Where does everyone order their runner ducklings from?

I got mine from Metzer - not show quality but healthy ducks with good temperaments and decent egg layers. Here are their Recent pics:








They don't have the real long necks / super-slender frame / vertical stance (they all walk at about the same slant as the first pic).

They are less flighty than I have heard show runners are. They have the runner "laugh" talking sound. They do walk more than waddle.

If you want to show them, go elsewhere if you want pets/eggs, I am VERY happy with mine.

AFAIK Murray McMurray Hatchery waterfowl come from Metzer. This would be handy if you were ordering chickens and ducks at the same time since you could get them on one order. But duck quality should be identical.

Has anyone ordered from Johnson's Waterfowl?

That's awesome! I was actually thinking of doing that exactly in April when the minimum is 15 birds!

Mine also came from Metzer. Very much pet/back yard flock quality but they have great personalities and mine are very friendly. I would order from them again.

I am looking for better quality. Any suggestions?
