Hey there. I have ordered from "californiahatchery" and have had awful luck. So first off I order my 2 day old mallard ducklings on a sunday night, find out the next day they won't be shipping because they were out of stock and didn't tell me, so I waited 10 more days to get my new ducks, open the box and they were both dead, then I waited another week and today I was supposed to receive my ducks, but the post office called and said they were dead and smelled so bad they had to throw them away. I feel awful because 4 helpless ducks were killed. Anyway, of this story, I just need hatcheries that are closer to Naperville Illinois than california and would like them to be shipped. If they hatchery is close enough I could pick them up I would. Indiana, Wisconsin etc. hatcheries would be fine. I am looking at Metzers but that is also in California. What are the best close to me? Thanks!
