I have a trio of ducks available if anyone's interested.

I have a drake and two hens available, they are egg laying age and fully grown.
The buff orpington female is over a year old and lays blue eggs, the saxony/buff female is only four months old and she is already a big un!
The drake is a buff orpington, and he is from the same batch as the female who lays blue eggs.

I'm asking 15 per duck, and 10 for the drake, but I will also consider trading, just pm me to make your offer.
All females have the potential to lay blue eggs and the male will most likely father blue eggers.

I did see your thread about them! I was actually going to get ducks next year and I was going to get two buffs. I'm not ready for any now though.

I would recommend more than two. They're a lovely choice, I really liked mine, super personable and a great utility breed.

I was going to get 2 Welshies and 2 Buffs.

Any drakes?

I also raise welshies. They're my fave.

I'm planning on not getting any, but I'll be ordering from a hatchery so I may accidentally get one. I was planning to free range them with our chickens.

Ohhhh, okay. I was thinking you were just going to get a drake and a hen
Accidental drakes are not very common in the duck world. It happens but ducks are significantly easier to sex than chickens, so it's a rare thing.

If you do get an accidental welsh drake you may have a problem on your hands tho, they have very high libido and may harass your chickens, mine never have, but it can be a fatal problem.
If that happens let me know, I may be willing to trade you for a hen if I am able.

Nothing bad here. Rain (thank you) and so e wind but that was it. Storms were a no show (thank you).

I wouldn't only get 2 ducks.
I'll let you know if I get a drake! What would you plan on doing with him?

I would most likely keep him for breeding. Especially if he's a metzer drake, they have some of the better drakes. Cackle has a few decent welshies too, but I've seen a few uglies
My current drake is related to all my hens, and I would rather use an unrelated drake for breeding. And after I hatch some girls I'll need a new drake anyways, and I don't mind trading, that way you'd still have the amount of hens you originally wanted.
If he's butt ugly you may just want to re-home him to someone who wants a pet. I'm one of those people who eats the uglies
I've kept drake flocks in the past, they're fun, and quiet, but I just don't have the time for another one atm. Only my breeders are staying.
