If it was less than that, they might have survived. Did you calibrate your thermometer - make sure it was accurate by comparing it to another thermometer? The only ducks that take more than 28 days are Muscovy. If you are not hatching Muscovy eggs, I am not optimistic.John Metzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03103027096519025445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7444124598415048280.post-8218375638502407982015-11-17T08:37:57.223-08:002015-11-17T08:37:57.223-08:00This may not be the place to ask my question, but ...This may not be the place to ask my question, but I have no ducks and today would be the 30-what's going on!

God Bless America and the people who have a lick of sense. Thank you Metzer farms for your business. it provides a great service to those who need it.

Just learn...I am so sorry this has become a debate. Just learning about why and how Metzer farm came to be, it is clear they care for their animals. I have purchased Ducks from them and they are all received healthy, much faster than expected thanks to the post office, and clean, even though there were 14 of them. They are very healthy, and most of their eggs would hatch if I let them. We are planning to get two geese, and although I have checked other sources, I will be getting them from Metzer. <br /><br />As For PETA. They will "save" cats from labs doing tests for human products....then euthanize them. How is this helping? They will offend my sensibilities by splashing bloody scenes to awaken my desire to love animals.....when really they repulse me with their force. I have always loved animals, but I can see they are not our equals, because I am not an idiot. The hypocrites have no issues with killing animals when it is THEM doing it. Somehow the almighty PETA killing machine is better than actually consuming what you kill? How is this logical? Seems wasteful to me. <br /><br />Throwing red paint on a fur wearing person only encourages them to purchase another, causing more death to minks, or rabbits, or foxes or whatever. Do these morons use any modern conveniences? Or are they living in a shelter made of dead leaves and fallen branches? Gosh, I hope they don't kill veggies so they can eat. Rather, I hope they are eating the same fallen leaves and gaining nourishment from horse feces. After all you are what you eat, right? <br /><br />PETA nuts need to be on their own island, where they can stick their heads in the sand all they want. They would not have their modern situation for living without the past atrocities towards animals. It is sad, but true that animal experimentation lead to modern medicine. They same medicine that would someday save their life. Idiots. <br /><br />GO METZER FARMS!

The world isn't going to stop eat meat no matter how hard you try. <br />And at least Metzer Farms looks after their animals better then most farms or factories. <br />So if you are going to go on an all out rage to try and help animals, yell at those who cut off their ducks heads (not fully) just to watch them flop and run around and they laugh and video tape it. Go off at those who beat their ducks bodies before they kill them, to make the meat 'taste' better. Go off at those who train their dogs to kill their pet chicken or duck if it gets out of the pen with the doors open. <br />Go off at those who DO NOT care for their animals well being and go off at those who treat animals lives as horribly as you could imagine. <br />DO NOT go off at those who care for their animals with love and kindness. <br />Metzer Farms may only be making enough money to keep supplying people with their animals, paying employees, buying feed with a little left over for them (Not accurate) so DON'T go on a rage with something you don't understand. It really does make you look like a douche.

Well, I'm done and don't start anything please because I really don't have time to waist on little kiddie fights over the internet... Plus if you watch Metzer Farms videos you can obviously see he handles them pretty good, and when he goes near any of the ducks they don't run away from him from being frightened... I do disagree with the animal eating part but it is just my opinion. I did eat duck already and it was pretty good, but I'm not eating my ducklings that trust me, and love me... That would be betraying them. Yea, some people may disagree, but I kind of don't care what some people will say to this comment because like I said before, I don't have time to waist, and also no offence, these are just MY opinions...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7444124598415048280.post-63592312892767994792012-05-24T14:56:36.794-07:002012-05-24T14:56:36.794-07:00Don't be silly.
