Online Hatchery

[MartinFamilyHomestead]

Looking to order some ducklings online since it is so hard to find any around right now plus everything we do get in stores is straight run and I cannot add any more drakes unfortunately. I looked online and found countless I could order from. Asking for advice from anyone who has ordered online what they’ve found is best in regards to alive on arrival, being able to choose sex, breed option, etc. open to any ideas! Located in NY

I'm from missouri so I use Crackle Hatchery. I drive there, so i haven't ordered online, but they are a very reputable hatchery with good guarantees and policies. They guarantee the number of live chicks you order and have a 90% sex guarantee. Im not exactly sure if its the same for ducks, ive never had ducks.

Welcome! But if it was me, i would feel more comfortable with ordering from a reputable hatchery that's closest to me. No hatchery has any control of the postal system and possible set backs. For me, i would order from Cackle if i was mail ordering, just because its the closest reputable hatchery.

I've heard extremely good things from Cackle.

@CHlCKEN recently ordered some ducklings.

I ordered from Metzer (through My Pet Chicken), and sexing was 100% accurate. All the ducklings arrived alive. I did lose two ducklings later, but not the fault of the hatchery. Overall, I've been impressed with the ducks.

This year I ordered straight from Metzer, instead of going through My Pet Chicken. The ducklings are arriving on Wednesday, so I'll update then on live arrival.
