How can I tell if I'm a duckling hoarder? lol

My TSC had their ducklings on clearance today, too. The bin with the smallest ones were marked $2.50 each, and the bin with the larger ones were $1 each.

(I got 4 of the $1 ones. )

We started with 2 ducks on Thursday and now have 4. Is it common to buy a duckling at a farm store that's marked as one things but isn't? We bought what we thought was a Welsh Harlequin, I believe it may be a runner, though.
I'm sorry foodfreedomnow, I wasn't trying to highjack your thread, I just seen everyone talking about the feed store ducks and thought this would be the place to ask.

Yep, I can't tell you how many times I have seen people complain about tractor supply mislabeling chickens and ducks.

Well, I'm glad nobody had their hearts set on a specific breed then. lol thank you.

You can always ask them what hatchery they get them from. Then you can find out what the hatchery has and try to compare to find out what they are.

I had this thought too. I only wanted 10 tops, i'm now at 22 oops
I know I probably have way too many boys so that will take my numbers down.

No worries - this seems like a logical place to ask about the breed mix-ups. I've heard about several mislabeling situations...my TSCs just sell them as "assorted", so it's up to the customers to figure the breeds out.

Congrats on your new ducklings!!
