Hello to everyone at Metzer farms! A big thank you to all! We received our khaki campbells yesterday and they are healthy, active and of course adorable! Looking forward to raising them in our small backyard homestead with their little chickie sisters! Peace to you all! Susan and Mark Vazzana 😎Mark & Susan from Vero Beach, Florida
We received a much anticipated phone call from our local post office early this morning that our birds had arrived. We now have 2 strong and vibrant African Gray Female goslings and 3 beautiful female Khaki Campbell Ducklings. We are truly grateful for the new additions to our homestead. Thanks for all that you guys do, it’s very much appreciated.Bamby from Baxley, Georgia
Hi Metzer - I just want to take a moment to say thank you. In December (four months ago), you sent us some Rouen ducklings. Just wanted to let you know that after taking watchful care of them, they are now beautiful, happy, ducks. We are a family in Connecticut with four kids, and we all love the duckies so much! They are the best pets we could ever have imagined. We have so much fun playing with them and taking care of them. They have injected so much happiness into our home. We named them Giggles, Hope, Apricot, & Nutmeg. Lately, they have been trying to fly. Every day is a fun new adventure with them. Can't thank you enough!Emily from New Canaan, Connecticut
Omgosh I’m so glad I had faith in Metzer! Got up at 5. Only notification I got from tracking was - arrived 3:55 at local Post Office! Picked them up 5:30 am. Swear they’ve already grown. Thank u so much. I know you ship hundreds, but to me they are singularly precious so thanks for tolerating my helicopter Duck mom-ness. Gratefully.Judy from Denver, Colorado
Just wanted to reach out and thank you all for making the process so smooth! Our ducklings arrived happy and healthy. All five have made it to the one week old mark without any health issues or complications. Their markings match APA standards perfectly and their temperaments are incredible. We can really tell how much care and expertise you all put into it all. So from us, and our new five ducklings thank you!Abigail from Tampa, Florida
We picked up our new little male today from the post office. My children were delighted. Thank you so much for all of your help and your exceptional customer service. I just wanted you to know how much we appreciate the replacement and your kindness. Thank you again. Very best regards.Margaret from Jamesville, New York
Hi - We are writing to let you know that, we just picked up our goselings/Ducklings order, and praise the Lord each and every single one of them arrived alive. When we heard their peeps on the post office, is like we heard the heaven sing. Thank You for everything you do at all times. We appreciate it 🌷Michael & Gina from Sterling, Colorado
You guys are a class act. I received my order of 6 Mallard eggs, plus 2 extra. They were packaged so well. I think they would've survived a train wreak. I had my Brinsea incubator set up, and double and triple checked the settings for their arrival. I candled them after a week. Seven of the 8 eggs are fertile and appear to be thriving. Pics to follow in about 18 days + or -. I’m a very happy new customer! 😎Ken from Oakwood, Texas
Thank you so much for the fantastic service! My goslings arrived safe and healthy. They are some of the best looking goslings I've even seen. They were so cozily packed up and they still had so much spunk when we opened them up. This was my first time ordering birds through the mail and it was an ideal experience. I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the work you did to make my order perfect.Masha from Hebron, Maine
Thank you very much for that. I would have been happy with just the 2, but you have gone far and beyond for me!!! I will refer you to everyone I know looking for birds, and if you have a Facebook page I would love to write a great review for you and your company. Again, thank you so much, and I look forward to doing business with you again soon.Chris from Williamstown, Vermont
Oh that is so awesome of you guys. I was not expecting a refund. Thank you! And that is great there was a probiotic. I will make sure I refer people to you guys. I am really liking the shape of chick's, hydration, bedding and customer service. You're fantastic. Thank you again so much!Stevie from Redding, California
I just want you to know how happy I am to get these little ducklings.... So thank you so very much for being able to get me my specific breed and a female that means a lot. The care and reviews you have on your website showed the care you put into your ducks! Thank you!Stephanie from Florence, Kentucky
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
I just wanted to reach out and say that the Silver Appleyard ducklings that I ordered arrived in amazingly wonderful condition this morning. They were not stressed in the least and seemed very content in their shipping container. Thank you very much and I will certainly order from you again and will highly recommend you to my friends.Kristina from Pittsburg, Illinois
Good morning, [I'm] just letting you know that the order arrived all for baby female Peking ducks were in great shape. They’re now in the hatchery, got heat lamp on, they’re eating well, drinking well, and I’m so pleased with your performance... I’ll let everybody know that I know. Again thank you very much and the birds are all GOOD.Chuck from Harleysville, Pennsylvania
Letting you know I picked up my ducklings this morning from the Post Office. They arrived healthy and active and 100% cute! They have been drinking, eating, and are finding their way back to the heat platform for regular naps. All is well in the brooder. Looking forward to their continued growth. Thanks so much!Catherine from Sugar Hill, Georgia
It was my son's 8th birthday and we were over the moon when we received the call from the Post Office that the girls had arrived. They are such wonderful pets and we are so happy with our purchase. They are fun, hilarious, smart, and messy members of the family. The kids make a point to say goodnight to them every night. Sincerely, Very Happy Customers and Very Happy Ducks (Charlotte, Delilah, and Daisy)Kelly from Placerville, California
I've already started cooking with (the eggs) and gosh, are they delicious! Thank you for providing this resource all the way to Texas. I've had no luck finding duck eggs in my area (already in cold season) so finding your site was a little miracle. Thanks for doing what you do!Andrea from Abilene, Texas
