Back in late March I ordered my first ducks ever,
1 Black Swedish hen
1 Khaki Campbell hen
1 Welsh Harlequin hen
1 Welsh Harlequin drake
They should ship on May 2nd and I will post updates and photos on here to satisfy the need for baby floofballs. I can't wait! I have Everything I need ready, brooder bin, heat lamp, fresh bulb, waterer, chick starter grower, nutritional yeast, and probably a bunch of other stuff that I don't need but got anyways. Now all I need is the ducklings.

I got my girls from this farm too! April 25th babies are now double in size. I have two blue runners and one fawn they are sweet as can be buy very messy.

Ok, so my mom was thinking and I agree with her. I had gotten poison ivy all over my hands a couple weeks ago and its still healing and she says it could be that my skin is really sensitive right now and since the ducklings feathers are coming in and they have a lot of dander right now and that's why it could be bothering my skin. So I'm going to keep them until they are fully feathered at least so I really know.

They grow so fast. My older Lab keeps looking for the ducklings because the brooder(bathtub) is already set up and they are supposed to ship today.

so exciting! Does it give you a delivery date yet?

No but they'll probably be here tomorrow.

And did it end up shipping from the new facility closer to you?

I read on the website that if you aren't in California it automatically ships from Memphis.

Oh really?? I just ordered some from metzer over the weekend and I’m in UT so I hope they don’t come from Memphis! I purposely ordered from metzer cause were right by CA.

Because they ship with FedEx the ducklings outside of CA were all shipping to the Memphis sorting center before going to their destination. That is why they opened the Memphis site -babies go strait to their new homes.
