?'s I have 2 boy/3 girl campbell ducks is this ok? $10 adult ok price?

I got 5 campbell ducklings from Rural King (Cackle hatchery). 2 are boys and 3 are girls. 10 weeks old. Is this ratio ok or should I get more girls. I saw on craigslist someone has juvenile/adults for $10. Is that a good price and how many girls should I get. They also have WH should I get one of those to be a broody mother or do cambells sit well?

I would get more girls... at least one more.

Price is up to you, depending on how concerned you are about the ducks all reaching maturity at the same time. Considering the seller has been feeding these ducks for weeks now, I'm sure $10 seems fair to them hehe

I would get at least 7 more girls if you are going to keep all three of the drakes because 1 drake to 3 hens is about what it takes to keep your hens from being overbreed unless you decide to get one more girl and pair them off all in their own pens.

Thanks, I guess I will be getting a few more girls while I have the chance.
