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.

I received my shipment of 30 blown goose eggs today. They were packed beautifully and in very good shape! I was very impressed with the outstanding condition of the eggs and how clean they were. I will certainly order from you again!
Tamma from La Mesa, California
Thank you for all you and everyone there has done for us. We are hopeful that our future will allow us to winter in California and summer in Montana. I really hope our paths will cross. Wishing you all the very best.
Jim & Wendy from Riverside, Washington
Thank you for the wonderful service. I wanted to thank you for being patient with me. I have sent a lot of messages to you guys about my eggs arriving. They arrived a couple hours ago and they are perfect.
Erica from Cove, Oregon
We have always won with your geese and especially Jumbo Pekins. They just don't have much in WI for waterfowl. My order usually arrives with very low if any mortality considering it comes half way across the US. Thanks again.

Hello, I just got my first shipment of ducks from you guys, just wanted to thank you for how nice they looked. They had an awesome setup in their shopping box and couldn't have looked happier when they arrived. Thank you I I can't wait for my other shipments to come in.
Andrew from Ukiah, California
My ducklings arrived this morning in great shape plus thank you for the extra!
Nancy from Reedley, California
The rest of the ducklings and geese we got on April 14th are thriving. They're getting so big we need to move them to a larger pen today. I figured it would take 3-4 weeks for them to get this big since birds from other hatcheries took that long. Definitely some quality birds. Thanking you with gratitude.
Ed from Eden, New York
Just wanted to say our ducks arrived and are doing good. Thanks!
KrisAnn from Lola, Texas
Got a phone call this morning from the Post Office, just got the girls home. They are in amazingly great shape, little to no travel stress observed. Drinking, eating and zooming around the brooder. Thank you so much! Warm Regards.
Bob from Elburn, Illinois
We would love a replacement please and thank you so much. Any random duck will be just fine. Thank you so much for the wonderful customer service. It's my first time ordering from Metzer and I'll be sure to do so again in the future. You all have been absolutely amazing.
Miriah from Batesville, Arkansas
Just wanted to let you know that our ducklings arrived safe and sound and, of course, cute as can be. I appreciate the "extra helping" of 2-very kind of you!! They are all chowing down and quite active so I'll take that as a good sign.
Lisa from Carrollton, Georgia
My ducks are healthy and as happy as the day I got them from USPS. You guys are hands down the best. You guys are a breath of fresh air and care just as much about the ducks as if they were still on your farm in California. Please continue the good work you do.
Alex from Saint James, Minnesota
Received 12 duck eggs plus one extra at begging of July. Turned every eight hours and sprayed with water until day 25. Temperature kept at 99.5. Just hatched 11 nice ducklings and am very satisfied. Thanks
Pete from Drums, Pennsylvania
