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.

No questions. Compliments. My lil' girls arrived Thur....Thank you for these beautiful lil' girls. Wish I had room for more ducks. They have qualities hens do not. A sense of humor. And it is very fun to hunt with them as partners when I am working in the yard.
Karen from Charlotte, North Carolina
I just wanted to reach out and say I was very happy with my experience with your company! Our ducklings arrived happy, healthy and a whole day earlier than expected.
Alycia from Boise, Idaho
Knowing exactly what dates our ducks would be hatching and then shipped made the ordering process the most seamless I've ever done with any business. It truly was a pleasure doing business with the Metzer Farm Family and I look forward to doing business with you again.

I just picked up ten Khaki Campbell ducklings from the post office and am now sharing them with my fourth grade class. They are all healthy, beautiful, and climbing on top of each other. Thank you all for taking great care in hatching and shipping them safely.

For the last shipment of 2000 ducklings that we picked up at a freezing airport, we only had one dead duckling when we got home. Normally we market 1980-2000 ducklings from each shipment of 2040 ducklings (including the 40 extra).
Jim from Mt Pleasant Mills, Pennsylvania

Susan from Akron, Ohio
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!
Tara from North Scituate, Rhode Island
Thank you so much though we will definitely be ordering from you in the future!!! Thank you for understanding!!
Amanda from Saint Ansgar, Iowa
Let me just compliment you on your Cornish Cross chickens. I have always held you guys up as the premier duck hatchery. Let me just say that these birds have outperformed any hatchery I have brought from in the last few years. These birds are huge and unaffected by the Summer heat. I look forward to continuing to order ducks as well as chickens from you all. Thank you!
Derek from Seymour, Tennessee
I would like you to know how much you helped me today with figuring out how to raise my goslings to manage our incredible amount of rain. More than anything, your advice game me confidence about raising my goslings, calming, helpful and kind people like you are wonderful. Ashley, you are a blessing for "newbies" like myself.
Vicki from Rock Island, Texas
Thank you for your excellent customer service! My goslings arrived safe and sound today and faster than expected!
Hilary from Pryor, Oklahoma
Our ducks arrived a few days ago. Because we live in Alaska, they had been in transit for over a day. They arrived healthy and a little frantic (which I took as a sign of outstanding intelligence). I was worried that the fate of 4, one day old ducks, when sent on a cross continental postal odyssey, would not be a good one. But Helga, Belinda, Gwendolyn and Beeky are doing great. Thanks so much.
Vanessa from Anchorage, Alaska
Thank you for all your help with my wife on the phone. We made all the recommended changes and this batch of ducklings is doing very well.
James from Spokane, Washington
The birds arrived this morning and they are in great shape. Thank you so much.
