My daughter and I are buying 4 ducklings, but the mail order company will only ship 10 or 12 minimum. We can't keep that many, and she won't let me cull any straight run chicks the company might use to keep them warm during shipping. If anyone wants to round out our order, I'd pay for the birds and the shipping, if you came to pick up the birds when they arrive. We live on Long Island, in New York.
