I saw some stock from there last spring. The person had paid top $$$ & received healthy looking junk!

whats breeds did u see??

[Evy]

Calls...supposedly '' top quality ''.

[Patrick]

I don't see how anyone could legitimately offer quality Calls as a hatchery or in mass production. All other breeds of waterfowl, yes, except maybe Toulouse, but Calls, no.

We have ordered ducks and geese (no call ducks) from them a few times. They were all healthy and pretty decent quality - much better than the average hatchery anyway. Probably not as good as HWF. The runners were good quality, not world beaters but they did look like runners.
The owners have been good to deal with. The worst thing with the birds have been "birth defects" in a couple birds - like messed up vision - maybe due to inbreeding.
Overall, good for anyone looking for local fair birds or some variety in their flock. Probably not for top show stock.

By that I assume you mean that they lacked the 'required deformities'? LOL ~gd

Has anyone Seen the Geese?? i seen an African Cockerel and he was not bad, he had a dewlap and looked like he was going to be decent, But the goslings are 1/2 the price of HWF...I dont know, maybe i should just take the chance... there bloodline is HWF X Metzers, does anyone on here Raise White Africans??

Sorry a running joke with Evy, Calls have many required deformities. IMHO they are more like rubber duckies than real ducks. Runners run a distant second. this joke is older than the present board.

Sure is. I think it was John Choate ( Skydiver ) that coined the phrase. I miss him.
