Looking to buy Muscovy ducks

You may not need to buy more as muscovies are known to breed like rabbits! Your 2 could turn into 20 in a matter of months!

Do you have a safe place where they could stay? I would recommend this:
If you have a coop or pen, try feeding them in it. Don't lock them in it if they haven't been locked up before as that might scare them. Just give them food and water in there daily for a few weeks until they get used to going in on their own.
I would make a nesting area in a corner (or if you have an outside pen, I put cat crates with hay in the pens for them to nest in). If she gets comfortable enough, she will make a nest on her own and possibly start laying eggs.
Once she starts to lay, just sit back and she will do the rest! Just keep in mind that it takes this breed 35 days to hatch.
 
Your scovy were both boys, probly hatchmates by look of, and showing colors ect of bred pets. they may have wandered away from home up river cause of dominant male, as looked young, or dropped off. if you get more make sure at least equal number females to males (getting one to three or more females would make him happy boy), but one or two would do if want young, as they'll breed you out of house and home soon otherwise, otherwise get all boys. i got pair and luckily they only hatched a dozen (one drowned or got too cold in water one evening to morn, and found dead floating above water), as they grow quick and are voracious, also able to lay and hatch twenty to thirty eggs and raise them all.

Sorry, I misread the post!
You are looking for females as you are down to one duck, got it now :)
But as I said above, you really only need 1 female (though 2 or more will make it easier on them when it comes to breeding so one doesn't get all the attention). And they will usually do the rest for you :)

If you cant find any and would be interested in shipping I can arrange that for you. I don't have any extra females from my ducks but I do have a friend who is over-run with them. She sells them for $25 per duck. Shipping would be in the $20-40 range depending on your location
