Hey Everyone!
I am just curious if you could add any new breed (Duck that is) to your flock, what would it be? I am going to add some new stock this year and am a little undecided as to what.
I like so many breeds it is hard to pick. I also worry about being able to sell the ducklings/eggs. I had a Dutch Hookbill that Holderread's gave us with our order a couple years ago and she was *so* sweet. It seems like the Hookbills have just never caught on though, so I worry about not being able to sell them. I would love some Saxonys too, but they may be a little too big since I have limited space. What about Welsh Harlequins? Anconas (had them before too)?
Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts and breeds that people are really interested in and would be marketable once they reproduce. I already have most of the bantam breeds, so I am more interested in full size ducks.
TIA!