We just order a few ducklings from you and we are so excited!! I loved everything I read about you and the excellent reviews, I couldn’t have ordered from anyone else. We are already looking into getting some goslings in the spring. Thank you so much and we look forward to doing a lot more business with you in the future.Lindsey from New Town, North Dakota
Well, our new "peeps" arrived today, safe and sound! The Black Swedish are omg adorable. Those little black feet and bill! My first love will always be the Pekin, but these lil black and yellow floofs are quickly winning my heart. Thank you so very much for taking the time to speak with me and address all our concerns. Our flock is now 6 strong, and we couldn't be happier. I just wanted you to know they got here fine, and we're on another duckling adventure. Thank you again. You guys rock!Stacey from Alturas, California
I had a wonderful experience with your farm. I ordered 6 Indian runner ducks... I would like to give you more of my business in the future as I have a small farm in which I would like to grow slowly to a larger farm. This was our first time with an on line and in the mail order and delivery. You all were very nice. Especially Tory who was the associate whom helped me. Thank you very much. I plan on doing business with you in the near future. And, I'll let all my farmer friends know about you as well.Cynthia from Taylors, South Carolina
I just wanted to let you know that we had a good experience using y'all as our exclusive cornish cross supplier for all 860 cornish chicks on our farm. Our chicks almost always arrived healthy and the rare times they didn't it was easy to fix with customer service. We look forward to additional business with you in 2023!Paul & Bri from Lansing, North Carolina
Hi - I’ve had my babies about 24 hours and I just wanted to let y’all know how impressed I am. I had reservations ordering a baby animal thru the internet and having them mailed but as soon as I opened the box they were so happy. I have 2 beautiful, healthy, lively ducklings and I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you! I love them. BTW- The Black Cayuga is named Chanel and the Runner is Coco.Katherine from Euless, Texas
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
I just wanted to thank all of you at Metzer Farms. We had an unfortunate incident at my small farm and my beloved ducks were killed. I ordered 2 babies from you and could not be happier! While we will always miss Stella and Aflac, the 2 babies you sent us have brought back our joy of having ducks. They are the sweetest little girls and we are so in love with them! Thank you for letting us enjoy having ducks again!Nancy from Riverview, Florida
Thank you very much! We have used 2 other hatcheries for YEARS, and this is our first experience with your company. As I said before, dealing with your company has been a positive experience. I believe we will be using Metzer from now on. Thank you again. Have a blessed day! Looking forward to more purchases in the near future.Stephanie from Bessemer, Alabama
Just wanted to say thanks - We picked up the two Muscovy ducklings we ordered yesterday and they’re extremely healthy, pretty and friendly! Y’all did an awesome job shipping them and keeping them happy during the trip. If we order any more ducks, they will definitely be from you guys!Jenna from Camden, Indiana
I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with my order of four ducks a few weeks ago and very happy with my order of six geese. It was amazing to me how healthy and vibrant they were when I received them here in Pennsylvania and it only took a couple of days to get here. Thanks so much!!David from Wyalusing, Pennsylvania
We have the 4 Swedish Blues that arrived today. They are sooooo cute! We have them and they are drinking water and they are nice and warm. They gave a little duck yawn and a little duck butt wiggle and it was absolutely perfect! We have them all set up and they are happy and settled. I just wanted to share this joy with you. Thank you so much for all the care you have put into these ducks and getting them to us safely.Sarah from Marysville, Washington
I wanted to send a quick note to let you know that the goslings that we ordered arrived and they are all (4) very healthy and happy. I am happy to report that with the order from Metzer Farms, I have finally received my one gander and 3 female Sebastopol Geese that I have been trying for for the past few years. So....A BIG THANK YOU to everyone at Metzer Farms. From our family to you, we wish you all the very best and cannot thank you enough for the Blessing you have provided. All the very best!Velorie from Spirit Lake, Idaho
I received my African Geese today and would like to comment on a few things. The packaging of the Geese was far better than other poultry I have received from other Hatcheries. The Geese were in excellent condition. I just wanted to thank you and assure you we will be back for other purchases.Bill & Ramona from Milford, California
Good morning! Once again our 5 babies arrived safely! These ducklings are so much more spunky than the 8 we ordered last year. I'm thinking because it was a much shorter travel distance from TN. You all are amazing! We have nothing but great things to say about our experiences with you. I will leave a great review. Thanks again!Kelly from Pennsville, New Jersey
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
I just wanted to let you know that the ducklings arrived yesterday, and are in their new home and have made my aunt very happy! Thank you for having the breed that she wanted, as the local stores we visited did not carry the Appleyard breed that she wished for. Thank you Tori, for your wonderful customer service and assistance with our order.Judi from Crete, Illinois
You guys are my "go to" for poultry whenever I know of someone who's looking to add to their flock, for general information on poultry or QUALITY livestock. People always tell me how beautiful my ducks are. All the years I've had Metzer Farms ducks, I've never lost any to diseases or had any malformity. You guys are the GREATEST & I highly recommend Metzer Farms to ANYONE interested in QUALITY poultry. Learning about your Tennessee farm made my day!Kathryn from Cabool, Missouri
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.Aaron from Frostburg, Maryland
My order arrived in exactly 3 days and these eggs are excellent! Thank you for such a quick order! These duck eggs have a wonderful flavor and texture even though they are bigger than chicken eggs. Thank you again for such a quick order of these wonderful eggs! I'll definitely be ordering again.Jason from John Day, Oregon
