Getting Cayuga Ducklings!!!!

[Sue S]

1st - I just want to Thank everyone that answered my questions about my females ( Rouens ) laying, nesting & going broody. When I saw that 1 of my females was nesting I went a little crazy with the questions & wanting her too go broody but after finding a 2nd nest & having a total of 26 eggs ( as of today ) & no broodiness happening!!! I decided to get rid of the eggs & not wanting to risk having ducklings with health issues ( my ducks are brother & sisters ). I decided to get a couple Cayuga ducklings to add to my Rouen flock, I originally was looking at Pekins but I like the looks of the Cayuga & I think they will mix nicely with my Rouens!!! I've never ordered from a hatchery so I need everyone's opinion, Metzer Farms or My pet chicken?????
P.S.
Also, opinions on Cayuga ducks, please & thanks!!!

I currently have pekins and I am waiting for an order from Meyer Hatchery that will be a Cayuga, black Swedish, and blue Swedish! So excited for the greyish eggs from the Cayuga! I received my first order of chicks from Meyer Hatchery yesterday and I could not be happier. All arrived happy and healthy, and their customer service is great!

I got mine from Cackle hatchery and i have not been happier. All ducklings arrived healthy and happy. they even included a extra duckling that also lived. I love the blue colored eggs I get from them and they mix well with my other ducks that include Rouen, Khaki Campbell, and a white duck that I think is a silver apple yard. I have 19 grown ducks and 5 ducklings as of right now.

I’m not sure about hatcheries, but Cayugas are definitely pretty ducks. I see the odd few Cayugas at shows, but they are a pretty uncommon breed here.

I cannot wait to see your runners. My wife says I have issues since I take more pictures of our runner than any of the other ducks.
