Ordering Ducks?

[Fluffy_Feathers]

I plan on getting Pekins. I am getting 2 of them. I don't think getting males would be a good idea because I have a rooster and they might fight, and I've been told one male to one female duck isn't the best ratio.

I have a male duck and two female ducks in with a flock of chickens consisting of two roosters and 10 hens and they do just fine together...Not sure if that would change your mind,and you could always rehome if anything doesn't work.I also give them alot of space to roam because i have so many...Is there a reason why you just want two ducks or have you considered having more?

That does make me feel a bit better. We don't have a bunch of land like people do farther out into the country, so I don't want to get crazy with animals and overwhelm myself.

I ordered 10 ducklings from Holderreads last year. They don't sex their ducklings, so I can't speak to that part, but they all arrived safe and sound with an additional 2 ducklings added for insurance. They are located in Oregon and I'm in Kansas and the process was seamless!
