***OKIES in the BYC III ***

As I understand it the breeder added the dark skin genetics in for sun protection. Since they are large fowl NN's I suspect they didn't want to add genetics that were that small (body size) that is why I suspect sumatra.

Hi everyone,

It has been a rough couple of days here. My Khaki Campbell duck was lost to predation yesterday morning, leaving just my Cayuga drake behind. This is kind of a long story, but here goes:

I got these ducks as unsexed ducklings in March 2012. In July 2012, I moved across country from Norman, Oklahoma to Portland, Oregon, and left my ducks with my parents in Oklahoma until I could figure out a way to get them home to me. Turns out, it's pretty difficult both logistically and legally to ship livestock birds across country. Unexpectedly, my parents are moving in June this year and can no longer care for the ducks, so I went in search of a suitable home for the pair. I found one, and we were in the middle of discussing the transition when this happened. Now, I have just a drake to rehome, and he obviously doesn't have much utility, especially now that my prolific layer he was attached to is no longer with us.

I don't want him to be alone for a long period of time, and since we still haven't figured out how the predator got into their coop, I'm worried about continuing housing him in it.

He's not a problem drake by any means; he's very friendly and spunky. He has only been around one other duck, the female we lost. I just want him to be integrated into a flock as soon as possible, for his own health and happiness.

My parents are located in Norman, Oklahoma.

If interested, let me know! I have also posted Craigslist ads and have a few people interested. I just want to make sure he goes to the best home possible.

Be very careful talking to those ladies running around in POOPS shirts! They will make you spend all your money on poultry you didn't even know you needed!!!

Glad you found us!!! Look forward to meeting you at POOPS!
