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.

Thanks so much for your time and assistance. We love your company and have always had the most healthy babies arrive. We may order a couple of babies.
Erin from Magalia, California
My fabulous 4 duckies we got in April are doing wonderful here on the farm and very clean and spoiled little bossy babies. Ya'll truly do have some beautiful healthy babies and I've been extremely happy with them. My plan is to make sure to get a few more in the future and visit other options as well since this has been the best experience we have had to date! Please send our thanks and blessings to everyone on your farms and teams who raise, care for and love all these breeds of feathered goodness. We appreciate ya'll so very much!

Kaleigh from Cedar Springs, Michigan
I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the care you took in getting the duck eggs I ordered shipped to me. I had trouble finding a local place to get duck eggs to hatch. I was leary of ordering online. The eggs were packaged so well and I received them In Pennsylvania all intact. My four kids are excited to go through the process. I know you may only receive complaints. I candled my 14 eggs and only two are questionable. I am very happy with my experience and would recommend you in the future!
April from Millerstown, Pennsylvania
Thank you so much, Ashley, for taking the time to answer all my questions so promptly, and for helping to alleviate some of my concerns. I appreciate you!
Sandy from Escondido, California

Joe from South Salem, New York
These two geese you sent me are SO lively and healthy! I am excited to watch them grow. The post office called me at 5:30am and I bounded out of bed so fast! When I peeked in the box, they immediately came towards me, chattering away. I cannot get over how lively they are!
Christina from Cotati, California
We just wanted to tell you how excited we are, the first egg hatched today in the 4th grade classroom at Surfside Elementary. It is a beautiful baby Mallard. Thanks for all the wonderful eggs and the information on your website. The kids are so happy. We candled them twice and the kids were able to see movement in most of the eggs.
Erika from Ind. Harbour Beach, Florida
The ducklings arrived this morning and all appear to be in great shape. Thank you so much. You folks rock!
Jeff from Basehor, Kansas
