The Duck Thread

Well you pretty much summed it up, if you get hatching eggs it's usually a 50/50 ratio or pretty close to it.  with ducklings you can order just what you want. :)

I know and I'm worried about that. What about if I ordered two eggs of the two breeds I wanted and then when I knew they were a couple days from hatching, I ordered one or two female ducklings so I knew I would more likely than not have more females than males?

My 7wk olds don't understand the concept of frozen water
What is this cold stuff keeping me from my water?!?

I'd order more than 1-2 females at least 4 females it is better to have more than not enough . Then if you get 2females 2 males out of the eggs that would be 6 females for 2 drakes. Much better odds there.

That's true, but that would end up being a lot of ducks to take care of haha.

Plus if you incubate them theyre most likely not all going to hatch but if you order them, u can choose how many you want, but i would probably prefer to incubate them, because its more fun and exciting, but its really only up to u!
 
Naw they are easy to care for. ;)

Haha maybe for you!
So what if I ordered and incubated 4 eggs, two from each breed I want (pekin and black Swedish) and then when they were close to hatching I ordered three female ducklings from each breed.
I would potentionally end up with 10 ducks

Your math is better than mine I had you with 8 you topped it with 10, we'll go with yours.
