TSC has a minimuim of 24 ducks!

Yeah but there was a sign that said a minimum of 24 ducks and I asked the lady just to see if it was true. I am in Massachusetts.
Also, I just want everyone to know, I have nothing against TSC. They are a great store. I just dont get why the minimuim is SO much!

After reading this reply, that makes sense. A lot of parents buy ducklings for their kids for easter and later they get abandoned or dumped in some pond when they're no longer cute and fluffy for the kids. 24 still seems like a lot to me. I think 12 or something would be more reasonable, but if they really want to deterr just any person from buying them, it will work!

Our TSC (I go to the one in Easthampton) didn't even get ducks this year as far as I know. Only chicks, and their minimum was 6. Unless maybe they got ducks later on. I have't needed to go there for awhile.

Wow I just bought 2 ducks from TSC on Tuesday. I guess if they really upped it I got them at the right time. 24 is a ridiculous number, surely they can't expect anyone to buy that many. It is like the number they get shipped in...
 
I think that's their strategy: Have a high minimum so that only serious duck farmers will buy the ducks. In my city, though, you can't have more than 20 fowl, so that wouldn't work and people would just buy them elsewhere. But, we don't have a TSC here, luckily, or I would be out every day for the next few weeks looking for ducklings people dropped off at the lake.

But, what's to prevent people from splitting them up?

Well, I was thinking the same thing. But maybe somebody who has to buy 24 either wouldn't want to go through all that effort, or wouldn't find enoug hto people to sell/ give them to.

I also wanted to add to go with my other reply: We have never ordered more than 12 ducks at once. 24 is definitely a high number unless you're a pretty serious duck farmer!
 
Drive over to Ct it's a 6 min duck or chick. You can even mix and match. 24 is crazy I would call up and double check again
