They have shipped!!!!!

[quackiemama]

Actually just a good guesser!

They will be fine ... Metzer's is known for high quality waterfowl that they ship all over with great success ...

That actually makes me feel better. I just called MM and they fessed up. I just told them communication would have been nice because I have been a ball of nerves

Wonder why they can ship out but Cackle says they won't ship into the parts of CA where New Castle is.

New Castle disease is down south in the LA area ... Gonzales is half way up the state, almost to San Francisco ...

California is about 800 mile from top to bottom ...

Thank you, I am a hot mess over here. BUT Metzers does have a good reputation so I feel better there, however I sure wish someone would have let me know from MM

We got Chuck and Buck from Metzer. Maybe there will be that whole 6 degrees of separation and they're actually related?

So ... I added up the costs ... comes out about the same ... duck prices are the "regular" Pekin's, not the Jumbo's.

Murry McMurray

3 - Pekin's $7.35 each - $22.05
Broiler Booster $8.95
Shipping $45.00

Total $76.00

--------------------

Metzer's

3 - Pekin's $8.49 each - $25.47
Gro-Gel* $0.00
Shipping $14.40
Small order charge $36.00 (they include a heat pack too)

Total $75.87

*Not sure if MM is sending you the Broiler Booster separately, as Metzer's doesn't carry that ... ? BB seems to be something you add to their water after you get them home ...

Metzer's modifies the shipping box to help hold the heat, and don't ship "extra's" on small orders.

They should be just fine.

Hmmm that is really interesting, I am feeling more confident they will be fine when they arrive. I am anxiously awaiting my call and have alerts from USPS on my phone. they are expected this afternoon at my post office. I cannot wait to get them home and safe and sound

I got the notice they are in the state of Maryland which is not that big so I should definitely have this afternoon. I feel like I am getting some kind of lesson in having patience or something.
