Metzer has a pretty steady supply of birds. You should check out their web site. http://www.metzerfarms.com/index.cfmHello everyone! So i'm planning on raising ducklings this spring/summer, and just had a few questions for anyone willing to answer:
Ok so i'm still debating whether i should order hatching eggs, or simply the ducklings themselves. I'm keeping them as pets, so i want to have a strong bond with them, so would ordering ducklings weaken that?
Also, what is the best time to order the eggs/ducklings? I want to order from Metzer farms, so would i want to place an order pretty soon? Like do they have a limited supply/waiting list? And are you able to place an order for ducklings to be shipped in the next month or two?
And finally my last question (for now at least) i was looking into the breeds Pekin and Black Swedish, does anyone have any insight or comments i should know about these breeds? Do they get along alright? Would it be okay to have 3 of each or do i need an even number?

Thanks!
I spent HOURS on their site before I made a decision.
One bit of warning, the ordering process can be quite confusing. Dont press the confirm button until you are SURE. once you lock in the delivery date, its locked. and that is before the Paying process.... I wont go through all the details but I got my order fairly messed up. No real worries though Customer Service was great. Hope that helps.
I love Metzer...it's a shame that they don't carry call ducks.![]()
Where is cochrane AB? very sorry for your loss.What should I do with the one duck that I have left. These ducks were my pets so I don't want to get rid of him but I can't find anyone with ducks!!!!! I live near cochrane AB if you want me to pick up one of your ducks you don't want, I could even buy it, anything!! My duck is getting really depressed and scared, I don't know what to do![]()
