If I want to order ducklings from Holderread's, do I have to call or e-mail first, or do I just mail my check and order to them without confirming that they can fill the order?

I would have asked them, but I have read on here that they aren't speedy in their replies, and since so many people have ordered from them here, I thought it would be faster to get an answer going through you guys

Also... they state they need 4 goslings or 10 ducklings to keep them all warm enough. If I order the necessary number of ducklings, do I still need to order the necessary number of goslings (If I want both), or would having 10 ducklings in the box keep 2 goslings sufficiently warm?
 
I called and asked. Then I sent a money order. I didn't get my dates until I had E-mailed and asked them. I had a E-mail the next day saying they where getting dates set up. The following Monday I had my dates. The last hatch date on there site is the week of June 7th but they gave me the two weeks after that as alternate dates. I would not send a check this late. Give them a money order.
 
So it's necessary to call or email first?

On the website's online catalogue they state they work up to 20 hour days, and are very busy, so I don't want to keep them from their work if it's not necessary.
 
I communicated with them solely by email, but I also got my order in during the winter. They've marked on their website the breeds of ducks & geese they've sold out of, so you should check that first to make sure the breeds you want are still available. They also have some adult birds available, though I don't know if they ship those or not.

I also got 2 sexed goslings from Metzer, and I got exactly what I ordered and they're both very nice. They might be a better choice at this time of year.
