Selling Duck Eggs

Does anyone know where I can get some young ducklings asap? I have a day-old Mallard single hatchling that needs some company desperately. Willing to consider other breeds and will drive to pick up most anywhere in New England. Please let me know if you know of any options.

Thanks!

I live up in tenats harbor ME do you live close we are trying to give 3 pekin ducks away.

I live in Southern Maryland near Washington DC I've been selling my eggs for $5 a half-dozen based off of a farmer market price locally but I've been told that they can go for more as there are not many people selling them

I sell my duck eggs for $15 per dozen which is an incredible value. You have to market them right to do that stating all of the benefits. Have a look at this website and see what they sell them for. 18 to 19 per HALF dozen. Do remember that ducks eat WAY more food than chickens. So they cost way more to raise. A study in Backyard Chicken magazine showed that Chickens cost $12 per dozen eggs when factoring and amortizing the cost of their shelter, the land they use, food, health care, etc. And that didn't include feeding your pets when they are too old to lay just because you like them and aren't going to kill them. With that considered the cost would be well over 12 per dozen. So don't feel like you are ripping anyone off because you're not. They sell them for $3 per dozen in the stores because they cram them in the shelter in terrible conditions and kill them immediately when they stop laying. I'm sure you're not doing that to your ducks.

Duck eggs last over 2 months in the refrigerator and over 2 weeks unrefrigerated.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm in 4H and sell my eggs for $8/dozen. I live in the Austin area. I even deliver locally. My ducks stopped laying for a while but are back at work and we are overloaded with them. I rescue ducks and my Peking rescue is now starting to lay too. Best way to reach me is
