Today on the American Buff & Tufted American page on FB, Stacey Dunifer had two Buff ganders in Maine looking for a new home. It's a January 23rd post.

Well, you might check around your area for a male.

Where are you located? I'm in the Midwest. I have a 3 year old male American Buff without a partner.

Lovely girl! She will probably wait until she's accumulated at least a dozen eggs before she goes broody. You can tell by the way she will line the nest with her downy feathers that she's getting serious about it.

I had a duck hatch a batch of eggs last year. I put them in a chicken tractor until the geese accepted them; probably a couple of months.

I have American Buffs. This is their third year. Lat year the dominant goose laid 13 eggs and hatched one gosling. The other goose laid six eggs in a separate nest and hatched zero. This year I am taking eggs. The dominant goose has laid 13 eggs as of today. !2 of the eggs are in the incubator...

I have six geese. Three are ganders and three are females. However, I have a trio and a pair. The low ranking gander is only tolerated at a distance. If he is penned with the flock, they will pull his feathers and leave him bleeding. I'm considering culling him, but wondered if three years old...

I have American Buff geese and I will have fertilized eggs in the spring. I live in NW Indiana but come down to Weiss lake every couple of months. Where in northern Alabama are you?

How would I order?

Is anyone in Indiana raising Penciled Runners? I lost my drake last week while I was on vacation.

Thanks, I'll look for that.
