If my memory i serving me right The mininum amount of ducks at TSC inSE Pennsylvania was 2.

You should mail order them. It'll alleviate both of your issues. Just be forewarned, the hatchery is gonna ask for your address.

I've heard they're straight run because the hatcheries want to get rid of drakes. Nothin but a tub fulla drakes!

We bought 9 this fall from TSC expecting some losses. All 9 are healthy (except one with some minor nerve damage from a very determined coyote) and the ratio was 5 ducks and 4 drakes.

I guess sex ratios comes down to luck of the draw!

We bought all eleven (one week old) that the TSC had in Ozark, Alabama in September. We meantioned that we were driving thru on our way back to FL. We were not told anything about limits or state laws. Today 3 more started showing drake feathers so that means at least 4 drakes. Two of the girls are bobbing like crazy so they will be chosen lol. All seam very healthy at 16 weeks.

In Texas it's two.

I'd suggest looking on craigslist for some ducklings or adults. How old is your remaining duck?

I like this idea.

Here in Florida the least number that I have noticed with both ducks and chicks has been 6. Turkeys might be different.

TSC told me 32 ducklings. But apparently that's Massachusetts state law. I think he said in New Hampshire it's 6.

My TSC is a min of 2, but then again, I live in Cali
