Had Chickens But Would Like Ducks

[BeautifulADuckling]

We first got chickens so long ago I can't remember, but haven't had any since we moved. We had Rhode Island Red. We of course liked having fresh eggs. We had been gardening but haven't been able to get back into it. We have a lot of cats and baby kittens if anyone would like some!

I hope so, have a lot to learn to care for them after figuring out where to get them, thanks!

If you are in the US, check out Murray McMurray Hatchery. They sell ducklings and will ship them to your local USPS office for you to pick up. I personally get chicks from them and have had success with them. I've ordered chicks twice from them and have another order I just bought this morning for this spring. I've linked their website below.

You can also get ducks in the springtime at Tractor Supply Co. I've done this before. The one thing is that they have a very limited breed selection compared to Murray McMurray.
