What do you charge?

i would make sure they have a living area setup for the ducks, have experience, know to feed duck feed (not chicken feed), have enough space for atleast a kiddie pool, can find LOVING AND SAFE homes for any extra drakes they end up with, and plan to keep them 10+ years not just until they want to eat them

Thanks everyone for the advice. Makes me want to keep them all

It depends on sex of the bird too. Obviously you can't expect every male to find a home outside of a roaster. You also can't expect to sell proven male's for the same price as proven females

yes you can expect all the males to find good homes, please don’t just send them to a place they’ll die because it’s easier

Maybe where you are, but here I struggle to give beautiful male's away even for meat because you need more females than males

bachelor/drake flocks are the best. if i ever get another flock (in a very long time, once mine all get old) i will be getting just drakes.

I guess batchlor flocks are okay for some pwople, but around here, they're either thought of as expensive decorations or just useless since they don't provide anything back for feed and you can't always handle male's without them turning aggressive

Personally i think selling them young is best because then you can just sell them straight run

Agree selling straight run.. but we had to wait until we knew a few were hens.
