I'm getting 2 runners 3 rouens an 5 khakis an i cant wait but im not even ordering them till next month!!! i still cant wait!!! lol. i ha one little runner but my dog kille her so im a little sad but still happy!!!!
just got off the phone with Millie again and they were short on silkies again this week so they decided to wait and put me on top of the list for their extra hatch. so, two more weeks of waiting
but it will be worth it!!! I also called sandhill and they are having bad hatch rates so expecting that order to ship in two weeks also.
You are right, you can't really change anything, roll with the punches.
I also talked with Millie last night for a few minutes(very nice lady). She informed me of some changes and she wanted to apologize for forgetting the rest of my order. They ran out of Saxony on Tuesday(which is why she apologized for forgetting my order) and mine order got shipped yesterday. They substituted the 'Deluxe Runner Assortment' for the Saxony. They shorted me on Cayugas but then added more Magpies. I am a little disappointed BUT you gotta roll with it I guess. I kinda have to give them some slack because they are relying on nature to provide everything - fertility rate, weather, and hatchlings. Having grown up on a 1500 acre farm - I get it.
All in all, I am more than happy with them. I have found some Saxony ducklings (from Holderread stock) locally but I will be paying nearly double the price
OR I can place another order next year...hhmmmm...... ducks and geese.....hhmmmm.....
