Just another have you ordered from this hatchery thread can i see pics

[KansasKid]

Well after much arguing with a person from metzer, and re-sending emails over and over, then having to point out the fact that i was truly sending the emails to the email it has on there site (which they didn't know about) i finally submitted my 6 spelling and grammar errors to them for my gift certifcate (6x$20=$120) well today i got the certificate for $100 (i'm done arguing with them) but before sending my order i was wondering if those past buyers could share any pictures of there birds so i can get the over all gist of the quality of there birds.

If you could please help me out by showing me
Welsh harlequin
Cayuga
blue and black runner

or possible if you just feel like sharing anything else..

I know its a goose but Sebastopol's too.

Well I'm sorry that I can't post pics yet. My ducks are coming from Metzer's in 7 days. I'm getting 2 Pekins, so when I get them I can tell you their quality, and send you pics. Aside from that I have heard great things about Metzer's, and their ducks. Sorry I couldn't be much help!

That's alright. Before ordering anything i just want to see all the imperfections that could possibly come with them seeing as there hatchery quality.

My Metzer babies
I loved this little blue girl but she died at 9 weeks. She was all motled up with white, greys and blacks and even brown

This is my other blue girl, shes a dark blue with black laceing round her feathers, shes pretty but I like the paler blue

This is how mine stand. Foulman called them the short & fat Runners.

Sorry I cant help you with black...I dont have black

(i love runners)

my last runner stood like yours did. She was black and had the most brilliant feathers and otherwise would have made APA standards.
I hatched out her daughter and the runner body style is completely bred out and is more or less a black mallard.

I have never ordered ducklings from them, but I ordered eggs. These are the runner ducks I hatched from the eggs. They are hatchery quality, but very nice ducks.

Here are my show quality runners to compare. My blue drake in the first picture doesn't have his drake feathers as they had just arrived and the fawn duck crawled all over him during shipping. They finally settled down, but getting them as adults they are not as friendly as the ones I hatched in an incubator.

Oh Tia, that last pic is a nice duck, what color is she classed as. She is pretty

She is a buff runner. I call her Buffy.
