Anybody sell ducklings on here?

[Bring]

I am looking for a male Rouen and a female cauga(spelling?) and a female runner. That's it! I wanted to get them from a hatchery but the shipping for such a few number is almost $40. Anybody have any recommendations or sell them?? I live in New Mexico, wether that's a factor or not, i don't know.

you can ask in the breeders section who the breeders are in your area, or you can go to buy sell trade other poultry and put a listing there. Or you can do both! It doesn't hurt to ask here also because we may some people in here from NM.

I ordered mine in April from Ideal in Texas. Shipping was not anywhere close to $40, and the minimum I believe was 5 ducks. They provided male chicks for warmth and I gave those to our friend who raises chickens. Some of them turned out to be hens that he kept!

Metzers ships as few as 2 and I don't remember their shipping being that high..
you can order the sex you want also.. they send a heat pack with them.. no packing peanuts

Metzers is in CA... shipping would only be 10 or 11.00... they do charge a 30.00 minimum though even if you only want 15.00 worth of ducks

Edited to add: Not sure where in NM you are but you may check the swap meet section... I just saw this post for one in Edgewood https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=233213

Well, everywhere I've looked it's going to cost around $40.00 for three ducks. That includes purchase and shipping. Isn't that a bit expensive for just three ducks?

Can you find someone to split the order with you? or sell the extra ducklings somewhere like Craig's List?
