Duck, Goose & Chicken Hatchery

What's Cracking? 


Metzer Farms Newsletter - April 2023
 

Technically we are in Spring. The calendar says so, but we are not quite sure the weather is matching to the season! lol. It has been a long winter...

We are going at full speed ahead, hatching and shipping ducks, geese, guineas and chicks every week this April. Scroll downward and see what's going on at Metzer Farms!



 
Exciting News! We are developing our very own Metzer Farms Poultry PackThis product is a highly absorbable powder concentrate specifically formulated for waterfowl. You add the mixture to your waterfowl's water to aid in combating stress and to just to keep your birds healthier in general. It contains essential vitamins, minerals, electrolytes AND probiotics. This is the first waterfowl product of its kind to contain the addition of probiotics.

It is great to use when your ducklings first arrive home from the hatchery and it is also suggested for periods of stress to establish and replenish intestinal flora.

We are anxious for this new product to hit the market, but we need your help first. We are trying to figure out what to name our new Poultry Pack and we thought we'd open up the brainstorming process to our Metzer Farms Customer and Friends.

Do you have a clever idea for its name? If so, please let us know! Suggestions like "Duck Aid" or "Poultry Power Pack"? Let your imagination go and let's hear your most creative ideas!

If we end up using your suggested name, you will win the following:

* A Metzer Farms $40 Gift Certificate
* A Metzer Farms Shirt
* We will feature you and your flock in our next newsletter

 
We want to make this conversational and interactive, so we invite you to post your name suggestions in the comments section of one of our specific posts on Facebook or Instagram. In the comments section of the below post is where you want to enter your suggestions. Responding to this email with your name suggestion will not count 😁

We had such great results from our Metzer Farms Three Question Survey that we included in last Month's newsletter, that we thought we'd try it again. The below link will connect you to another simple, easy, quick waterfowl-related survey. Please click on the link and participate if you have the time. This survey includes 2 questions - different questions from last month - but equally easy to answer!

We appreciate and thank everyone who participated in our March Survey. You guys are great! We really do appreciate it.

Just a reminder that we are hatching and shipping from 2 locations weekly. Your duckling orders ship out of either our California Hatchery or our Tennessee Hatchery depending on your location. Our system will assign orders to a shipping location on hatch day based on availability and location. We try to ship from the hatchery closest to you allowing for a shorter transit time and a better delivery experience for you and your birds.
