Everyone thinks I have a fox or bobcat, and he/she loves duck. When is the best time to spot one, stay up all with night vision goggles and gun? Trap?

I am trying to narrow it down. My pekin ducks and young geese have gone missing over a 2 week period. The one duck weighed 10-15 lbs. I found a couple of feathers, no tracks. They are fenced in night and day. I know I have hawks and have not seen any owls, foxes or bobcats. The fence is...

they are beautiful

I love my geese! My female white chinese goose (year old) is jealous if I TALK to the other 2 young brown chinese 1 male 1 female. I am trying to get the new guy and gal to eat from my hand like Aflac does (white one) but she chases them away. She is not mean at all. Any suggestions?

Mine eat layer pellet and cracked corn combined (so does the goose) They eat just about any kind of leftovers,any insects that may come into their sites small frogs, grasshoppers. I try not to give them any bread. So far so good.....

Please!I will be getting one today after work. What type of thermometer, one that shows both temp and humidity? I see a lot of different answers about temperature (and humidity) Should the temperature be taken at the top of the egg? I have an egg turner can I use a meat thermometer and...

She has the whole enclosed backyard, she shares with ducks and chickens. I just thought it was very weird. I want to get some Indian Runner ducks, are they a good breed?

I have a few very large seashells (not something she can swallow) and my Embem goose after I rinse out the water container takes the shell and drops it back in, not necessarily while I'm watching, but each day it is back in there again. She does lay an egg every other day and I am not sure if...

Ok, now I am confused. I have someone that wants to buy some to hatch. He said he would take them dirt and all. What temperature do I have to keep them at, he suggested the house, I thought it was between 55-65 degrees ? How long can I keep collecting them before they would be considered...

I have not candled yet. I put them in the incubator on Monday.

Thanks for the advice, but now I am worried. I rinsed the eggs off with warm water after I collected them, they had dirt, and poop on them. Was I suppose to wash them with soap? I am concerned about bacteria now, am I wasting my time, should I start all over again?

I have an egg-turner but it blocks my view of the "water troughs" amd I made a mess, poured water out everywhere. How do you best judge this? Do I take out the turner each time? Help!

As far as the breed, the mama's are Americana (Easter Eggers), the papa is a mixed-bag. I put them in on Monday. I also have a couple of Pekin duck eggs in there also.

How soon can I candlethem to see if they are all right.

These tarps are like the ones you see on children's wood swingsets/forts. They are vinyl with snaps or grommets for hooking onto the wood. She is looking to expand their customer base and I thought of backyard chickens, since I have one on the top of my tractor.

Not looking for anything huge, just a few(so I say). I do want one that does not require a lot of fuss. Thanks

Do you think anyone may be interested in this for their "tractor" or coop. I know of someone that does.

Hey Justine, I am loving any cool weather, the "skeeters" are still pretty bad. How bout your way? I have a couple of RIR's that are still a little young, maybe 2 more months. I could give "Queen Snow White" until then.......nah!

I have one that has not laid in a year. She takes up a whole roost and thinks she is Queen, into the pot this weekend. Gotta change my info after this weekend. One less rock hen.