I wanted to say thank you for my recent order of Runner ducklings & Guinea keats. Honestly I was a little worried when I realized that they would travel across the Country from CA to NC, however they ALL arrived in good health and after 2 days here are still ALL doing very well. Thank you for your quality service.Rachel from Marshville, North Carolina
I wanted to say thank you. I ordered Mallard eggs from you and got them within 3 days. I incubated all 10 of them and I'm happy to say we had 8 successfully hatch last week. They are now 4 days old and are so much fun and so cute to watch. One happy customer and duck mama!!Shirley from Woodhaven, Michigan
Just to let you know the eggs we purchased and set in the incubator on March 10, 2021 have hatched and we had 13 of the 14 that we had set hatch. I plan to do this again with my animal science class next school year and get eggs from you again. Thank you for allowing us to purchase the eggs and for your farm for the raising of the duck eggs for hatching purposes.Kevin
I picked up the duckling order from the post office this morning. All 12 were acting very alert and vigorous! I am very pleased that they were so active and that everything went smoothly with the post office. Thank you for your attention to detail, instructions on the website and on the back of the invoice are a nice touch.Sunny from Brentwood, California
I received my shipment of precious baby ducks this morning. They arrived safe and sound. They are eating and drinking, all seems good. I have never ordered through the mail, but I have read many comments on FB Raising Ducks 101, recommending your facility. I will certainly recommend Metzer Farms and purchase again.Kimberly from Gardner, Colorado
Thanks Metzer Farms! All my ducklings arrived in two days, in perfect condition, active and hungry, and took to feed and water immediately. The neighborhood kids are interested, asking questions and learning all about ducks, as am I. They named them all! Black Jack, Smack Jack, Flap Jack, Cracker Jack, Billy Jack and Bumper Jack.Steve from Troy, Illinois
I'm beyond happy with my order of Cayugas I received yesterday. I was a bit worried since I was on the wait list since June for these babies but after getting them home, they are lively & immediately took to drinking/eating. Thanks so much for the time and effort put into your ducks that's behind scenes and goes unnoticed. I'm very impressed with this order and will order again in the Spring!Christian from Eubank, Kentucky
I got my ducklings this morning and they are absolutely beautiful and in great shape. Thank you so much for all of your help and please tell Ashley I said thanks to her too. You guys are the BEST!!! I love my little babies. I was afraid when I had them pinioned they would have a big hole in their wings but you can't even tell it! I was so happy to get them and see how healthy they are. Thanks again for all your help with this matter and for being such a great place to order from.Debbie from Pataskala, Ohio
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
Thank you, thank you, and thank you. We just picked them up from the post office and they are alive and happy. I appreciate the tracking information and thanks to that was able to coordinate with the post office to get them safely home. I'll definitely be returning on any future purchases and thank you again.Mike from Milan, Michigan
I just wanted to say thank you! I am a first time buyer with you all and your customer service is excellent. I bought some Mallard eggs to hatch and they all arrived perfect. I incubated 4 duck eggs for the first time and all hatched healthy and happy. They are adorable. I could not have done it without you all.Angel from Purcellville, Virginia
I received my order of ducks and they are healthy and beautiful. I am impressed with the way they were packaged. From the straw to the gel food dishes to the heat pack that was still warm after 4 days..amazing. I couldn't be happier and will HIGHLY recommend Metzer to anyone ordering ducklings or chicks.Rebecca from Forestdale, Massachusetts
My first EGG-sperience with getting birds or hatching eggs from a hatchery and Metzer Farms was EGG-straordinary! I ordered 3 Chocolate Runner hatching eggs and 2 Cayuga hatching eggs. All arrived in EGG-cellent condition! And they sent and EGG-stra Runner egg! 100% hatch rate! They are a month old now and thriving. They were my first ducks and were worth it. If you want ducks, order from Metzer Farms!Lily from Pine Lake, Georgia
My geese arrived promptly at 6:13am at my post office and they are all in perfect condition. I was surprised at how active compared to chickens they are at only three days old. They immediately started foraging as soon as I took them out of the box and were eager to be hand fed. This was a great experience and I'm already looking forward to future orders.Justus from Liberty Hill, Texas
Just wanted to let you know we got the 14 chicks and ducklings. They are all healthy and happy in their brooder. The kids were thrilled to see the chicks especially our 10 year old. I joked to my son that the ducks imprinted on him and he will be followed from now on. Thank you for taking such good care of them.Margaret from Roseville, California
Just wanted to say "Thank you" for my new Buff goslings. They arrived safely and are happily living under a warmer in my porch. They have already started following me around when I let them out of the pen and they are content to be held and petted. As always, great service! Wishing you the best this season and look forward to contacting you next spring for my next order.Michael from Sharon, Massachusetts
Last year we ordered 10 hatchable Pekin duck eggs. We received 15, and hatched 10! It was a great experience for my boys. This year during the sheltering, we are considering the prospects of hatching Mallard duck eggs. Thank you for your attention to detail and for your kindness.Tim from Sacramento, California
Our ducklings came today and they are ADORABLE! Just wanted to say thanks for brightening our quarantine, the boys are so excited to watch their ducklings grow. Gave your website to several friends who saw how cute they are via social media and have asked how we got them by mail, lol.Lynee from Salem, Oregon
The 3 little geese have arrived in Apex, NC this Wednesday morning approximate 7am. All three are in excellent health. Thank you for getting them here alive, great job for such a long trip. We are all well, so will enjoy watching the natives grow in our beautiful springtime weather.David from Apex, North Carolina
Metzer Farms knows EXACTLY what they are doing! These babies were in a sturdy, breathable box with 2 cups of gel food (stapled to the side, smart!), a hay nest and a heat pack (brilliant!). I expected that they would be stressed from the trip, but they settled in playing, eating and drinking right away!
