Seeking Saxony duck hatching eggs

[Birdnubie]

Does anyone know where I can get pure Saxony duck hatching eggs or ducklings in East Texas? I ordered some eggs online and not only is the shipping g charges high (for good reason), but on day 15 of incubation, it looks like only 3 are still viable out of the 13 eggs I received. The shipping process really brings the hatch rate down. If I don’t hatch a healthy male and female pair, I would like to try to obtain some locally. Thank you in advance.

How did your hatch go?

Two of the three remaining made it to hatch. One gave up late. But I love my two Saxony ducklings. They seem more energetic than the Magpie ducklings I brooded last year. They get the zoomies around the brooder a lot. They have also been very welcoming and gracious to a lone chick who momma hen rejected.
