Yesterday I visited one of the pet markets in Bireuen village, Aceh. which sells a variety of pets, including cute little ducklings. I am very happy to see it, because this little duck is quite beautiful.
Before I didn't realize the price of the little duck had soared, there was a buyer who told me that the price was very high for now, very different from the price 10 months ago.
The price of a small duck for now is around Rp. 18,000 or around $ 1.2, if we go back 10 months ago the price of this little duck is only around Rp. 8,000 or $ 0.54 only.
Prices are soaring high because the capacity of ducks in the community is very minimal, so the price rises so quickly, and this price may fall again when the capacity of ducks is high.
A few months ago I once bought a duck that was a little mature, or about 2 months old, and the price was around Rp. 30,000 or the equivalent of $2.00. I am one of those people who like to keep these ducks, because when they grow up the price is very high, around Rp. 200,000 per head or about $13.42. and it is very profitable for the owner. Not only for sale, the meat from adult ducks is also very good for consumption, no wonder the price is quite high.
In this market I intend to buy some of these small ducks, but considering the very high price, I am holding back on buying them for the time being. Because the money I have may not be able to get at least 10 ducks, because I intend if I buy it then I have to get at least 10 ducks. Especially considering that the duckling is still very small or has just been born by its mother, so if I buy it, I have to be able to take care of it as well as possible so that it will survive until this duck is big.
On the other hand, I also took pictures of the small animal cages they sell there, such as chickens, ducks, quail and several other poultry. I'm not too brave to ask the price of other poultry, because I already intend to hold back from buying them.
Again we discuss about this cute little duck, I feel happy to see it and I really want to have it and bring it home. But unfortunately I can not have it because the price is very high.😁😁
But I can only get photos of these ducks, and the last photo is enough to make me love to see it, because some of the little ducks are drinking at the place provided by the seller, and lined up neatly there.
I may have to refrain from buying it now, I also have to wait for the price to drop and be able to collect as many as possible in the future.