I want to tell you about my pair of Gray Toulouse geese that will turn 13 years old on April 6th. They have been the most faithful geese to one another. The gander is a great guard to his goose and the goose is the best brooder and mother I have ever seen. They are both great parents. I've purchased them when I was 13 and now I'm 27. Better than any dog. HahaEthan from Carson City, Michigan
Minutes after I talked to you the post office called (one in Rockford-IL - bigger city than where I live) and said my chicks where in. I went and got them immediately and they're all alive, safe and well. Got them home and they're running around in the pen, eating and drinking. Thanks so much.Mary from Winnebago, Illinois
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
We received our 6 Appleyards back on March 20th and could not be more thrilled with their growth and beauty. We've raised other breeds in the past and enjoyed them all, but none came close to these. Not only are the Appleyards lovely, they are noisy and hilarious, just what we love in a duck.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 had to let you folks know how very pleased I am. Your hatchery delivered on every promise made. The ducklings arrived energetic, hungry, and thirsty as can be. Healthy little females just as I'd hope for. I will be buying more waterfowl, game fowl, with confidence they are healthy. Thank you for your care, even for a small order such as mine.Annabelle from Lawrenceville, Illinois
I just want to thank you! I ordered just two female Rouens as egg laying pets fro you all a month ago, and I couldn't be more pleased! I have raised a few ducks in the past and I've never enjoyed such strong healthy animals as these.These two girls are also docile and friendly. Thank you for such quality!Grant from Lake Oswego, Oregon
We have been customers of Metzer Farms for a few years now and just wanted to tell you that we were very excited to see that all of the 100 Cornish Cross and 130 Grimaud Hybrid arrived this am in very good condition. We appreciate you taking the extra steps to insulate the boxes. It was 1 degree F this am here. Thank you!Jason from Putney, Vermont
I had never ordered from the mail before. I was totally impressed with the whole process, ordering and delivery. You guys definitely have it down. We love our new babies, Snowball, Fawn, DOS and Aflac. They are very healthy. Thank you for making this process so easy.Ann from New Bedford, Massachusetts
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!Lisa from Redmond, Washington
We received our order invoice 189821. Three ducklings arrived in excellent condition. Our four kids and us are very excited and happy with the ducks received from Metzer Farms. The transportation box and accommodations are impressive. These ducks are very active and curious....wonderful. Thank you Metzer Farms.Tricia from Pierre, South Dakota
Thank you so much for your understanding and flexibility. I greatly look forward to receiving these animals and I do want guys to know that I highly respect your company and you are the only farm I refer people to as your services over these years have been nothing but satisfactory. Have a wonderful day!Kristin from Woodland, California
I just wanted to tell you what an amazing experience my little preschool had with your eggs we incubated and hatched. I asked for 15 mixed eggs; you sent 17 and 14 of them hatched! We had SO MUCH FUN with them. We look forward to doing it again next year. We can't thank you enough!!Patricia from Houston, Texas
I am in Anna, Texas and this was my first order with Metzer. My ducklings arrived early yesterday morning. They were all accounted for without a loss. I am pleased with my experience! I look forward to making future orders with Metzer Farms. I have spread the word about your family farm and will continue to do so!Lindsay from Anna, Texas
I wanted to say thank you to your farm. I have ordered, hatched, and raised from numerous placed including hatching and raising my own birds. Most companies are all about getting paid and no customer service or gratitude to the customer. Your farm is the opposite of most places and I will recommend you to anyone I know looking for animals you have.Garrett from Smithfield, North Carolina
After a little panicking, I got a call on day 3 that my babies were here! I was expecting some losses...but when I peeled back the lid..I had 10 unhappy (who wouldn't be after that trip) but healthy ducklings squinting into the light! We got home and they got settled into their brooder, started drinking right away and are running around, happy to be done with their travels!Jes
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
Hello, didn't know if you had a place to write any reviews about your service, but I was a first time buyer from Iowa and your shipping was amazingly fast and the packaging was extremely well thought of for shipping hatching eggs. All were in excellent shape. And had 100% fertile rate. Keep up the good work!!Nick from Lehigh, Iowa
I wanted to thank you for all your help and for answering my email questions quickly. Since this was my first time incubating eggs, I was a bit nervous to do it incorrectly. Of the 11 eggs you sent me, one was infertile and two quit within the first three days of incubation. All of the rest hatched wonderfully over a three day period and the babies are doing great!Rachael from Anchorage, Alaska
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. I know that you are a large company and ship thousands of waterfowl, but my small order of geese were for pets. When the first set arrived deceased, I was heartbroken. Samantha was very kind and helpful on the phone, arranged a second order, and I now have 3 gorgeous little geese wreaking havoc in my garage. I will tell anyone I know looking for waterfowl to call Metzer.Julie from Hickory, North Carolina
I am delighted to inform you that all 11 Rouen baby ducks made it safely all the way out to North Attleboro, MA. My young children can't believe how awake and animated they are. They are all eating food and drinking water and are just now settling down to rest in their new brooder home in the vicinity of the heat lamp. Job well done and thank you. We will definitely be ordering from you in the future.Michael from N. Attleboro, Massachusetts
