Gave Ideal Poultry a second chance...

Still not impressed

I split an order with someone so that there would be more warmth in the box and I ordered 6 snowy mallards this time instead of 3 like last time. They only sent 5 and 3 of them were DOA

they shipped out yesterday and I received the call 5am this morning so they were not in transit very long. *sigh* at least I got two tiny cuties out of it. I bought straight run so I am not sure of the sexes. I am

they are a male and a female. are snowy mallards sexable by appearance?

Oftentimes it's not the hatchery, but the actual handling. Doesn't matter how QUICK handling was, does matter how rough it is.

I've ordered from ideal many times and never had an issue with an abnormal number being DOA. Most of my orders are complete plus extras, and are sturdy upon arrival. Since you had such a high loss, call them and let them know - they WILL replace them at no charge.

Already called them. Had them refund my money, dont want to bother with it any more.
