Buff Duck

Buff Ducks, also called Buff Orpington Ducks, originated from the famous Orpington Farms in England — the home of the well-known Orpington breed of chickens.

Buff drakes and hens are are both the same golden buff color, with the exception of the drake’s head which is a beautiful seal-brown. Buff hens are good layers, not broody, and will weigh approximately 5 pounds. Drakes are about one pound heavier than the hens.

Q&A

Do you have to have a male duck for hens to have eggs?
You do not need a male for the females to lay eggs. But, if you want the eggs to be fertilized for hatching, then you will need a male.

Do mature Buff Ducks fly?
It is not likely that Buff Ducks would fly. Most domestic ducks will not fly — only Mallards fly well, and possibly Khaki Campbells and Rouens.

Are Buff Ducks good for fertilizing eggs and hatching them?
Buff Ducks are fair layers and setters.

About how many eggs do Buff Ducks lay per year? How long before ducks lay eggs?
Buff Ducks lay approximately 130-180 eggs/year. All duck breeds begin laying around 6 months of age.

Grow fast!After 15+ years of raising chickens, we decided to try ducks. We researched the breeds and decided on the Buff as the first breed we wanted to try due to their good dual-purpose qualities. They're supposed to reach butcher weight in 8 to 10 weeks and I will say they have definitely grown very fast. They're at least on par with a Cornish Rock Cross, and probably better. I would have to look at my records in order to compare, but I believe these ducks have grown bigger more quickly than the Cornish X Rocks we grew.
Their egg laying ability will have to wait for now, but I have read several reports on buff ducks laying in the range of 200 + eggs a year as long as you keep 13+ hours of light on them year round and adequate nutrition.
These ducklings arrived and great health and were very Hardy and robust, never had an issue with them at all, and we get cold, wet nights.
I would definitely recommend this breed for anyone wanting to get started in ducks.
