Where can I buy mallards for my pond?

But them in the spring as ducklings and raise them

Where?

What if I want instant gratification and don't wanna wait that long

look in the market bulletin classifieds there's ads every month for mallards

this is not really the time of year to be buying poultry. I would wait until the spring and buy some ducklings, so they will feel at home in your pond and not try to leave.

as someone else said, no matter what you want, the market bulletin is your best bet.

Bad time of year to find em at feed store, but check with backyardchickens.com. You'll find plenty of breeders

I learned the hard way that young ducklings are prime targets for hawks.

I once found a baby mourning dove in my front yard and threw him on the roof to keep him safe from my cat; I didn't see the red-tailed hawk sitting in the tree across the street.
