mollyripkim Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Doing research on call ducks and have come across a breed of small duck called Silky Ducks, they only weigh up to 2 lbs so suitable for gardens, only the outer feathers are silky so still can swim. Just need to find a breeder, does anyone know of a magazine for ducks as that may be the way forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Wow. If it was April 1st I'd be certain you were making fools of us Do you have a link with pictures coz I'd love to see one. I'm already trying (completely unsuccessfully so far) to persuade OH into letting me have one of theose frizzled geese. A Silkie duck would at least be more practical.

mollyripkim Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 I know, I was really surprised when I found them, it was by accident when looking for breeds of bantam ducks. One website is http://www.holderreadfarm.com/photogallery/silkies_page/silkies_page.htm. I can't work out how to do a link but you can cut and paste this or google silky duck. Off now to look at frizzle geese but I know that would be a step too far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensen1234 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 frizzle geese look like they could make a mess, feathers everywhere!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Oh they are sweet. I like the Snowy Silkie Duck in particular, but they are not really like Silkies all the same. I think call ducks are a tad prettier with their funny little beaks. By the way, to put in a link I just put this into my post [*url=www.omlet.co.uk][*color=blue]The Omlet Website[/color][/url*] (asterisks added so the code is visible - you would need to remove these), and then take out the Omlet URL and add in the one I want. Same with the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
