I Was ordering from Cal Hatchery first. My neighbor got a few chicks, my friend got a few chicks and I ordered ducks. With everything we ordered, we were above the amount for the small order fee. After I made the purchase, my ducklings got cancelled because they have to be ordered separately and I was left in charge of safely delivering the chicks to the proper homes. Once the ducks were no longer coming, I decided to order from Metzer because their small order fee is less than Cal Hatch. While reading reviews, I saw all very great things people had to say. From the moment I opened the box and saw double ducks and then even until this day, I’m just constantly confused, flustered, and kinda bummed. I love the ducklings and I think im going to keep the males despite having too many males already (sorry future hubby), because I know I’ll figure something out and give them a far better life than if they were to get rehomed elsewhere. BUT the future hubs who is not fond in the slightest of having poultry, has agreed to go pick up some pullets to integrate into our zoo. The existing male ducks did kill one chicken, but my other chicken I think had a preexisting internal issue which caused her to die in my arms. So from having 4 hens, I’m down to 2. Life isn’t perfect, but it’s all gonna be ok.From all I have read about Metzers this isn’t the norm
