ducklings are sold unsexed and in the sex ratio provided by nature. Usually
this means about half of each gender, although it can vary from week to week.
Sorry, we do not sex out extra females.
Minimum Orders: The fewest day-olds we ship are 10 ducklings. These
minimums are required in order to allow the babies to maintain the correct

occasionally can last minute orders for hatchlings be filled. Please give
