Can I order males and females together?

[BackyardAnimalsDucks]

So I need a male duckling. Does mezter farms let us have just one duckling or do we have to have two. If so can I get a female and male together. Like two orders put in one? I already have two female welsh harlequin ducklings that are two days old.

Where are you?

All hatcheries that i am aware of have a minimum amount of birds for shipping. Afaik Metzer Farms requires a minimum of two birds.
Depending on where you're located there are some people here on BYC with excess drakes they would love to give to good hands.

It sure would be nice if people were "required" to put there approximate location on their profile or avatar whatever you call it!

Not a fan of the "EU" anyway and I don't know anything about that but it sure would make it easier to answer questions about whatever they are asking about! A lot of the people in the USA don't put their location either. It is such a simple thing and really makes a difference where you are trying to help someone.

Oh god what did I start! I’m in North Carolina.

I would check your local craigslist and see if there is a local FB poultry swap group. Spring ducklings are now old enough to be sexed and many people will be looking to get rid of excess drakes. I believe Metzer’s minimum to ship is 2 ducklings, but I believe you are able to mix and match sexes and breeds, I don’t think it has to be two of the same.

There are plenty of breeders here in NC. I can give you a couple of examples if you're in the Charlotte area.

You didn't start anything so don't worry about it. It just really is easier to help when you know appoximate location. I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings!
I bet there are plenty of people in your area that may have an extra drake they would like to give to a good home!
