Shipping adult ducks

[janastasio]

Wondering if anyone has ever had adult ducks shipped before? I just ordered 2 adult call ducks. They shipped out yesterday and are not expected to arrive until tomorrow at 3pm. This seems concerning to me. Can they really go that long without food or water? I had bad dreams all night last night about them arriving dead.

Yes, they generally do just fine as long as they arrive by the second day at the latest and the temperature is okay.

I second that. I have shipped out and received thousands over the years, all do just fine, especially this time of year when it's nice and cool

Thank you so much for the responses. That makes me feel much better! Hopefully they will arrive happy, healthy, and thirsty tomorrow!

Sounds good, pre congrats on your new arrivals. Post some pics when you get them settled!
