Well, I kind of understand the math. If you are selling only three ducklings, the amount per Bird alone would not cover costs including the labor and supplies for packing shipments. If you order at least 15 then the price starts to make economic sense.
I was going to suggest that you could probably drive to Metzer's and pick up the birds from them. I don't believe they have a minimum order for pick ups.
Yep, as i said it's about quantity first. I don't dislike hatchery's as with everything their are good and bad ones, they give a viable option and not everyone needs birds of high quality lineage(and yes i do know some can offer that is not the general rule though).
