    Metzer Farms customer service?

    Good to know. Thank yoI. First time I have ordered online so I haven’t experienced this before. Reading the reviews now, it appears that birds shipped from the company have either been great or awful.

    Metzer Farms customer service?

    I ordered 18 ducks of different varieties. They shipped on Monday, and didn’t arrive until Thursday! Only 17 were in the box! 5 were dead to the point of smelling and flies on them! 4 more died within 30 minutes of being placed in the brooder. There was no heat pack and the two small cups...

    Suprise broody hen=fall chick!

    Another one has hatched. I went ahead and put her, eggs, and chick into the "nursery" coop. She was not happy about the move, but I didnt trust that the chicks wouldnt fall down into the hay, etc, so I thought it was the best idea. I'm trying to leave her alone for the first few days as much...

    Dog got hen

    Thanks so much! So do you think she does stand a chance, this is our first wound... I am thinking I will also put some antibiotic and electrolytes in her water. Yikes, the neosporin is pain relief. I only used it yesterday, today I put on wound cream, I cant think of what it is called but it...

    Dog got hen

    Hi! My red star, Tigger, got into the neighbors yard yesterday and attacked by his dog. He isn't too awful bad, but the dog was able to take a chunk of skin off of Tigger's back. Tigger got away and I picked her she didnt look too bad. I put some neosporin in and on the wound, and put her in...
