    Calmest duck breed?

    This summer I’m going to order ducklings from metzer farms. I read online that Pekins and Welsh Harlequins are the calmest duck breeds. I want birds that don’t freak out when humans come around, and are kind to eachother. What are some duck breeds that have calm temperaments?

    Broken duck wing

    My duck felicity is moving very slow and won’t move her one wing. The wing is in a weird position, it’s kinda hanging down by her leg, if that makes sense. I can’t get a picture because she is super skittish. Does this sound like a broken wing? Please help. How do I fix it?? Thanks everyone.

    What type of duck is this?

    I recently got this duck from a farm. Her name is felicity, and she has a black back but a white tummy. But you can’t really see in the pick but she has specs of brown on her back and she’s growing brown feathers. Can anyone tell me what type of duck this is?? Thanks everyone.

    Ordered 2 duckings from metzar farms

    Okay, so this is a question for everyone that has ordered from metzar farms. Do you have to drive to the postal office to get them? Or are they going to get shipped to my house. I've never ordered off of this site so sorry if I sound dumb. Thanks for any responses.

    Ducklings living outside??

    Ok, so I ordered two ducklings. One white crested one cayuga. Is it possible that I can put the heat lamp in the coop and let them live outside? Or do I have to let them live inside with a heat lamp in a box? Is it too risky to let them live outside with a lamp? Please give some answers.
