No ducklings for me sad

[Anny]

I was all excited about getting some ducklings tomorrow, I was supposed to be getting Gold Star Hybrids, I really want khaki campbells but these seemed close to them...but she bailed on me last minute.

I can't seem to find anyone with khaki campbells anywhere in Michigan, anyone know anyone breeding them at all?

All people seem to have are call ducks and Peckins.

We need to trade! I am in Colorado and cannot find Call Ducks near me but Khaki Cambell's are all over. What Quality are you looking for? I have pet Quality and love them. You can Google Search Duck Hatchery and they will ship you ducklings. Some have a minimum order of 5 and others you need to order 25.

I want them for pets. Do you happen to know of the hatcheries that have a 5 min. I can only find places with a 15+ I only want a few.

would you want to hatch your own? there's a person selling hatching khaki eggs on this forum on the other poultry BST forum

I've never ever hatched before, and I don't have a bator.

you can build one. there's a section on here all about homemade bators. i made my own for about $20 and its my first hatch. if you don't want to hatch, you could check out craigslist or theres a section here about hatcheries, hopefully you can fine one with a min of 5

That is great advice! An incubator is an invaluable tool.

If you didn't want to do that, The minimum order for Metzer Farms is two, but, shipping would probably kill you.

I got my Khakis last summer from McMurray Hatchery http://www.McMurrayHatchery.com because they had a 10 duckling minimum. I split the order with a friend, we each got 4 hens & 1 drake each. They all arrived well & healthy, and I'm so happy to have them. I get an egg from each of the hens almost every day. And Webster, the drake, is doing his job because 4-H kids are hatching ducklings from these eggs. I use them for cooking & baking, they're deeeeeeeeeelicious!

Those hybrid ducks looked like they'd be good layers too, but the Khakis were less expensive.
Don't be

Get yourself some ducks!
