Duck Adoption/Purchase

[JColson]

Hello All,
I'm looking to purchase or adopt 1-2 female ducks. We recently lost our female and I have a lonely male at the moment that needs a friend or two. Everywhere I check only sells day old ducklings. I would like one old enough that I know it's a female. Thanks!

Sorry, I forgot to mention I'm in Houston, TX!

Craigslist
Local livestock shelters?

Go to the Texas forum at “where am I where are you” here on BYC might just find someone close by. What breed?

Will do! Thank you! I'm not particular on the breed. We just keep them as pets. We believe the duck we have now is a Rouen.

Hopefully you’ll find someone who can help on the State forum. We also have a rehoming and buy sell trade forum if you keep scrolling down from here. Very sorry for your loss.

If you can't find one locally holderreads sells mature ducks. They are a small family run farm. Their duck lines are impeccable as Dave holderread has been breeding ducks for 60 years.

No hens but I always have excess drakes, though no adults at the moment. Just three weeks. Drakes are free! I'm in Magnolia.

I am in Texarkana. I sell. You could look on Facebook for local 'poultry swaps' or 'livestock swaps'. There are lots of options for places closer. There is even a hatchery and adoption farm close to Houston. You could even try the Animal Shelter.
