How does one go about buying a LIVE duck?

Question

i live in berkeley, ca and i have great yard space. i really want a pekin duckling and outside of craigslist (which ive tried with no luck) i dont know where to find one. any ideas anyone?

Answer 1

u can mail order ducks, however i don't think that it is very humane, but if u have a local feed store, or farm and home they should be able to help. just ask them and usually they can order them, or even have bulitin boards to post things, put an add on one. u may even try going to farms around your area(i'm not from there, but im sure there  are some somewhere). most farmers have some kind of poultry, or know where u can get one around u , and most if they have them will let u buy one, and usually pretty cheap. search the web locally for animal rescues even, as these are becoming more popular for pets now days, or amimal shelters. call around to these places, and they can probably help.

Answer 2

You can go to farmers markets and get them.

You can order them from hatcheries near you.

You can buy them at feed stores.

Or you can adopt one through petfinder:

go to a feed store, they have babies

Answer 4

Go to a farm or ranch supply store and you can order ducklings from hatcheries, certain pet stores will also get them in, we got ours from a pet store, they were for a scholl project, we hatched 3 eggs and then the ducklings lived on our farm after they hatched.
