Some farms also offer to supply ducks and for this you will have to travel to rural areas where these farms are situated. Sometimes in local market ducks are available on the pet shops or pet dealers can arrange for you, as well.
The purchasing period recommended is start or middle of spring season because it is an ideal time to raise ducks due the ideal temperature and weather most suitable to them. To consult an avian veterinarian before going to purchase is fully recommended because in the case of emergency you would not be rushing to find a veterinarian yet you can consult the same person. Another important thing is checking of health of the ducks before bring to home. If some affected duck enters into your house it may bring disease virus within and thus causing other ducks to be infected accordingly.
