Adult or Duckling for our lone duck? I have no idea how old exactly she is but I guess she is about a year since I'm pretty sure she was an Easter duckling, we've had her about a month now and we love her. We want to do right by her and get her a friend. I'm having a harder time getting ahold of an adult than I thought I would. I have a friend who breeds ducks (have no idea what kind) and sometimes sells the ones who aren't colored the way he wants them but I haven't been able to catch up with him lately. TSC of course has ducklings as do the feed stores here in the area. There is also a farmers market near here that sells live animals. We went out there last weekend but the weather was really crummy and only one person was there and she just had some chickens. I saw on craigslist somebody trying to sell Muscovy females for 10 dollars each but and another person was advertising a Muscovy breeding pair that they were trying to sell at the farmers market a few weeks back. I'm not sure I really like Muscovys but if Daisy would like them then it's all good. I don't know if they would even still have them and I'm thinking it's quite possible that IF I do find ducks out at the FM this coming weekend they will be ducklings as well since most of the people selling chickens are just selling chicks or older roosters. So do I snag a pair of ducklings somewhere and call it a day or do I hold out for an adult. My husband and I have decided three is the limit and he would prefer to just have two. Is one a better choice than the other as far as introducing them to Daisy?
