They will start trying in a couple of weeks or so. The breeding seasons is starting to end but they breed all year round. Each drake is different though. My Saxony has been amazing. He has been more of a gentleman. He has a pretty low drive and many of my girls don't really get mated by him. I have 17 females and 1 mature drake right now. I did use to have a khaki Campbell drake that needed a ton of females. He stressed my Saxony drake out when he stole all the females. That drake had to go.
Are you sure you are not working on that... I thought someone just got a new duckSaxony drakes are BY FAR my faves! I love their blue-gray heads!
Get a couple more hens! My 5 large breed ducks really act like 1 big duck, really. What's a few more? Lol
I would fill my world with duckies if I could. The only thing stopping me is my husband!
I DID just get a new duckie! But, sadly, that will be it for a while.Are you sure you are not working on that... I thought someone just got a new duck
So moving on to other birds
. I have thought about geese, but I heard they chew wood and went ....no
I had geese ordered this spring but canceled them after all the problems I had with my chickens. I was overwhelmed (still am, kind of).So moving on to other birds
Omg! I’ve had 2 repeat offender turkeys trying to demolish both my gardens and have had to run them off, along with 2 doe that come up almost everyday! Lol I’m always afraid the turkeys are going to mess with my ducks since they are so much bigger. But I do not let my ducks free range when I’m not out there due to my 2 dogs (mastiff-lab and Great Dane bloodhound) that got ahold of 2 of them when I first started with ducks…. If I do let them out when I’m not there then I Locke the dogs up and the ducks stay in our pond and I have to chase them out in a kayak to put back up lol.
Those are interesting mixes in your dogs!
