Welcome to Metzer Farms. We are a family owned farm and hatchery that has been in business since 1972. We control all aspects of nutrition, breeding, selection, incubation, and hatching to ensure you the highest quality of day old birds.
We specialize in waterfowl, hatching 14 breeds of ducks (Pekin, Jumbo Pekin, Mallard, Rouen, Khaki Campbell, Blue Swedish, Buff, Cayuga, Welsh Harlequin, White Crested, Fawn & White Runner, Black Runner, Blue Runner and Chocolate Runner) and 12 breeds of geese (Embden, Toulouse, White Chinese, Pilgrim, Buff, Tufted Buff, African, Super African, French Toulouse, Large Dewlap Toulouse, Roman Tufted, Tufted Toulouse). We also hatch French Pearl Guineas, Eastern Wild Turkeys and Ringneck Pheasants.
On this website we have much information on all the poultry and game birds we sell including basic instructions on rearing your day old ducklings, goslings, keets, poults or chicks, information on nutrition (including how to mix your own feed), a video showing a duckling hatching, another video showing you how to determine if your duckling is a male or female, gift certificates, articles on using geese for weed or water hyacinth control, poultry veterinarians, etc. If you can't find it on our website, let us know.
It is easy for you to enjoy the thrill of raising a baby duckling or gosling into adulthood. Our minimum order quantity is two ducklings or goslings so you do not have to raise more birds than you want. We also hatch ducks year round. Whereas most hatcheries stop hatching in June or July, we hatch Pekin and Mallard year round and our other breeds of ducks from February through early December. The season for the geese, guineas, turkeys and pheasants is in the spring and early summer.
This website is set up to make it easy for you. You can get everywhere on this website by using the menu on the left. Also note that a link at the bottom of every page takes you to our dictionary - for those words that are new to you.
We want to hear from you if you have any suggestions, additional information, corrections, or a different point of view. At the bottom of every page is a Suggestions? link for you to contact us immediately. Thank you in advance for your ideas.
Thank you for your time and we hope to be of service to you.
