I have ordered shipped ducklings before twice from Metzer Farms. They have good stock and do good with communication if there is a problem. I did not want to order in March because of the colder nights but out of desperation did. Shipping is hard on them and I got fragile little Call Ducks to start with. One had problems but I was able to work with it and it is fine now. I would only trust Metzer myself as I have seen so many bad reviews from others on here from other hatcheries. I pray that your next shipment if you do decide to order again comes healthy to you. 69 hours is too long to be in transit for that many birds. Mine only took 2 days to get to me from Tennessee to Ohio but years ago I ordered Mallards and they came from California and were just fine. Welcome to BYC, it's a great site with lots of people willing to help you out.
