducks and my husband is especially fond of them while he didn't like the chickens so win/win. I was looking at maybe ordering an adult pair of Saxony ducks from Holderread. If not adults than maybe ducklings, but I'll have to wait until after we move for any ducklings. I was looking around my area and no one had any ducks that really caught my eye. I'm sure there will be more around Easter (
), but it seems the go to breeds for my area are all breeds I commonly see during Chick Days at TSC.
My other major interest is Runners, but I melted when I saw the Saxony pictures.
If I can still order an adult pair of Saxony ducks is that a good idea temperament-wise? I've had issues when buying adult animals before where they end up being very skittish and/or mean. Any other problems with ordering adult birds? I've never actually had birds shipped to me. I've always picked them up from the hatchery/breeder so this will be a new experience.
