The Duck Thread

[Miss Lydia]

These are 7 week old buff and golden 300 ducks. I ordered all females and got them when they were 2 days old. The yellow ones are the buffs and the other goldens. The goldens have this white and blue coloring on their wing tips. Has anyone seen this on golden females before? I am wondering if I actually have all females as I wasn't expecting color like that.

Make me think of Rouens with the blue on their wings

They are adorable! I hav 4 golden 300's on order, I cant wait! yours are just precious. Im new here so I cant answer your question. I have been reading these threads for days hoping to come across someone else who has them to find out how its working out, but yours is the first post I have come across that has more than a passing reference to them. I also ordered straight run, so I dont know how many males or females I will get. they will be a surprise, Its better than Christmas!

I'm new to the whole backyard chickens/ducks thing. Today we got 8 baby chickies! I was wondering what ducks can provide and if they are a good idea to keep. Any Thoughts?

Great eggs, great meat, great fun and great messes
I have to add that I'm starting to prefer my ducks over my chickens for a lot of reasons, they're just different.

and a commitment of around 10-12 yrs if you keep them for pets.
