We've had such success with our grey Sebs that last year we bought a pair of whites. Well, Louise is playing very, very, very hard to get and refuses to breed at all. I think she watched April go through the torture of sitting on a nest for a month and decide she wants no part of that nonsense...
The little goose in the picture below is having issues. She was a perfectly fine gosling. Then they started growing feathers.
You know that stage they get to where their wings become too heavy and they have to always keep hiking them up? She never even tried to. She just let her wings droop...
Adorable! Now what? we took him away from the parents, have him somewhere warm. He has water....when does he start eating? He must have hatched this morning some time.
My sebs are laying eggs already. Somebody said I can gather them and keep them in the house until she starts to set....how do I do this?
Sitting here with two eggs on my lap...it's way too cold outside still, being in Canada....
Help.....
This will be our first winter with the geese. We can sometimes get a lot of snow. Six to twelve inches at a time, or more. How well do geese walk in snow? will we need to shovel them paths to walk on?
My Embden girls are sitting on eggs. We thought they should be hatching any day now.
Mom called yesterday and thought she heard a bang and the geese came running out making a big rucus. Investigated to find an egg had exploded :(.
They still have 5 eggs....does the fact that this egg blew up...
I have 2 Sebs, 2 months old. April is coming along just fine but I notice that Bernie keeps chewing/pulling his flight feathers out. Maybe new feathers are itchy?
How many times will they grow back?
My Emden girls are sitting on eggs.
I'm curious, will the goslings emerge as they hatch and start running around? do they keep them under them until they're all hatched?
I have no idea what to expect and it sure would be nice to know what to expect :)
I've got 3 Embdens left. Hubby gives them a Folgers can of corn/wheat and they barely eat any of it. How much should they be eating?
Maybe we're feeding them wrong? We put the food in a big dish for them beside their water dish. Their dishes are actually the vegetable bins from a refrigerator...
Will any kind of grit work? I have chicken grit I give for my pigeons...will that do in a pinch until I can find other if needed? Do I give them grit in a separate dish or mix it in their food?
Hello everybody :)
This is my second year with pigeons. It started when I rescued a few wild pigeons. They led to some fancy pigeons.
We've got Old German Owls, Indian Fantails, Danish Suabians and Dutch Croppers.
