I have only five ducks left after repeated visits by some unknown predator. Two are pure Welsh Harlequin girls (gold phase), and one is a silver drake. All three came directly from Holderreads and they're two years old. I've also got a pure mallard drake and a mallard/Harlequin drake. I fear that whatever is getting them will eventually take them all. I put them in a secure box at night but they still sometimes disappear in daylight.
For this plus other reasons, I'm thinking of quitting ducks for a while, but I do have to recoup some of my expenses. I see on Holderread's web site that he sells Harlequin adults for a minimum of $25 apiece, plus shipping. I wonder if anyone might be interested in my birds? I don't want to ship them, so it would have to be a pickup situation. I'm about an hour west of Asheville, NC.
I wonder what I should ask for the three pure Harlequins? Let me hear any suggestions, even if you're not interested in them yourself.
I haven't decided for sure to sell them, and I do have someone else that I might offer them too first. In the meantime I'll hear other offers. If you're interested, please let me know.
Oh - and if I do rehome my birds, l'll be giving away the mallard and hybrid for free, but only to a good home - they're not dinner.
