Mine will be a subjective opinion, but if you truly want Calls, find a reputable breeder. They will likely have pet quality ducks available at some point, and though you might pay more, you'll still get nice ducks and they will likely have some degree of hand raising or imprinting to humans already. There are hatcheries that buy from breeders and resell, but I don't personally know any Call breeders who will sell to hatcheries because Calls are very hard to hatch and a breeder is going to want to be paid more for their stock and time than a hatchery is going to be willing to give them, because the hatchery has to make a profit too. You may have to be patient and get on a spring waiting list, but I think it is time well spent.
This.
Try Wapsipinicon Waterfowl(I THINK that's the name). They have stellar birds. You have to get on a waiting list, but TOTALLY worth it for really good quality Calls.
