The Appleyards keep up a pretty constant chatter, just wish we knew about what! Usually one leads off with a really loud, Groucho Marx sound, then there is a chorus of quacking until they all get it out of their system for a few minutes. Also there is almost constant head bobbing, which we've read can be flirting or a sign of happiness. They keep all the fruit trees and grape vines well pruned at least a few inches about their heads.

Thank you guys for all your help and patience with all my questions last week. It goes a long way to show me that us small family farms are just as important to you as the big guys.

The ducklings arrived this morning and picked them up around 8:30am. They all are safe and sound. Thank you for an excellent job shipping them.

Emily from Clymer, New York
No question, just wanted to say that the babies arrived healthy and way earlier then last time! Thank you guys so much!
Joe from South Salem, New York
Thank you so much for the fantastic service! My goslings arrived safe and healthy. They are some of the best looking goslings I've even seen. They were so cozily packed up and they still had so much spunk when we opened them up. This was my first time ordering birds through the mail and it was an ideal experience. I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the work you did to make my order perfect.
Masha from Hebron, Maine
They were wonderful with info and patience when trying to figure out regarding another mate for Hamilton...not like Metzer Farms didn't have other important things to do. I even drove down after work to pick up ElizaRose they set aside for me.

Got my baby ducks this morning. The health and activeness of these ducks was unbelievable. I have ordered baby birds for years and have never gotten birds that were so nice and active.

I am here to tell you that your Blue Swedish ducks are FANTASTIC. The show I went to was the Rocky Mountain Feather Fanciers show in Brighton, CO. I ended up winning reserve medium duck for the futurity part of the show, but in the traditional I ended up winning Champ Medium duck, Champ Showmanship in the senior division, and Champion waterfowl by a JR.
Nathan from Penrose, Colorado
I want to thank Metzer Farms for my reshipment of ducklings arriving safe and sound! They are lively and doing great and my children than you for the great variety. I'd take a picture, but they are too lively to stay still for one!
Yolanda from Easton, Maryland
I just wanted you to know how pleased I am with the duck eggs I ordered. All that were fertile at candling (8 eggs covering 3 different breeds) hatched yesterday and this morning. Everyone looks healthy and happy.
Karen from Arcata, California
Just wanted to reach out and thank you all for making the process so smooth! Our ducklings arrived happy and healthy. All five have made it to the one week old mark without any health issues or complications. Their markings match APA standards perfectly and their temperaments are incredible. We can really tell how much care and expertise you all put into it all. So from us, and our new five ducklings thank you!
