Anna... did that avian/chicken/turkey virus that was going around bite into the duck farms in Canada? There was a real slash and burn (literally) approach by our Fed. Ag Dept. that caused literally millions of birds to be killed off in large sections of the US. Some FT/HT groups had a devil of a time coming up with birds for trials/tests. Our rules require live fliers unless the regulations/laws of the area of the grounds forbid them. So for some clubs it was really tough. Our supplier was spared. I think it had to do with where he got his ducklings. He was careful not to import them from anywhere near any outbreak.
