I was wondering what are the best duck hatcheries that ship to PA or that are in PA and you can visit.

The best hatcheries are going to cost a little. Shipping is going to be a lot for 2-4 ducklings as every hatchery will charge a small order shipment. Most of them require 10-15 to avoid the "small order charge". It is safer to ship more ducklings at a time.

I've ordered three ducks at a time twice now. Everything worked out well both times. But as mentioned - it is pricey. About sixty bucks for three ducks shipped.

For only a few ducklings try Rural King or Tractor Supply or an other feed store you have locally. Also craigslist should have ducklings listed in a month or two.

Meyer Hatchery will ship a small order with relatively fair shipping. I have used them for chickens and turkeys, but not ducks. I have been pleased with their service. If you don't care about sexing and breed go for the feed stores selling chicks right now. If you want to wait a while you can almost always pick up the buyers remorse Easter freebies in about a month or two.
