Best duck hatchery?

[Jon-o]

Thinking about getting some more ducks I wanted to know what is the best duckling hatchery? I would like this hatchery to have a wide selection with specialty duck breeds for not too much.

I always order from www.johnsonswaterfowl.com.

Many people like www.metzerfarms.com but they can be on the pricey side.

Not sure if they offer the breed you want, but had good luck with Murray McMurry. Meyer hatchery I think has a good reputation.

You aren't going to find a hatchery that has all those breeds. I'm not sure if anybody keeps long tails in captivity. I doubt it. Wood ducks are up there in price too. Also, all those are bantam ducks. African geese are huge and would probably trample the duckies. Just trying to be realistic here. I would do your research on domestic duck breeds and find out which ones are best for you. Here is a list of domestic duck breeds:

Heavy: Appleyard
Saxony
Muscovy
Pekin
Rouen
Aylesbury

Medium: Swedish
Crested
Buff Orpington
Cayuga
Ancona
Golden Cascade

Light: Campbell
Magpie
Welsh Harlequin
Runner


Bantams:
Call
Mallard
East Indies
Mini Appleyard
Silkie
Australian Spotted
Miniature Overberg
Miniature Golden Cascade

While I have never ordered ducks from them, Cackle Hatchery does a good job with chickens and Turkey's, I'd highly recommend.

Good point forget the goose does anyone know where to get cheap wood ducks and species of that sort?
