Does anyone know where I can order Muscovey ducklings? None of the poultry catalogs I have seem to offer them.

Metzger in Gonzales CA is one of the best sources. You can look them up on any search engines. If you can't look it up from there, try the advertisement area of TPC (http://www.poultryconnection.com/cgi- bin/forum/wfindex.cgi)( you may need to cut and paste thatlink), and in the back of your Countrysider magazine...I am pretty sure I've seen them advertise in there under poultry for CA. If all else failes, I raise them.

Stormberg's Chick & Gamebirds Unlimited at 800-720-1134 or www.strombergschickens.com. Blues are $81.90 for 15 and Whites are $49.50 for 15 (plus S&H).

For anyone near West Central, TN, I generally have excess Muscovy ducklings two to three times a year. Free when available.

Tracy, there are some breeding pairs at egg-bay. They seem pretty high, but I guess you could raise your own ducklings this spring. www.eggbay.com Hope this helps!

Cool, thanks for all the replies!

We had muscovys in Arizona, and I loved the ugly lil things ;-)

And thanks for the tip on eggbay! That is pretty neat, looks like there are some good buys on there....except for $50 a pair on the adult Muscovys--yikes!

Tracy, Where are you. I have a friend with a bunch of Muscovys. I bet she'd part with some.

Thanks for the offers, Laura and George...But I am in Idaho, right dab in the middle of nowhere I don't know anyone around here that even has ducks, but I might see what the feed stores down below end up with too.

Best price I've seen is Matson Farms in Washington. 11+ is $2.50 per.
