Thank you Everyone who submitted photos to be included in our recent photo contest. We had such a great time viewing everyone's submissions and seeing all your waterfowl friends. It was honestly so much fun!
After much deliberation and debate, we narrowed all the photo entrants down to 5 finalists. Then we turned the decision making over to you - our Metzer Farms Family - to determine our two overall winners. The votes have been tallied, and here are our two overall photo contest winners:
* Our First Place Winner receiving a $100 Metzer Farms Gift Certificate goes to Sari B. of Ethan, SD. Her photo submission of Zach and his duck, Cozy, was definitely a crowd pleaser.
* Our Second Place Winner goes to Maggie B. of Lolo, MT who receives a $50 Gift Certificate from us. Maggie's photo is for all you goose lovers out there. Pictured below is Maggie's handsome French Toulouse gosling, Gus.
Congrats to our Winners! Our finalist photos are displayed on our website scrolling banner on our homepage. They will also be in our soon-to-be-released 2023 Metzer Farms Catalog which is coming in the mail to you at the end of December.

WRY NECK
Twisted Neck. Crook Neck. Stargazing. These are all names that frequently describe Wry Neck - a condition that commonly affects both young and old waterfowl and is characterized by a S-curved neck. While this ailment might sound concerning, in some circumstances, it can also be correctable. Read up in on Wry Neck here:

RESPONSIBILITY OF DUCK OWNERSHIP
Your ducks and geese will provide you eggs, entertainment, education for your children, meat, feathers, and beauty on your pond and yard. In turn your responsibility is to provide them feed, clean water, clean bedding and enough room for them to thrive on a daily basis for the rest of their lives. Find out more about responsible duck ownership by clicking on the link below.
