I also just have chickens but I think some feed stores get ducklings. I know Viking Feed in Kingston usually does.

Hello! I am new. But not new. I was here years ago when I was raising ancona ducks. I stopped for a few years while I didn't have a space to do so. And I'm looking to get back to it.
I was SO blessed last time to get 3 ducks free (with a pool.) And was able to hatch and raise several of my own, after that, as well.
But I think this time I'll likely have to go a more conventional route and buy things. Haha. Does anyone have any local leads? I'm not opposed to shipping ducklings but I'd love to hop in with some layers ASAP too.

Not sure where you are in Washington, but every farm store around here has chicks and ducklings right now.

They had a big sign out yesterday saying the chicks are in. I didn't go looking for them because I'm not in the market. Are you sure they weren't somewhere else on the property?

That might be for the best right now, given that feed may become more difficult to get if restrictions and lockdowns continue to tighten. I was considering picking up chicks in May but at this point I'm thinking next year would be better.
