Have you both had decent experiences with getting them shipped quickly? Most places I’ve looked at have ship dates wayyy off from now!

Hey @WVduckchick, I hear you have eggs… what kinds?

for me, healthy ducklings, shipped safely, and good customer service are much more important than being shipped quickly.

I only have Call ducks now (well, chickens and pigeons too, but I think we’re just talking ducks?)

I have 39 call ducks at the moment (16 eggs currently incubating) and they all run together. No breeding pens, etc, so about any color/combo is possible… except white. I lost my last white call ducks last year.
I’m sending out 3 dozen today, but I seem to have small windows when I find more eggs. The girls eventually start hiding their eggs and hoarding them for themselves, so it’s not always easy to have eggs available.

100% agree! I simply meant some sites were saying it could be late this year, possibly next year! I wasn’t demanding instant birds, just was hoping to get them this year!

Oh. My. Goodness. They are SO adorable!! Now, I’ve never been around call ducks before. They are like bantam chickens… but it duck form, correct?
