Hi all,

I had a friend bring round some fertile duck eggs lasts spring and asked if I could try to incubate them for her as she had had no success herself.

Well I ended up with :-

2 Cayuga (1 Duck / 1 Drake)
4 Indian Runners (2 Ducks / 2 Drakes)

They are not yet 1 year old, so will be coming into lay this Spring.

So if anyone is in North Dorset and fancies some/all of the above ducks please let me know.

Many thanks
Stephanie Bond

How much are you looking for for them?
I have muscovies at the moment, but they dont want to go onto the river, I really want to see some ducks on my river :(

Hi

Have no clue how much really.  Maybe £20 for all of them if you are interested.  Would be lovely for them to have a river to swim in. ;D

We are in Stourton Caundle, PM me if you want them and i will send you my address and phone number.

Thanks

Hi colliewoman & WoollyVal.

Sorry I missed you today Val.  Hope you enjoy the duckies.  They were born last April so not yet a year old.

I think the cayuga has just started laying, but not had an egg yet from the runners.

Hope they go on to have happy lives, The orchard seemed abit quiet tonight without them.  :'(

Take care, let me know that all is fine when you have a chance.

Thanks
