Shetland ducks, USA

[Laura Dumas]

Last month I received 12 Shetland duck hatching eggs by mail. The air sacs were all damaged but I managed to get one out of the batch.
I’m looking for some Shetland ducklings or adult mating pairs in the USA. I’m located in New York. Does anybody have any advice on where to go searching for them?

I did. That’s how I managed to get the hatching eggs. Unfortunately they were sent from Ohio and the air sacs were heavily damaged. I managed to get one out of the 12 I received.

If I can’t find any ducklings I will get hatching eggs again next year and set them under the broody ducks. Nobody I can find in the group has ducklings or breeding pairs that can be shipped or are close enough to actually pick up, unfortunately.
