When done properly, freshly hatched ducklings and goslings ship extremely well over long distances.  Because most varieties of domestic ducklings and goslings naturally do not eat and drink a significant amount for the first 36 to 60 hours after hatching, this is the perfect time to ship them.  In fact, in natural incubation, this is the time when the hatchlings would be resting under their mother, drying off and gaining strength to leave the nest.  We work very hard to make sure that the babies we ship will have a safe and pleasant trip.  We have had customers tell us that the hatchlings we shipped to them cross-country arrived in better condition than ones they hatched at home.

 

Use the following charts to find the postages charges (which include insurance) and add that amount to your order.  At this point, Priority Mail is the best way to ship day-olds from the Northwest.
