Would you pay 40.00 for these calls?

Three 5 week old call ducklings from excellent lineage. 2 are blue fawn. Parents are Blue Fawn show/breeder quality from Holderreads water fowl preservation. Third baby is black bibbed with spotting. Parents for this baby: white drake from Art Lungren Line and mother is a snowy call from Jane Freeman's lines.

Personally, no. But that's just me. Black bibbed is a cross so it's worth is questionable. The Blue Fawn's, maybe $20. Definitely not $40. They're not a pair, they're siblings. You just don't know what you're going to get with them yet. They're still too young.

At first I was excited but then I got thinking about the price and it does seem high. And when I realized one was a mix I really don't want that one but she says she's selling them together.

Is it $40 ea or for all? If it's $40 for all, then, Yeah, I'd buy in a heartbeat. The Holderread birds are worth that each.

$40 a pair is very reasonable. I sell my white pairs for $45-50. When you get into true show quality birds... its not uncommon for them to run $100-300 per pair. Lundgren birds are arguably the best in the country. However, the offspring is from a mixed variety so its not worth as much. It really depends on the quality of the birds in question. I've got 16 white call duck eggs from pure Lundgren lines scheduled to arrive monday. I'd buy that white Lundgren call parent for $50 easily. Then again, I have very specific breeding goals in mind. It really depends on whether they are worth it to you. If the price is for all three or for a pair then its a very reasonable price.

By the way... if anyone is interested, I've got some white call duck eggs on BYC auction right now.

It's 40.00 for the top three ducklings. They are 5 Weeks old. The parents are below are not for sale.

If it's $40 for all 3, I would go for it!!!

 

[Funky Feathers]

For those 3? Out of good stock? YES!!

i would say no , as with ducklings there is no way to tell what Q they will be (will no 100% way that is , you can guess tho) i would not pay $40 i would only pay $20 for the ducklings out of the blue fwan pair (the going rate for call ducklings in my area is 10.00 ish (give or take depeniding on colour). and that "black bied (Sorry for spelling) is mixed so it would not be good for breeding.
just my 0.2 cents