I ordered ten Khaki Campbell eggs from you. I'm on day eighteen of incubation and so far ten of the eggs are still developing perfectly. I just wanted to thank you for not only the fast shipping with amazing packaging but also for the excellent fertility rate! I will definitely be purchasing more eggs from you guys in the future!Brittany from Willits, California
I just wanted to take a moment to email you guys and let you know that I am so happy with my decision to purchase hatching eggs from you. With a great deal of hesitation I ordered eggs and to my surprise candled all 11 eggs tonight and every single one had the beginning stages of a developing embryo.Wendy from Franklin, Tennessee
I ordered 20 chickens and 15 ducklings that were delivered today. All of my birds arrived alive and in very good shape! I could not be more happy or impressed with by the service and quality of Metzer Farms! This is certainly where I will place all future orders.Robert from Ridgeway, South Carolina
Our six-pack of ducklings arrived yesterday morning, and are in great shape. Thanks for finding a way to send out a smaller minimum order, with the heat pack. In the past I've had to order more than I wanted to keep. Your website provides a great deal of helpful information and your service has been quick, professional, and greatly appreciated!Laurie from Guffey, Colorado
I placed an order with you in May of this year. I was so very nervous, however with the wealth of information on your website and the great condition the babies were in, they are now just about fully feathered. I am so happy with the quality and great health of these birds. I will be placing another order in the spring of 2017. A huge thank you and you get 12 out of 10 stars for your service, bird care and breeding.William from Oak Point
Our pair of French Toulouse goslings arrived two days after ordering....and we live on a remote island in Alaska where our mail comes daily by float plane, if the weather is good. They arrived in perfect health, and are already munching happily on grass tips! Thank you so much!Caleb from Metlakatla, Alaska
I recently ordered some goose and duck eggs from you and would like you to know they arrived perfectly intact and looked beautiful. I am in the process of writing an egg decorating craft book and wanted to let you know that I will be listing you as one of the best suppliers of eggs.Maya from Lantana, Florida
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
I received 5 duck eggs about a month ago. I followed your instructions on incubating duck eggs, I turned them 7 times in the beginning and then decreased as the days went on but always turned 3 times a day. So 28 days went by and all 5 ducks hatched! I even called your office during the hatching process and the staff always eager to help answer any questions I had.Lori from Norwalk, Connecticut
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
Our 4 Toulouse geese 1 male and 3 female where shipped on Monday,May 23rd and we received the call at 4pm from our post office here in Alaska that they had arrived on Wednesday May 25. We picked up at 5:30 and everyone was doing great they have been here over night and are eating, drinking and active this morning. We will recommend you to others and will be ordering again in the future.Ruth
On behalf of the children and teachers, I would like to report that we have veins in our eggs! The candling experience was absolutely beautiful. There were goosebumps and smiles of pure joy. We are so grateful you pushed us to move forward because this experience is absolutely beautiful.Lauren from Dearborn, Michigan
I received my replacement ducklings yesterday. They are doing great. So are the ducklings that arrived last week (as well as the gosling). I love them! We have cuddle time twice a day. Thank you again for not only the quality of the birds you raise, but the quality of your company in general. Your company came highly recommended - and I will do my part in recommending you also.Robin
I received my pair each of Toulouse and Brown Chinese geese in early April. We have enjoyed every moment with them and are having fun watching their feathers come in and their confidence grow. I wanted to say thank you for the safe delivery of healthy birds, and all of the great advice and information your website provides. I will absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for waterfowl!Kristen from Huntingtown, Maryland
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
I wasn't sure where to leave a review for my order from your website and farm but I was so pleased with the ducks I bought I felt I had to let you know. I ordered 6 female Mallards and they arrived quickly and in great condition. Metzer Farms has great service and great ducks, and I'd definitely refer you guys to anyone and definitely will be ordering more ducklings and hatching eggs from your site.Alex
I just wanted to let you know, I had ordered ducklings for the first time ever online from you guys...they arrived safe and sound, and every single one of them looked very healthy! I just wanted to thank you so much for being a good business and making my first online chick ordering a success! I will be doing business with you for any future purchases.Brittany from Mendon, Vermont
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you so much for our three Khaki Campbell girls that you mailed to us June 9th! They are happy Boise, Idahoan ducks now and we love them so much! Thank you for every step of the process and how professional and helpful you allowed this process to be for our family. We would not hesitate to refer someone to your farm, thank you so much again!Osborne Family from Boise, Idaho
I am here to tell you that your Blue Swedish ducks are FANTASTIC. The show I went to was the Rocky Mountain Feather Fanciers show in Brighton, CO. I ended up winning reserve medium duck for the futurity part of the show, but in the traditional I ended up winning Champ Medium duck, Champ Showmanship in the senior division, and Champion waterfowl by a JR.Nathan from Penrose, Colorado
Our ducklings arrived today all the way in South Carolina and we had no losses! All 12 are doing great. Also, I dealt with Ashley about my credit card not working, and she was super nice and helpful! Thanks for everything. I will definitely tell others about you all.Jordon from Travelers Rest, South Carolina
