Buying Ducklings

[barredrocks755]

Hi! I have been looking for hatcharies for ducks and I have found some but I need a little help. There is a thing that says straight run and there is quantity, I want only 2 ducks so should I put 1 or 2 in the quantity box?

Thanks!

Make sure the hatchery will only ship 2 ducklings a lot of hatcheries won't becuase its not safe for the ducklings. I would order more in case 1 dies during shipping, ducklings need a buddy you can always sell what you don't want. Also some hatcheries will put roo chicks in with the ducklings as packing peanuts and then you would have to deal with that......... In the quanity of the website you would put 2, straight run just means they are unsexed. Check locally on Craigslist in the farm and garden section, lots of people have ducklings for sale

if you want 2 ducklings, you put 2 in the quantity box.
