What should I order?

[Magnolia Ducks]

Ok I would like opinions. Everyone' input has been very helpful. Because I am being extremely indecisive I have decided to maybe get 3 different kinds of ducklings but I want opinions before I hit submit. Ok I can only get 3 ducklings and I wanted all females so I think I want a White Pekin, Blue Swedish and Welsh Harlequin. What do y'all think? Keep in mind I have 3 Indian Runner girls and a Mallard girl and drake. I figured size was good and they are all supposed to have a good temperament. Or should I just choose one kind and be done with it? I am pretty sure my dh is over this dilemma of mine. He told me to do some car shopping today instead of duck shopping. I have not done that yet. Ha!

Sounds good to me

Sounds like a perfect group

I like mix and matching too. i could never decide

It is too hard to decide, they are all awesome. Now I might add a Buff to the order. WTH is happening here?

it should be some interesting duck smut when your mallard drake tries to mate a Pekin. Our KC is having problems with that and just won't give it a rest. He had to go to jail Saturday.

Oh Lord there is no telling what all I am going to experience with Leonard. He is a hot mess but I love him!

Personally, I would swap out the Pekin for either a White Layer or a Khaki Campbell.

You know until your new babies are breeding age Leonard can only be around them through fencing.

yes maam, I am already working on putting a separation in the duck run. I will probably need it for drake jail anyway one day. For now when he is being too much I just stick him in the duck house but that won't work while the new ones are growing up. I will have them in the house with me until it is warm enough and they are big enough. See but don't touch, right? I am nervous about that I have to admit.

You’ll do fine I have 3 coming too which means I’ll have my Runner drake to watch. My Muscovy drake has never tried to mate youngins . We’ll all be in this together.

I will need your advice I am sure. Remind me when yours are coming? I am trying to get around the same time so I can learn while on similar time lines. I think I am going to check out Meyer Hatchery since it is not too far from me.

Hatch date is April 24 th .
