Back in May, I ordered 2 female goslings - 1 Buff, 1 African.
On June 18th, at around 10:30 AM, the shipping label was created in TN (their secondary hatchery).
It was quite a stressful time after that, as the USPS tracker did not update whatsoever until today (June 20th) when they arrived...
Yesterday, I placed an order for 2 goslings from Metzer Farms! I decided on getting 2 females; 1 Buff, 1 African. I might even look for an adult gander in the future, assuming these 2 are good. They’re set to ship out June 17th. This is my first time ordering from Metzer, so I’m quite nervous...
Hello everyone, I'm John. I'm new to this site, and my family is going to start raising their first chickens and ducks in just a few weeks from now. We are getting them as day-olds from Metzer Farms and My Pet Chicken. For the chickens, we've decided on getting some bantams and standard size...
We just purchased our first ducklings!!! Thanks for the nudge @Evermore We have three Welsh Harlequin ducks and one drake coming from Metzer's w/o June 27th. However, the more I read on BYC, I have heard mixed reviews about their stock. These may be outdated reviews however, since so many...
Many have ordered ducklings through Metzer farms but I want this post here for anyone wondering about packaging, customer service, shipping, etc.
My experience may be different from others, please share yours here as well.
Metzer farms has a variety of breeds to choose from and allows customers...
i’ve searched on here and google but can’t find any reviews. i know they’re “hatchery quality” and i don’t plan to show them, i just want large, healthy, good-natured geese that roughly fit the breed standard. does anyone here have super africans from them? would you say they fit that...
EDIT: Problem solved — see my later post — they actually called me back about 15 min. after I posted this and are shipping me two replacements.
Hi all,
Hearing basically nothing but positivity about Metzer farms I ordered a small order of 3 ducklings to upstate NY. I knew the journey was long...
I gave my 3 week old fawn and white Indian runner duck from metzer farms a fright tonight by trying to change the duckling’s water whilst they were sleeping and she appeared to have a seizure.. she kind of squealed when she saw me and then fell over and twitched for several seconds. I thought...
Hello. I’m planing on ordering 3 female runner ducklings in the next couple of months. Possibly hatching eggs. I’ve been looking into Metzer Farms and Cackle Hatchery. Have you received ducks from either one; and if so what was your experience like? Are there other good hatcheries you can...
I live in Texas by Fort Worth and was wondering about how much it would cost to ship 20-25 ducklings to me. I’m ordering some welsh Harlequins. :jumpy
Has anyone here ever ordered from metzer farms? If so what was your experience, did the ducklings arrive healthy? How expensive was shipping( if...
Hi all! I have 2 new ducklings on the way from Metzer Farms. They'll be in on Wednesday. I lost my favorite buff duck, Luna, to a hawk earlier this month, so automatically when you loose 1 you gain 2 (duck math is a real thing)! After buckling down on our yard we decided to get another Buff and...
Hello!
So I just received an email from Metzer Farms letting me know my 2 female ducklings will be shipping out Monday and arriving Wednesday! (So excited & nervous)..
I have a bunch of last minute questions/double checking before they get here, if anyone can answer any I'd appreciate it!

Hello everyone. My new mallard ducklings arrived this morning from Metzer Farms. Two day shipping from California to Ohio. Very active and from what i can tell they are in good health. I did have an incident where one was biting the others wings and hurting it when i first put them in the...
I ordered two ducklings and when they arrived I got three! Not a bad surprise at all. But the two ducklings I ordered had bands on to let me know that they were females and the third had nothing on. Does that mean the third duckling is a boy? I can't keep a boy so if they sent me a third male...