My 3 year old son and I were so excited to pick up our ducks from the post office this am. As always the birds arrived safe and sound with their GROW GEL! The post office lady told me that ducks from another hatchery didn't make it and they had no food on their transport. I love your quality and super customer service and look forward to ordering from you every Summer!christine from Eugene, Oregon
We recently ordered 5 ducklings from you. You shipped on August 10th and they arrived in Sioux Falls, SD on the evening of the 11th! Our distribution center called us and we picked up 5 healthy ducklings. They are calm, wonderful pets that I use in my animal program. Metzer Farms is the BEST! Thank you!Verna from Garretson, South Dakota
Babies arrived this morning alive and full of spirit. They are beautiful and I do so appreciate the above and beyond service you went to to make up the lost babies from my original order. I will be telling all my friends about you and will only buy from you from now on.Garland from Brodhead, Kentucky
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
We received our order of Cayugas, White Layers, Golden 300s and Buffs that were shipped to us in Anchorage, Alaska. We are writing to you to let you know we are very satisfied with our purchase and will be referring you to everyone who express a desire to raise ducks.Adolf and Nickelle from Anchorage, Alaska
Thank you so much for packaging them with natural hay in the bottom and the large cups of grow gel. They all look healthy and energetic. Thank you also for the excellent customer service. We are very, very pleased with our experience with Metzer and will give you a favorable review.Clint & Wendy from Hayes, Virginia
I have never left a review before with any business but we are so happy with our baby ducks that I just had to this time. We are madly in love with our new family members! Lol. Our ducks are so healthy, sweet and precious. They have brought so much joy to us I just had to say THANK YOU!!Tawanna from Wedowee, Alabama
We bought 5 Welsh Harlequin ducklings from you last Spring. We couldn't believe how productive they are. We were getting 5 eggs a day through the coldest part of the year, when the chickens weren't laying as well. These are also very nice pets, and not as skittish as some other ducks we've had. I don't know when we'll need more ducks, but we'll be sure to get them from you when we do.DD from Wisconsin
We bought 5 Welsh Harlequin ducklings from you last Spring. They arrived happy and healthy, and they are still doing very well. We got them for backyard slug control and egg laying, and they've done a great job of both!These are also very nice pets, and not as skittish as some other ducks we've had. I don't know when we'll need more ducks, but we'll be sure to get them from you when we do.DD from Wisconsin
This past June, I ordered 6 Hybrid 300 from you. I just wanted to contact you and tell you how amazing these birds are!! They started laying in October and have given me 6 eggs a day!! They stopped just for two days in early January when we had very cold temps, but now they are back laying, and I swear, their eggs keep getting bigger!! The taste of these eggs are amazing! Again, thank you for wonderful livestock!!Steve from Paducah, Kentucky
Just wanted to drop you an email to express our sincere gratitude and thanks. You and Metzer Farms have been so helpful and with all the info you have put on your blog and website our ducks are a success! Thank you for giving us so much info to be successful since we were not experienced in ducks at all!Eva from Culpeper, Virginia
I'd like to say thank you for the wonderful ducklings. I piled them all on my lap when I got them home and they stayed there for maybe a minute and then they were off to the races. They are much friendlier and don't run from me like ducks I had ordered about 5 years ago from another hatchery did.Leslie
The female Khaki Campbell started laying exactly on Thanksgiving Day. Fast forward to today and we are now 237 laying days out from that first egg and she has only missed FIVE days of laying an egg. 232 eggs in her first 237 laying days. Great line of Khaki Campbell girls, Metzers!!Bobby from Punta Gorda, Florida
Hello, I want to let you know that my husband and I were extremely delighted and quite surprised when our 4 ducklings arrived this morning and were all in good health. They were supposed to arrive on Wednesday but did not arrive at our local post office until this morning(Thursday). We were so worried that we would have one or more losses, but were extremely happy to see they were all doing well. They have been eating, drinking, running around, and napping all day long. We just love them.Mary from Lewisberry, Pennsylvania
All were strong and lively (and noisy and eager to eat and play in water) on arrival and thrived from the start. This has been such a pleasant experience. I am going to place an additional order for Runner ducklings. I have recommended you to everyone I meet who is interested in ducks, geese or turkeys.AnnieLaurie from Allyn, Washington
I just wanted to drop a note to say how pleased I am with the geese and duck I received. One duck did die the day they arrived, (you offered to replace her, but I declined) but the others are growing well and are very friendly! If my husband ever agrees to more geese, I will definitely order them from you!Allison from Denron, Virginia
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
Your goslings are great and are so fuzzy. They arrived healthy, happy, cute and get along with my other poultry just fine. Two thumbs up for the breeders. The wonderful Metzer Farms staff takes good care of their birds! When I said that I would do business with you again, I knew I would.Jay from Lakewood, Colorado
I just processed my ducks at 7 weeks and one day. They look awesome! The weights were way beyond my expectations. There were hardly a hand full of pins. I have tried different Pekins each year that I have raised pastured poultry and these are the first ones to grow off this well. Thanks- I'll be ordering more!Leann from Greenwood, Mississippi
We picked up our new arrivals at the post office this morning. We wanted you to know they arrived safely, active and took right to water and food. This is my first duck purchase, but I doubt it will be my last. Thank you for your great service in providing us with these babies.Phyllis from Bullard, Texas
My first ducks were 2 Blue Swedes, 2 Cayugas, and 4 Golden 300s I purchased while I was in college at UC Santa Cruz and picked up at the farm. They were lovely birds and you were lovely people, and seeing your facility and pasture then has stayed with me as an image of what a great hatchery should be.Elena from Lafayette, Colorado
