Buff

These ducks are also called Buff Orpington ducks because they originated from the famous Orpington Farms in England. This is the same home of the well known Orpington Breed of chickens. The drake and hen are colored the same with the exception of the drake’s head which is a beautiful seal-brown matched against the soft buff color of the rest of the duck. The hens are good layers, not broody, and will weigh 5 pounds. Drakes are about one pound heavier than the hens.

Q&A

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

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

do the mature buff bucks fly?
It is not likely that the buff ducks would fly. Most domestic ducks will not fly. Only mallards, fly well. Khaki Campbell and Rouen might.

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.
