Lesley Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hello again..... your ducks should start laying soon Re hatching......there is a Sticky on hatching at the top of the Chickens Section - well worth a read. Most hatches result in more cockerels than hens so the answer to your question is 'No' Please think long and hard about hatching - make sure you make provision for any resulting cockerels. Cockerels are really hard to re-home.........there are so many of them unwanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck-Noob Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Sounds a bit harsh but i was going to eat them, i assume this is possible before they start to be a noise nuisance? id love nothing better then to keep all but as many of us are probably in same position I dont have the luxury of being out in the country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 We eat any spare drakes as well - drakes don't make very much noise anyway (far less noise than the ducks!) so you can wait until you are certain before taking them off to the pot.
