Duckling orders are Pickup only. Due to so many issues with USPS shipping, we have decided that its not worth the loss on the shipping or recieving end. We are not a commercial hatchery and cannot replace or refund for DOA. We will be glad to work with a transporter for ducklings 2+ weeks old Some of our breeds are straight run only . For sexed ducklings, I vent sex with about 90% accuracy. If you find later that you have mistakenly recieved a drake, I will refund the difference between drake and duck day old price. When you place an order for local pickup, you can expect your ducklings to be ready between 4-6 weeks for pickup if we do not have eggs in the incubator already. Duckling orders are NON REFUNDABLE We will be in contact with you with an expected hatch date. We are only able to hold duckling a few days for pickup. 252-315-6720
