Silver appleyard ducklings???

[JillZaHulk]

Does anyone know a reliable source to order silver appleyard ducklings from? I don't want hatching eggs. I'm looking for 6-10 female duckings. And 1 Drake. I'm in Washington state. Thank you for any help finding them.

I don't personally, but if you don't have to order online I would have to say TSC. My TSC sold great silver appleyards. All TSCs are different however.

We ordered ours from Cackle hatchery in Missouri and they arrived in northern Maine on June 17th. This was our second order from Cackle and all of their ducklings have arrived in great condition and correctly sexed.

Might look into Purely Poultry. Or Metzers.

Might be kind of hard to find them at this time of year. Metzer's might be your best bet. When last I checked, Cackle, Purely Poultry and Johnson's Waterfowl were sold out for the year.

Everywhere is out of stock of Silver Appleyards now. Best thing to do is get put on their waiting list to be emailed as soon as they have more. I know purepoultry will do that. I believe Metzer doesn't have the option but I've heard they can be helpful if you email them. Hoovers is another one.

It can't hurt to check locally though. Try craiglist or facebook marketplace. Someone might be selling off some ducklings. Have you tried your states thread on BYC?

I know you posted this a while ago, but I just got 4 sexed Silver Appleyard females from My Pet Chicken (mypetchicken.com). Someone gifted me with 3 young ducks which and she thought it was 2 girls and a drake, but it turned out we had 2 drakes and I wanted to add some girls to even out the numbers a bit. My local feed store doesn't offer sexed ducklings at all, and I was unable to find any Silver Appleyards locally. I attached a photo of the big kids (the younger boy is on the right- you can see he's still getting his adult feathers and green coloring) and one of the babies in the brooder (they're a week old today).

Holderread waterfowl preserve, best stock you can get. And its their last year selling ducklings.

I looked there, but they don't sell sexed ducklings. Straight run only.
