Add me to the mix. I HATE THOSE darn BIRDS.......... messy and mean. jim ps Great pic, I'd keep it for use against him later.

Our big male Sebastopol Sigma: Omega, yearling goose and that has quite the personality. She will also kill your bulbs coming up. Just taking a nap. Theta and Chi taking a little drink. Goose and Gander Saddleback Sebastopols. jim

You can give them fresh greens and pieces of carrots. They love them. Apples and pears are also great. Once they know what they are, they will recognize them on sight. Geese tend to get more standoffish as they get older so spending time with them is paramount. They'll warm back up with a...

I'm with Goosedragon, I'll put all my money on the big goose. We've got a large yard cat that made the mistake of getting too close to our pair of "Watch Geese", two big brown Africans.............poor cat, they about beat him to death. He has not made that mistake again and gives those two...

I'd tell Mr Health Official to show it to me. In writing. Then I would quote the zoning official and tell him whom it was that told you and exactly what the official said. If the code says "livestock", thats usually not enough to make you get rid of them. The funny thing about code...

I'm gonna add my 2 cents worth just for giggles. No offense to anyone. I love geese. Much more than the chickens or ducks or peafowl. That being said, I think a goose is much more intelligent than other breeds of fowl and can be personable and very likable. I have no plans to butcher one or...

I assume its on posts? If so, ring the bottom of it with 2x8s or better and put it on skids and pull it to where you need to. You will most likely have to cut the post off unless you can jack it up but if you brace it and stabilize it, you can drag it slowly into place, probably with a 4...

The Africans are easy geese to keep. They look after themselves quite well with proper grazing area. They are grass eaters and will readily eat your garden if allowed. The also are personable, smart and tame easily. We have a pair that we've had for years and they are loads of fun to be...

I'd put some cushions in them swings so they can get comfortable. jim

Fine looking coop Red! Fantastic nesting boxes! And they were in your woodshop? Must have caught you at a moment of weakness. Lookin good. jim

Quote: I put the disclaimer in as a way to get out of doing it yourself. A concrete truck on the street is somewhat intimidating to most people that haven't messed with it before. Its an easy homeowner job with a little research. If you take your time and its not too hot out and are patient...

Spinach leaves shredded, iceberg lettuce or any salad making. Float it in their water as a treat and they will love it. The quicker you get them outside and on fresh grass the better it will be and the healthier they will be. Throw in a whole carrot for them to nibble on, it also keeps them...

I gonna stick my nose in this only because I own a commercial concrete company. Here is the skinny on concrete. That rough finish is called a broom finish. It can be a fine broom or a medium or rough finish depending on how long you wait to broom it. Its rough because you won't slip on it...

Easy folks, easy........... The state USDA (GA) has a half dozen workers that couldn't find their fanny with both hands. Anyone ever seen one, or spoke to one or ever had any dealings with one?..............I didn't think so. To destroy someones property/fowl/livestock they would have to show...

You need chick starter with niacin. Check the label, some have the niacin and some don't. Make sure he has lots and lots of water in his bowl and the water is near the feed. Greens! Spinach, any kind of lettuce or dark greens are great and they will eat them up. Float little pieces of the...
