We found ours on craigslist from a nice man near Ainaloa. I think our ducks are hiding a nest of eggs somewhere, so I may have some chicks for sale in the future. You can clip their flight wings, but since we got ours as chicks they just naturally stay around. I've heard the drakes can/will wander, but our drake seems pretty occupied chasing after the 3 females. Also, have a regular feeding schedule. We like ours to mainly forage, so we have one feeding time at noon. At 11:30 they start to congregate around the trash can where we keep the feed.
There is a man that works at Dells Farm Supply in Hilo and he has 14 Muscovy ducks. He has been a wonderful source of information for us. There is a bulletin board there where people post misc. farm related stuffs for sale. You might be able to call Dells and ask them if they know. That's where we buy our organic feed. Our ducks like both the "laying" organic pellets and the crumble.
