A huge thank you for the wonderful ducklings I've received from you over the last two years. They have brought us so much JOY and purpose.

I would like to tell you that a Brown China hen that I bought from you has done very well for me. I took her to a show and out of twenty-two geese she took Reserve Grand Champion Goose. She took Champion Goose at a small show with only four geese and she took Champion Goose and Reserve Waterfowl at another. I plan on taking her to other shows in the fall to see how she does and I will let you know.

The average live weight of the 200 ducklings we market is over eight pounds at seven weeks.

I ordered a trio of French Toulouse from you in June of this year. I just wanted to write and tell you how impressed I am with them! They arrived all bright eyed and running around. They had devoured every single piece of grogel in the box.
Sheila from Iron City, Tennessee
Just wanted to thank you for the beautiful Welsh Harlequin and Indian Runner ducklings, and two Buff goslings that I ordered from you. They arrived right on schedule this past Wednesday full of spunk and healthy appetite. They are growing fast and are gorgeous!

We just wanted to let you know that 120 beautiful and active Pekin ducks arrived today at our farm. We are so appreciative of your amazing business and look forward to seeing these guys grow.

Hello, I just called you to tell you how great you are. The ducks are in fine condition and have doubled their size in a week. Out of 5 stars I'm giving you 6.

Dolores from Cashmere, Washington
I'm a very small customer having purchased only 11 ducks/geese over this year and last. I really appreciate the personal attention many businesses reserve only for their big clients. Love me some Metzer. lol
Eric from Lexington, North Carolina
I showed my Brown Chinas that I got from you at all our local New England Shows (Boston, New Hampshire, Little Rhody and others). Your geese were among the best quality out here and I just wanted to say thank you for being responsible for one of the best experiences of my childhood.
Ralph from Rowley, Massachusetts
Thank you very much for being a pleasure to work with. My ducklings arrived Wednesday morning, just as you said, all healthy but jetlagged - ready for a brooder and a good meal. I wanted to thank you for excellent customer service from Kelly, who I had the pleasure of speaking with a couple times. She was very reassuring to me. Keep doing what you are doing!
Maureen from Madison, Wisconsin
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
Hi, I order 12 Swedish blue duck eggs about 2 weeks ago. They arrived quickly from all the way across the country and damage free. Last night my wife, our two boys and I candled them for the first time and all but 3 showed signs of life. It was amazing to see the tiny flicker of a heart beat beginning. So I wanted to say thank you for your services.
