That's Superstition Mountain, just on the eastern edge of Phoenix.

It looks very beautiful there.

Yes more dux, and maybe a different drake. Not all WH are bad boys, but they're just known for that high libido.
My saxony ducks lay wayyyy too many eggs for me to eat. They're worth it, and they forage all. day. long. So feed intake won't be much more than WH feed.

Free ranging them would be great if you're planning on keeping a mixed flock.

So you think free ranging a mixed flock might be better suited to the Saxonys? I wouldn't mix breeds.

Yes. WH forage like crazy, but saxony are more chill and like to be lazy potatoes so they're a safer option for your chickens.
My whole saxony and buff flock eats one scoop of feed between them, they also have a run covered in perfectly trimmed grass. They maintain healthy weight and give lots of big eggs.
The WH are higher production so I give them more feed, they also destroyed my grass

Well that's wonderful. I wish DH would just trust me sometimes. There are literally no Saxonys anywhere. Except drake's. Lots and lots of drakes...

And one unsexed dayold at McMurray. FML

What about Duclair Ducks? They are not at all endangered so I was kind of drawn to the Saxony for that reason. But if they are literally sold out everywhere then... Could the Duclairs be a better fit perhaps?

Well that's wonderful.

I love em, they're a fantastic addition to my homestead.

Well I'm sure one look at WH was all it took to woo him over to their side
They're a wonderful breed as well, just not the safest with chickens.

Ya, everyone wants em.
