I saw one the other day I was going to buy. But it was too much money. The good thing about it was I knew it could never reproduce..



Also when owning dux it is required by law you have one RalphieDux, they are so sweet,

Who is RalphieDux?

 

[duluthralphie]

RalphieDux are great Dux that serve the cause of Ralphie by keeping the other dux in order.

@Mimi13 can attest to how great a RalphieDux is.

Nope.. RalphieDux are the only good dux there is, relatively speaking. You will have to wait until one of the dux sympathizers show up her and can show you a photo of one.

This is my review it won’t show publicly though.


I warn anyone who buys ducklings from Meyer Hatchery in Polk OH. Actually the ducklings don’t come from them. They come from Metzer Farms in Gonzales CA. We bought 5 Welsh Harlequins. It took them 3 days to arrive. One was dead upon arrival. Another one was incredible weak and on the verge of dying. And a different one wasn’t looking too good. We lost both those ducklings within the hour after arriving home. There should have been a heat pack. There was no mention of a heat pack or anything when we were checking out! I give them one star because their customer service is pretty good and they felt bad about the dead ducklings. And we still have 2 alive. I even called Metzer Farms twice in hopes of figuring out why the ducklings died in case it was Duck Virus Hepatitis. I was trying to ask if the ducklings parents had been vaccinated for the virus, because if their parents had been vaccinated then the antibodies would have been passed to the ducklings and I could rule out the virus as cause of death. But the costumer service lady was very short and cut me off and told me to take it up with Meyer Hatchery. And of course you guys wouldn’t know exactly what they were vaccinated for! Then I called again and asked directly if their breeder pairs were vaccinated for Duck Virus Hepatitis instead of trying to explain the situation like last time. She was still unhelpful and told me no she couldn’t find out today and that it was tax day. But Meyer Hatchery you need to state at the top of the duckling page in huge print that these ducklings are coming from Metzer Farms in Gonzales California!!! I will not be doing anymore business with either of these hatcheries ever again. I am very disappointed in the lack of honesty and not putting the ducklings lives before any business matters. It should have been stated clearly that the ducklings were coming from Metzer Farms. Thank you for reading and I seriously hope that you will make changes for future ducklings and customers sakes.

I’m sorry you lost her. I think they had something going around at the time and still may be.

Oh no! I am so sorry all that happened. Yes, I am very leery of babies traveling all that way.

Only by mistake!

Only by mistake!

I'm still confused as to what a RalphieDux is lol

They are tasty, and maybe cute,

Wolverines are tasty and cute but I sure wouldn’t raise them either.

You have eaten a wolverine? For real? Were you on the verge of starvation?
