Went outside and my 4 geese come strolling up the creek bank.

Will do.

Thank miss lydia i appreciate it. My husband thinks he might know who took them. He is going to check after work.

Do you think there is anything I can do? Or just count my blessings that i still have a pair.

They wouldnt just swim away would they? They have been with me for over 3 years.

Thats what i think too. No feathers what so ever. And I walked the entire 13 acres and couldnt find hide nor hair of them.

Last night went to bed and had 6 geese. 3 Sebastopol and 3 big white. Woke up this morning I had 2 Sebastopol and 2 big white. Came home from appointment and all that is left are 2 Sebastopol. These geese have been free range for 2 years and never had one stray or get taken by a predator. There...

It is also typical for first time mommies to kill the entire litter. Last year all 6 of my first time mommies killed the kits. Not a single baby survived. This year all mommies have raised the kits till weaned. Good luck.

My rabbits cage was surrounded by 3 dogs. They scared him so bad he broke his back. Is it safe to eat him? Also i have 8 pregnant does. Could all of the rukus from these 3 intruders have caused them to abort? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

First off i kive in ky outside of louiville. I have been losing chickens now for awhile. They are completely gutted with the bodies left in middle of coop. My chickens have now taken to roosting on my big tree. Well this morning I opened up my chi see swan geese pen and hansel and gretel were...

The dog doesn't need anyone looking in on him. He has free run of the house and 13 acre farm. Fill the bathtub up with water and a bowl of food in every room and he is good to go. He comes and goes as he pleases. He also tends to protect my flock. I just figured I would feel better giving the...

Thank you for the advice. Unfortunately I do not have anyone to look in on them... well not without being mauled by my dog. I figured giving them a fighting chance would be better.....

I will be going away for 3 days. I have chickens, geese and ducks. I am wondering what would be best. Should I try to stock up the pens with food and water? (They tend to dump the waterers) or should I just let them all free range and hope for the best. If I let them free range for 3 days they...

Great info in this thread. What I need to know is it safe for me to move mama and babies to a bigger cage so mama has more room to lay down. The cage she is in is a bit small for her, nest and food water bowls. This is her first litter.
