I was wondering about your ducklings all day. I wonder why Metzer's forgot your drake. Oh well. I hope you can accommodate one more. Hopefully, he will arrive on a weekday so he doesn't have to wait over the weekend.

They're so cute! I think they're going to be fine, too.
 
Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. It's even harder when you put your heart into saving them and it's just not enough...

I am so sorry

They will not ship a lone duckling, and therefore are throwing in a companion for him. Because he is a freebie it is their choice. I don't have a say in it. I won't know the sex or breed of duck it will be. I am hoping for a girl myself. At least it will be fun trying to figure out what I have.

I know, but I'm wondering if you can request a specific duck for his pal on the ride and just pay for the duck/sexing since they have to ship 2 regardless. They were going to send me a real blue duck since that's what I ordered (ended up with a silver - that I'm more than happy with), but I didn't want 2 more at that time, so I passed. I didn't get past that part. If I have all runners, I don't want just some random duck and with only a few ducks, I want to be picky about gender. Just wondering if you had tried to see if you could get them to be specific with the pal for the ride by paying for it to be specific (without having to make it a complete new order). Like I said, I didn't get past the I didn't want 5 ducklings at the time, so I didn't ask when the offered to send a new blue.

They marked on the receipt that he was shipped, but he was not in the box. I freaked out at first because I thought he was buried under the heat pack or bedding. Nope, he wasn't there. Apparently, they hired a bunch of new people, and they are in training. Newbies!! Hard to find good help these days.

They will be shipped out next Monday. Looks like I will be making another 3AM run, again. Oh well, it's so worth it.

Oh, I see what you are saying. I will give them a call tomorrow and see what they say. Had they sent a drake and duck, I would have probably stuck with just the two of them...But we want a drake. Thx

I called Metzer Farms today, and I can order another Welsh Harlequin. I just have to pay the $7.05 to have the duckling sexed. So, they will be sending out our drake and another female on Monday. Thanks for the advise.

Also, Ashley at Metzers, has been very helpful. You all were correct in that they do have great customer service.
