    Does my male Chinese goose need a mate?

    Spring has sprung and I'm back to thinking about finding a mate for our goose. We have a brown male Chinese goose, a male mallard, and 3 white Pekin hens. The goose mounts all three females and I've had to separate them because he has opened a wound on his favorite female's head. I'm writing...

    Identification of rescued ducks?

    We rescued two baby ducklings on Aug 9th that were dumped at the local pond. Possibly some undergraduate project, it coincided with the end of summer term at TAMU. Can anyone identify what kind they are? I kind of think Indian Runner and Pekin cross (is that a thing?).. they seem to stand up...

    Chinese Goose with injured leg

    I finally got a vet to accept a phone consultation and have antibiotics and pain meds (she cautioned against using aspirin). Goostan is doing much better.

    Chinese Goose with injured leg

    Hi, two days ago our male chinese goose got his leg stuck between a board and the edge of our pond. We hardly ever leave for the day, but we were gone, I am not sure how long he was there but a neighbor free'd him. He has periods where he does put his weight on the foot and I've seen him put...

    Female Pekins and a Male Chinese goose

    After dealing with this for a bit, we ended up making our duck pools really shallow, so the water just hits under goose's belly when he is in the pool, thus he doesn't have to wrestle ducks going under the water. I have noticed that they bathe in the pool, but Goose spends less time trying to...

    Female Pekins and a Male Chinese goose

    Our goose if very protective of them all and since he grew up with the hens, they all go into the same coop. But the mating... that call is very distinctive.. my "office" is close to their pond and I cringe every time I hear it. He doesn't mean to hurt them, but his grab is intense. I guess we...

    Female Pekins and a Male Chinese goose

    We have 3 female pekin ducks, 1 male mallard, and 1 male chinese goose. We made the mistake of just getting straight run. I don't think I would do that again. If goose was female, I feel like we would be better off. The goose is like my daughter's baby, he sits on her lap, will do anything for...
