Well I posted another thread about how I figured a way to keep all my girls and boys and still be allowed to have ducklings - and thats starting CKC mutts. My little duckie business with selling , trading, and rehoming ducks of all ages - but mostly my ducklings. I will have about 30 ducklings by july 25th from my two nests. Ive already got one lady interested in some , and the ones I dont keep I am selling.
Problem is - I dont want to upset my broodies. I have a buff who is an amazing mama and very protective. More than likely Im going to keep some of her really pretty white babies and then if I keep any more they will be from my magpie - I cant wait to see what colors I get!
So , depending on how many I keep around - should I split them between the moms or leave them with their original mom? Like I might only keep two from my buff butt five from my magpie. Im worried my buff might "borrow" some babies and im not sure how good a mom my magpie will be since this is her first nest.
