18+ Buff Duck Hatching Eggs. Condition is "New". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.The Buff duck is a wonderful breed. They are a dual purpose bird both excellent at producing eggs and meat. They are also commonly used in shows and other competitions. They lay around 150-200 eggs a year, however some of ours lay an egg daily. Their eggs are very large ranging from 80-90 grams. They are also very good mothers and tend to go broody quite often, making for the perfect self sustaining homestead bird. Females weigh around 5 pounds while males weigh around 6. They are a very popular breed and are very active foragers. The Buff duck is a very excellent choice of duck due to their laying capabilities, meat yield, and mothering capabilities and will fit nicely on any farm.
We free range our ducks and allow them access to roam wherever they please. They have a varied diet of premium layer pellets, grasses, insects, and other things that they find while out foraging. We also give them calcium as it helps with stronger egg shells and other nutritional needs. Here at our farm we have a 1:3 male to female ratio in order to maximize fertility while still ensuring that the females are comfortable and not overbred. We use automatic coop door systems which allow the ducks to be mostly self sufficient, making sure that they get plenty of time in their day and don’t need to wait for a human caretaker. Our main breeding stock comes from Metzer Farms which is a very reliable hatchery and has provided us with the best ducks that truly represent their breed.
Shipping hatching eggs is always a gamble and we cannot guarantee fertility rates, the postal services are usually fairly rough however we have had wonderful success in past years. In the event that your eggs do not arrive intact you can contact us and we will make it right, but again there is NO GUARANTEE on fertility or hatching rates. That being said we do take pride in our shipping methods and always try to ship eggs at the best of our ability. In order to have good success we individually wrap each egg in bubble wrap and then place them tip down in the box. The boxes are also packed with bubble wrap, newspaper, or other soft filling material to make sure the eggs do not get jostled around.
The eggs are candled to make sure that there are no cracks or blood spots in the eggs prior to shipping. We do fertility tests monthly to make sure that eggs are fertile. You are guaranteed to have at least an extra egg or two in each order to add a little extra security to make sure that you get all the eggs that you pay for. We have received lots of feedback and most customers receive all of their eggs intact and have good fertility.
Our customers' satisfaction is our number one priority and we always want to make sure that you are getting your money's worth. If you have any further questions about anything please contact us and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you.
