Ducklings didn't arrive today :(

[andrea1215]

I ordered ten ducklings and two goslings from Metzer, they all hatched Monday. They didn't arrive today, and I called Metzer to confirm that they shipped all of mine on Monday, which they had. I did pay the extra $.05 per bird for the Gro-gel, so I am hoping that will hold them over until tomorrow. Any tips if they arrive tomorrow? I am praying that they are all ok and we have no losses.

Get them water as soon as they arrive. That's the best thing because they have been without access to water.

My ducklings didnt arrive until Thursday, when i got them from Metzer's. I also added the grow gel and they arrived in good shape. Your ducklings should be fine. Good luck and let us know when they arrive.

Ours shipped on a Monday and didn't arrive until Thursday. We had gro-gel as well. Everyone was happy and healthy, if a bit hungry and thirsty. You should be fine!

They all arrived this morning safe and sound! They are all so cute, active and messy.

Yay! Glad they made it ok. Such a nerve-wracking wait, isn't it?
