I have two Magpie ducks (kids named them "Kitty" and "Galadriel") 10 months old and ready to start laying. I want to either find a Magpie Drake I could swap a hen for or sell both of my Ducks. Anyone interested? I'm in SE Minnesota (Winona County).
I'm just wanting to find out who raises geese in SE Minnesota/western Wisconsin area. What breeds do you raise, and are any still laying (any goslings for sale currently or soon yet?)?
Hi, do you still have the goose? I use to raise geese years ago. Just one question myself.... how do you have a Canada goose (not legal usually to posses one without DNR approval in your state)? They eat green stuff... like grass and submerged aquatic vegetation, if you were not sure...
What are you wanting to really do with your birds? I would tend to throw my vote toward the pigeons. I have chickens and they are more social (depending on what you get, etc.) and kids love them. They certainly will eat more and p**p A LOT more than pigeons... The chickens won't generally...
Just a survey... who lives in MN? Who in IA? Who in WI? IL? I'm looking for pigeon raisers in the same part of the country as I am (southeast MN). If you are, what kind of birds are you raising? Are there any get togethers you know of coming up? bird swaps, shows etc.?
WANTED: A Pigeon or two. I'm looking for a "good looker" and will consider any breed (my wife hates 'grey' pigeons). This is as much for my kids as me. We have had the typical Rock Dove variety but would like to get something that is "real" breed! Ideally I would like to find a pair. Send...

Do you have access to where the pigeons are in your area (your barn, a neighbor's)? If you want to catch them on the cheap, I use a simple fish landing net -- the bigger the better -- on the end of a long (really long) poll or section of PVC pipe. I take the kids out at night to where they...
My head seems to be the only place it feels most at home.
Thanks for the input. As predicted it's a close vote. Definitively has its own personality. A little skittish around most people, but is most accepting with me. (S)He keeps a suspicious eye on the dog, especially since that...
Okay, I'm asking for the sky here but...
I have this typical Rock Pigeon I am not sure of its gender. I'd like to find out. I usually can guess these pretty well by observing pigeon behavior over the years, but this one is eluding me. This bird was caught in a barn back in April and is...
