Ducklings in 2020 First of all, with it being 2020 and considering current events, I’d like to thank cackle hatchery for staying open during the U.S. coronavirus outbreak and for getting my ducklings to me. I ordered a variety of ducklings; black and blue swedish, fawn runners, khaki campbells, and some others. But the majority of the ones I ordered were Welsh Harelequins. So, I’m leaving the review on this page. I got pretty much everything I asked for so far as I can see. I can’t tell ducklings genders just yet and I understand mistakes happen. But based on the paint on their head, I seem to have gotten everything. And, I even got an extra Khaki Campbell. They were a bit sluggish when I first open the box, no doubt tired from trip in the mail. After giving them some food and water, they perked right up. But, even before feeding and watering them, they still seemed curious and inquisitive despite how exhausted they were. I could see them raising and tilting their heads to get a better look at the world as soon as I pulled the lid off the box. Today will be the third day I have had them. And they’re still looking good and energetic. Its adorable seeing them eat a piece of crumble and vigorously bob their head trying to swallow it and then go get some water to wash it down. I’ve also noticed when I talk to them, they seem to peep a bit louder in response. I would say I’ll order again next year, but, truth be told, I’ve actually already ordered again this year, though, the other order is what amounts to about 80 chickens on top of the 20 I already own. If I had to guess, in be leaving my chicken review on the splash laced red wyandotte page since I ordered about 8 of them since I found the red and white to be such a striking pattern. But, until then, thank you for getting my ducks to me during this time. I’m already looking at ordering guineas next year.
