I ordered 3 from metzers when I ordered some layer hybrids, and I lost them all! they just didn't grow well and eventually just passed away despite a lot of attempts to nurse them up. Such bum luck

He kindly comped me for them (he certainly didn't have to!) and I'm getting 3 new hatches sent out tomorrow. So excited because I love them and they'd provide some great color to my bevy that otherwise consists of khakis, golden 300s and white layers. Even my hubby is getting bit by the duck bug-- I think once our laying is well established we'll have a bit more fun with ordering more exotic looking ducks!

I was wrong on the ages of my ducks. The welsh are 5 months and the runners are 4 1/2 months.

If it does turn out to be male and you paid for sexed females they will refund you

I had this happen to one of my sexed females from Metzer's

Beautiful birds, I didnt realize how beautiful welsh males are! I liked them because they layed good and I heard they were rwally friendly. But now I really cant wait till the male is big and pretty!
