Selling Ducks

[Teckus]

Ive had 3 ducks for about 18 weeks now and we moved so its hard to find places for them to stay during the harsh winters, i was wondering how much i should ask for my ducks. One is a male cayuga, 1 female blue swedish, and 1 female blue indian runner.

Where are they now? They def need protection from the elements a predators. I’d ask 10.00 each. Wish we were closer I’d take the lil Runner. Have you been on the Wisconsin thread someone on there maybe interested. “Where am I where are you”

We have moved to iowa now, but we are keeping them in a heated shed at the moment until it starts warming up again

$15 to $20 a piece is generally the price.

Profit wont happen and the point of asking a price is to hopefully deter people getting ducks impulsively

Free animals have a better chance of a bad home or being eaten for supper

Animals priced accordingly usualy get better homes altho when you sell trios you can almost gaurentee the male wont be kept long. People looking for adult female ducks are looking becaise they have too many drakes

ide say 15$ for the hens and they come witj the drake for free

Yeah I know profit is out of the question but the people buying them have a lot of ducks and chickens and want my ducks specifically for looking very pretty. Thank you all for the suggestions though.

x2 perfect customers!

I just almost took in a mallard drake because his owner COULD NOT keep him any more. He lives in the crowded city and his backyard is just a patio. He made it work for a very long time by hosing it off frequently but when he lost his flock except his one mallard drake from a predator attack, he knew it would be best to rehome the last guy instead of building up a new flock in the conditions.
He wouldn't let anyone take his drake because everyone seemed sketchy as if they only had dinner plans so of course Krista was just like hmm, I'll take this duck before I let someone get him. Luckily the guy realized he was better off holding onto the duck a bit longer to find a flock looking for a pretty boy.
