I order my duckling from Holderread. I read a lot nice things about them. I'm getting them in April and yes they are going to be shipped to me. I read the book Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks great book. Now I have to wait for the warm weather and it doesn't look good, more snow for us on Monday!

This has been one CRAZY winter season.

The video page I mentioned isn't working for me so I will have to try it on another computer while I finish up my duck house plans.

Picked up everything but the duck house supplies today. Going out tomorrow with the DH for that.

I have always ordered all of my ducks from Holderread's. I would not order from Metzer's, as I would not trust a hatchery who's own picture of the breed on its website shows a female with an eye stripe. Welsh Harlequin's are NOT supposed to have eye stripes!

My PO lady called and said "You were supposed to be getting a call from me to get your ducks, but they are not here yet and I can't track them down."

Not the call I wanted to get this morning. Hopefully they will be on the afternoon truck.

Oh noes! Hope they find your duckies!

Thank you both for the thoughts. Crossing my fingers! If not this afternoon my hope is it's bright and early tomorrow morning. I just hope I don't lose them. :/ I know things like this happen, but that doesn't make it any better when it does.

I will be sure to keep you all updated.

Can you pick them up from the local distribution center? I'm not entirely clear on the nomenclature. The place they go before they get to your local post office?

 

[amandamc]

I wish I could. I would make the drive in a heartbeat, but I am not sure that they are even there and the PO couldn't tell me if they were either.
I will be calling my local distribution center once they open for calls.
On the bright side if I can pick them up I know my car will be warmer than the delivery truck.

Edit : Apparently they don't like getting phone calls about a living breathing shipment. I had better treatment when I had a kimono lost in the mail for a month. That being said, I was told they are emailing the center and searching.
