My Love Affair With Ducks...

[Enten4life]

Thank you it certainly was sad and it made me furious. It still does that’s why I respond to every post that ducklings show similar symptoms as mine did. I’m glad yours are ok though! What hatchery?

I'm not sure which hatchery. It was from mypetchicken.com and I know they shipped out of northern California.

Sounds like yours came from Metzer too, that's where they are, in Gonzales CA . Mypetchicken says CT. Isn't it so annoying!!!?

You can tell where your Dux are from by their accent.

You will have to sneak up on them when they are plotting. If they sound middle Eastern watch out, if they have a Brooklyn accent be careful.

If they sound like Valley girls they are from Ca, and might be ok, as long as you don’t expect much from them.

Did that help?

Okay I'll make sure to listen to all their secret conversations carefully

You will be surprised at what they talk about, it might make you sleep with one eye open even.

I think you are right. They came from Gonzales, CA for sure. And the website mentioned the ducks came from there vs their chickens. I always blamed the handling of my babies for one of them taking weeks and weeks to build trust with. But then again, being shipped is probably a traumatic experience and I felt guilty every hour they were in transit.

Haha mostly I hear "giant scary bird in sky!" and "mmm yummy food" or "where are you?" and "let us out!!"

Yep that's defiantly Metzer, ugh it's a monopoly. At least Mypetchicken had the decency to mention they were coming from somewhere else. I was very worried about my babies too.