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
Thank you, Kelly and all the Metzer Farms for our happy and healthy ducklings that just arrived! Everyone was eager to stretch their legs after the trip:) The Cayugas are just beautiful. The Pekins are very friendly. And the Khaki Campbells are quite sprite and playful already!Sara from Lexington, Kentucky
I got my six babies early!! Thanks so much for getting them to me perfectly fine.They are happy as can be and tall robust little Indian Runners. I've already mentioned Metzer Farms to a couple people. Also thanks for the great customer service and answering my questions Ashley!Christopher from Eugene, Oregon
I just wanted you to know that we just completed the Provincial APA show and District International Waterfowl Breeders Show at the Coombs Fair in British Columbia. A young Pekin duck that I got from you this spring won the Show Champion. The judge was extremely impressed with all the birds in their composition. I have been competing for 5 years in the APA and this is the first time I have ever seen a standard duck place in either Show Champion or Reserve.Suzin from Blaine, Washington
You shipped me 3 Embden goslings. When the post office called me, I hurried there and opened the box and saw the most beautiful baby geese I have ever seen. I want to thank you for the great service you provided and for shipping me the most precious babies. They will be loved.Kim from Jonesboro, Louisiana
We received our baby ducks yesterday. They arrived on time and are so cute and adorable. Every one of them are active. As soon as we opened up the box, they tried to jump out. These ducks bring bundles of joy to us. Thank you so much and if we need more ducks, we will order from you guys.Jennifer from Lakewood, Colorado
I just wanted to thank you for the excellent ducks you sent! I picked them up this morning and they were all perfectly healthy and alive...And got home to realize you sent an extra duck! Thank you!! I will most definitely be buying ducks from you next year and for years to come!Jeff from Reno, Nevada
I wanted to take the time out to thank you for our recent purchase. I am a second grade teacher in the Bronx and I ordered 16 fertile eggs from you 2 months ago. I am SO pleased to tell you that out of the 17 eggs that you sent, ALL 17 were fertile and 16 hatched!!Victoria from Cross River, New York
I just wanted to let you know that my goslings arrived right on time yesterday and that I could not be more happy!! I was worried about the fact that they were having to travel from California all the way to North Georgia; it turns out that I worried for nothing. They arrived in perfect shape and full of energy!!!!James from Ringgold, Georgia
The first stop we made after opening the box at the post office was our local avain vet, who was shocked at how spry and active they were and how little stress they seemed to have been under during their cross country trek. In three years we have had virtually no health concerns with them.Alex from Lansdowne, Pennsylvania
I just wanted to send you a quick note of thanks! I received my ducklings this morning after a bit of confusion at customs. Only 1 perished on the trip and the rest seem happy, healthy and very vibrant. I am very thrilled! Thank you again for the wonderful ducklings!! All your help was greatly appreciated!!Kristin from British Columbia
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
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.Michelle from Norfolk, Nebraska
I hatched 2 Mallard (hen & drake) and 3 Welsh Harlequins (2 hens & a drake) last May from eggs bought from you. They started laying on Thanksgiving and are producing 1 egg a day, including the little Mallard hen. We give many away to families who love them. Your ducks are first rate.Milton from Hendrum, Minnesota
What's with these Golden 300 Hybrid Layers? It's the dead of a Maine winter. Gets dark before 4 in the afternoon. And we are still getting six to eight eggs a day from eight ducks! These girls don't want to quit. I keep talking these girls up to people who ask about ducks for eggs.Joe from New Sharon, Maine
We have endured jabs about our "fancy purebreds" but over the years with the Khaki Campbells and the Swedes we have had wonderful health and longevity and of course it really helped being able to order just what we wanted in sexes. We know that with the quality of your birds, we have more than gotten our money's worth.Elizabeth from Grand Portage, Minnesota
The geese are here to help prevent raven attacks on the ducks and the three of us act like a well-oiled machine. They warn me of raven presence, I run and chase them off and we all three yell at the raven. We have had no attacks on any duck since the geese went outside.Elizabeth from Grand Portage, Minnesota
Thank you again for the info and for such lively and healthy ducklings and goslings. All I purchased from you arrived in top condition and have remained in great shape. If I decide to order ducklings or goslings in the future you will get my business because of your great service and quality birds.Mary from Aztec, New Mexico
I just wanted to thank you for your outstanding customer service! I initially placed an order for duckling eggs, and when a few of them arrived broken (hard to believe because the packaging was absolutely excellent!), you not only shipped immediate replacements, but threw in a few extra to boot.Robin from Pantego, North Carolina
I would like to thank you again for your patience with us prior to our order being shipped. As you know, this was our first time ordering ducks (or any kind of animal through the mail for that matter). Everything your website states is true! The babies arrived safe and healthy. They are absolutely beautiful. We would, will and are recommending you to anyone who will listen to us! This was truly a wonderful experience.Pam & Gary from Phoenix, Arizona
I purchased some runner ducklings from you that hatched 10/11/10. Saturday, my first ducklings out of the ducks I bought from you began hatching. I must say my blue female is doing a wonderful job of mothering. I have a mix of colors and cant wait to see what I end up with. Thanks Metzer for the wonderful quality ducks.Judy from Largo, Florida
