We went back home to Kansas this weekend and moved them to another farm where they will be well taken care of. My wife would love them to be out here though, so let me know what they say. I appreciate the concern and willingness to help.

Thanks a bunch.

Hey all. I'm in need of suggestions. We are looking for places to board 1-3 goats. I say one to three because we recently moved to Parker and had to leave our three goats behind with family. Upon recent visits, we've become unhappy with the care they're under, mostly an issue with fresh water...

The rest of our birds sure do love it when we get a couple inches of rain.

We're still not sure what the larger duckling is. I'm on the fence now between a Blue Swedish or an Ancona. Any opinions?

Here's the troop in their coop. These little mallards are in love with the water dish that's for sure.

Oh cool. I wish you luck with yours hatchings. We've got a few eggs set to hatch around April 15th. Fingers crossed!

Beautiful little babes! Is the gosling from your emdens?

We were gifted two baby mallards just last night. They're about a week younger so there's quite the size difference now. There was only a little bit of roughhousing when they were introduced. Our gosling was the youngest by a few days but she's now the biggest for sure. EDIT TO ADD: we lost the...

The two ducklings weren't too sure about they're new roommate at first

New Update: two days ago we purchased a little duckling for Orschelns. I'm not sure on the breed though as it was only labeled as a meat breed. This morning we had our first gosling hatch. I brought it home and it's happy in the brooder now. I had also found a smashed little fully developed...

3 goose eggs and 2 duck eggs. I was just under the impression that the babies would fare better in a brooder inside. We're mostly concerned for their well-being. Our two geese are with our 12 ducks and I'd hate to have something happen to them and I foresee a hassel keeping them all seperated...

New update: little duckling is in the brooder now. It looks like it's gonna be in there alone until the goose hatches the clutch she's on. We candled the remaining eggs in the incubator when we removed the hatchling and didn't see any movement or shapes in the air sacks. I left them in there in...

Both. She's sitting on 3 goose eggs and 2 duck. They're due any day now too and I planned on taking them home to the brooder when they hatch.

First babe is out on the 33rd day! None of the others have pipped yet so I'm a little worried for them. Hopefully our goose hatches her babies soon so our little peeper will get a friend in the brooder! Edit to add: It's a little black runner from the looks of it. Looks just like it's daddy
