Saxony ducks?

[sparkles2307]

Does anyone know where to buy this breed? Ours we got from someone at the fair last summer...I need some but the hatcheries dont seem to carry Saxony breed.

Holderreads should have them.

Holderread and Nature's Hatchery both carry them, but you will probably have to wait till next season.

Edit to add: Holderread might have some adults for sale, but the shipping is $$$.

Thanks, maybe I will just prowl around for hatching eggs! I will check those places out tho!

I think your chances of finding Saxony eggs are nill. I have been looking for months.
I am getting Saxony ducklings from Holderreads next season.

I guess my best bet is to wait a coupdle more week till fair and see if the same breeder as last year has more? I should buy the whole box if she is there again!!!

I ordered some goose eggs from e-bay and they sent me saxony eggs instead! He let me keep them and sent my geese - so I hatched out 4. They are so pretty! 2 boys and 2 girls and they are a couple months old now. His ebay name is cjnvybean and I think he has an account here but doesn't post much.

Ducky they are beautful! I cannot wait to get mine.
I was focusing on Khaki Campbells but then my customers started wanting meat ducks and I don't want to have two flocks of ducks for meat and eggs so I decided to go with the Saxony for a dual purpose duck.

I'm selling my Saxony and the eggs the one duck is sitting on, but I'm in NC and I can't ship. A coyote has caught 3 of my saxony ducks and a few of my runners over the past few weeks.

I had 4 pair, and now I am down to 4 sax drakes and 1 sax duck. Too bad you don't live closer! The duck that is left has laid about 10 or so eggs this week, but she is sitting them right now. I don't think they'd hatch if I shipped right now, but someone in NC could pack them with a hot water bottle and then incubate them and probably get them to hatch. I'm offering them for free with the 5 Saxony.

If anyone is interested, PM me an offer. I can't deliver. Pics are on my website.

Aw thats a bummer! I wish we were closer! THe reason I want a new one is because of our dog killing my poor Sax on Monday

I have 6 saxony/rouen ducklings, those should be good dual purpose birds as well.
