I would edit your post and remove your phone number. If someone has some information for you, they can PM you and get your number if they need it.

I agree. Someone once texted in reply to a lost chicken ad I posted on CL that they enjoyed eating my chicken, an expensive silver lace English Orpington. That said, I have Khaki Campbell ducks and can ship across state lines because I have NPIP certification. I have never shipped anything, not even an egg, and I wouldn't ship a duckling, but I would ship an egg or two if nobody else offers. I'm busy right now so there's probably somebody better able to get you what you want. Best wishes!

I would not just get one duckling either. Ducks need friends or they will not be as happy.

Also, be sure to make a plan. You've got to have a place for brooding when they are very young and have to have heat etc. as well as a safe place for when they are fully feathered and can live outside. You have to have a predator-proof house to lock them in at night or they will get taken and you will be very sad.

Read a lot of info on here about ducks if you can first...they are sooooo wonderful, but it’s nice to be prepared for them, because they are messy, and ducklings are smelly poopers too.... But their fluff makes up for it! I think a good friendly breed to start with is pekin..they are a riot..but apparently khaki Campbell are one of the best layers! Enjoy!!

It's essential...secure and appropriate enclosures first, then add birds.

@Edlyn Do you have the coop and run ready?
