Where to buy Magpie Ducklings?

[JinxieKat]

I live in NE Oregon and I'm looking to buy Magpie Ducklings but I can't seem to find any place online that sells them sexed or doesn't match them 1 for 1. I'm only in the market for 4 or 5 total. So I really need to find a place that I can buy them sexed (1 drake and the rest hens). None of the local feed/farm equipment places sell them during the spring; I've already checked the last 3 years.

I am willing to drive to a bit to pick (OR, WA, ID) if they can't be ship. Obviously, this is something for next year since it is kind of late in the season.

Anyone have any suggestions?

@Magnolia Ducks and i ordered Magpie Ducks from Ideal-Poultry this Spring, but we were both a bit disappointed because what we got wasn't what we expected. The Ducklings were mostly black with only a white bib and we both received crested ducklings even though we did not order crested. But they were healthy and grew like weeds and became cheeky ducks!

Oh! That is a little shocking. At least all the ducklings where healthy so that is the plus side. Thank you for the information. I will steer clear from them when ordering.

I don't know if I would steer clear from them. The magpies were not what expected. I understand that they had a fence problem.

I am looking to show them. Crested can't be shown. I need them as close to standard as possible is all. So I will need to find a hatchery that sells them true to nature.

Hello! I just aquired some magpies this year and love them! I live up in Port Angeles but could meet part way in the spring if you are interested in some ducklings. Here they are hanging out with the muscovy's. I could also send eggs if it was too much of a drive.

I realize this is almost a year later, but do you have, or know where I could get Magpie ducklings in Washington? I think they are so sweet looking and would love to add two to my little flock.
