796.0. "Fancy Chickens and Ducks" by AKOCOA::LAJEUNESSE () Wed Apr 14 1993 20:00

    Hi,
    
    Can anyone point me in a good direction for locating exotic chickens
    and ducks in the Massachusetts area?  I'm looking for specifically
    for Khaki Runner ducks.  
    
    I know you can order eggs from magazines and I do have an incubator but
    I don't need 25-50 of the same breed and that is the only way you can
    order them.
    
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi Mark,
    
    I am looking to have some ducks for our garden pond and have decided 
    on Mandarins. I will wait untill fledgelings are available before I 
    acquire any though. 
    Try contacting the local clubs and find out what breeders there are in
    your area. That's the way I did it.
    Over here in the Netherlands almost anything with feathers is being
    bred from and is available. For species like the more popular ducks it
    realy is a buyer's market.

    Hi Peter,
    
    Thanks for the reply.  I guess what I need is to know what and where
    the local clubs are in the Massachusetts area.  
    
    I will continue my search!  
    
    Thanks again,
