Just for the record, John Metzer and staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and the birds....through the years! are very fine quality, at least in my experience. These days it's rare to find such a great customer service!

I just wanted to let you know we received our ducks last Wednesday morning and could not be more pleased. They both just love to snuggle, it made it very hard to give them away. I am having duck withdrawls. But they made the perfect gift for my nephews 30th birthday and house warming party. They were the hit of the party!

My four assorted runners were shipped Tuesday afternoon, and I was able to pick them up from my local post office Wednesday morning. They were chirping and very lively right from the beginning. After seeing the shipping package set-up Metzger Farms uses to ship ducks, my wife is no longer worried about buying ducks through the mail. We will definitely be buying birds from you again :)
Juan from Fresno, California
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.
Pam from Aurora, Oregon
I just received the blown eggs I ordered yesterday. I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated the care you took in the packing of the eggshells. It has been a while since I've ordered any shells to work on and, honestly, I have some bad memories of how most orders were packaged. Thank you so much for setting such a high standard and when I do need more eggshells, I will be contacting you again.
Karen from Asheboro, North Carolina
I just wanted to send a quick message to say how impressed I am with our purchase from you. My daughter, who is 15 years old, ordered 6 various breeded ducklings. They all arrived alive and healthy. They are about 10 days old now, and they are doing very well. She is one very happy young lady!
Tege from Groveton, New Hampshire
I just got my shipment! These babies seem to be active and alert! Thank you so very much for all of your help and kind assistance! You guys made a lonely duckling very happy this morning! Thank you so much!
Rustie from Semmes, Alabama
We have always been pleased with your product, how you do business, and I recommend your birds whenever I can.
Susan from Lincoln, California
After speaking to one of your employees on the phone however, they were able to work with me and find a much closer ship date! I can't wait to receive my new babies! I will be referring Metzer Farms to all of my poultry friends!
Sara from Clermont, Georgia
All four babies arrived looking well and are already figuring out their new surroundings. Thank you so much! I've hatched and raised Silver Applyards before and they have been by far and away my absolute favorite breed, so I'm excited to watch these little ladies grow!
Liz from Farmington, Utah
Thank you so much for your quick response and also for answering quite a few questions of mine about incubating. I will definitely order from you again!
Robin from Pantego, North Carolina
I ordered 20 straight run French Pearl Guineas and got them back in June...I am a big fan of Guineas and had them forever. This is by far the nicest flock of birds I've ever had.
Ed from Waverly, Virginia
Just wanted to say thank you!! I received my babies this morning and they are all doing great!