Just wanted to drop you an e-mail thanking you for the great customer service. Your reliability, professionalism, and prompt reply to email correspondence was awesome! My babies arrived safely chirping away, They seem to be very healthy, bright eyed, and amazingly energetic, especially since traveling a couple of thousand miles.Julie from Pearcy, Arkansas
Just a thank you for the wonderful eggs you sent. They were 100% fertile, and the ducklings are strong and beautiful, beyond my wildest expectations. I found out you shipped the eggs the very same day they were ordered. Now that's service! I'm a very happy customer, and plan to try some Metzer Golden 300's next year.Leslie from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
We ordered 3 Rouen ducklings from you just a few short weeks ago. Having no prior experience I was amazed at how rapidly they grew. Terri called me from her school where I had them shipped to with the news that they had arrived. I told her to open the box and let them see her and hear her voice and she would be their "mommy". Now they follow her around and get close to her when she is outside. They are truly amazing and such fun.Tom from Wonder Valey, California
Hi, I just wanted you to know that the ducks arrived at the post office as stated. There names are Donald and Daisy! We are so happy to have those little guys! I also want to take this time to Thank you...it was a pleasure doing business with you guys. It was such a smooth transaction, no worries at all.Diane from Indianapolis, Indiana
Just wanted to let you know that I got 12 very healthy and active duckling this morning. They had consumed all of their Gro-Gel and were looking for food and water. Thank you very much. I was a little nervous about the shipping aspect, but they came right on time and this worked out great.Dennis from Troy, Michigan
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.Ethan from Carson City, Michigan
We just wanted to let you know how excited we are to try our hand at ducks! We visited several hatchery sites but we heard only good things about your farm and decide to place our first duck order with you. Thank you all for the great info contained in your site and we will be waiting anxiously for April!Marlana from Mountain City, Tennessee
My geese arrived to my farm in Ky. on the last date you said they would almost a month ago. All of them were strong and healthy, not a weak one in the bunch. I am thankful that you have such a wonderful service and geese. If asked. I will highly recommend you and I will definitely order from you again.Cathy from Crofton, Kentucky
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my fax of 4/14/09. The quickness of your response along with the detail of explanation shows a dedication to customer satisfaction seldom seen these days. My compliments again to your customer service staff. I am new to this and they have been informative, patient, and extremely helpful every time I have called.Ken from Lawtons, New York
I picked up my birds and they were all very well! The pair of Sebastopol geese have been the center of all the conversations with friends and family. Can't wait for them to grow up! Thank you so much for another wonderful hatch! Looking forward to many years of your birdsAndrea from British Columbia
I just received my ducks and geese and everything is great. They are settling in and are quite the characters already. This is my first time with geese so I can't wait to see how they turn out. Thank you so much for the help with ordering, you made the experience with ordering enjoyable.Melissa from Oswego, New York
Just letting you know that the pair of Sebastopol goslings arrived here in Hawaii in EXCELLENT condition! They were bright eyed, alert, and talkative...and ooh, are they so adorable - even the animal quarantine office staff at the airport thought so! Thank you for your excellent customer service and follow through on permit papers with the state of Hawaii, and securing a flight. Thank you, John, and to everyone else involved with the hatching and shipping process of the goslings. Your business is #1!Mahola, Lynne from Honolulu, Hawaii
Earlier this year we ordered four Black Runners, four Blue Swedes, and a pair of Pilgrim geese. I'm writing to tell you that they have been big hits at our educational farm. All are healthy and have the liberty of a large fenced pasture with our sheep. Thanks for the informative article and the beautiful birdsEd from Easton
Just wanted to drop a line to share our happiness and appreciation again with you. The Sebastopol geese have matured so beautifully. Pictures do not do them justice. They are fun to watch, beautiful and adding to the pleasure of our life. Thank you for such healthy stock.Marla from Fresno, California
For several years as a teacher, I ordered fertile duck eggs from Metzer Farms and hatched them in my classroom. The children were always enthusiastic about the process and thrilled to see the ducklings hatch. A successful hatch has been a common experience with eggs from Metzer Farms.Linda from Concord, North Carolina
I was given 5 White Crested ducklings a friend of mine purchased from you. Owen, my only White Crested drake, won Reserve Champion Overall Waterfowl, and the females were first through fourth in the same class, they also won the best flock of waterfowl in the county! I just wanted to thank you for raising and selling such good quality waterfowl.Corey from Frederick County, Maryland
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
I'm just a very small customer who is totally satisfied, reporting on your ducks' progress! The ducklings are wonderful, big, healthy and glowing with energy. Thanks again - as the conversation swirling around your ducklings at the clinic confirmed, one gets the best from the best so... You're the best!Beth from Thunder Bay, Ontario
I ordered 10 Rouen ducks and they arrived the day I was told they would arrive. These ducklings are doing absolutely great! I would recommend you to anyone interested in ducks. They will be greeted with a great staff while ordering, all the way to receiving outstanding waterfowl! Thumbs up to you all!!Dave from Georgetown, Delaware
Last year our 4-H group ordered ducks and geese for our county fair projects. Your ducks and geese were grand and reserve duck and goose. There were four Metzer waterfowl entered and all four were on the top! My daughter REALLY enjoys her ducks and was very proud and pleased to win.Anon from Perry, Michigan
