Looking for runner ducklings in the PA, DE, MD, NJ area

I, unfortunately, lost one of my two little ones yesterday. 2 weeks old tomorrow. I now need to find some friends for the one left behind. She is currently staying in her brooder with the company of a very laid back 3 week old chick. She seems to be doing well, but I don't want her growing up as a chicken!

We live within 40 minutes of Philadelphia if that helps anyone. Please let me know what you might be willing to sell me! Hope to hear from you soon!!

Could I ask what happened? Sad to read of your loss. Good to get a duckie friend!

We are still not really sure. I went out for a couple of hours last night and came home to one little duckling showing what appeared to be the beginning stages of wry neck. However, since it was so late and I did not have anything that I needed I had to wait until the morning to begin treatment. However, the longer I watched her and the later it got her movements became more spastic and uncontrollable. They would come and go... I know that there is someone watching over me because I asked that she go on her own over night if there was nothing that I could do for her in the morning. When I came down bright and early she was gone. The other duckling and the 7 chicks are doing beautifully. I am wondering if it is something genetic as she was smaller and quieter that that the other. But I can not say that for sure as these are my first ducklings. Any suggestions or thoughts would be welcome...
