    Funny story.... One day I told my mailman I wanted a chicken to clean up after my 3 embden geese to help keep the vermin population down. I made a crazy rat trap but the geese ate it by the next day.(see picts) One day the mailman showed up with bills in one hand and a chicken upside-down in the...

Red is the biggest of the flock and very chill but is kinda the outsider. Lucy is middle of the road and kind of a follower. Brucie is...

    Do goslings sweat?

    I'm in East Tennessee and it's been 90° for the past 2 days. I think it's gonna be a HOT summer, not good for a redhead but I hope not for 3 Emden gooslings 10 days old also. I've taken them out with me to finish putting the bird netting and siding on their house. I figure if I'm gonna be out...

Then I read on here that people see them eating frogs and fish. 😲WHAT???? That can't be OK for them, right? Now the cicadas are coming out of...

    Little goose coop

    I know this is the WORST time to build ANYTHING with wood!!! So I was looking at sheds and they're stupid expensive over $500 but I can get a new 8x10 that I think would be a good size for 3 Emden geese. Draw back... they're made of metal (I would definitely put in more ventilation) but will...

    Expectant first time goose momma

    I bought a house because it had a 2 acre chain link fenced yard with a chicken wire apron... SCORE!!!! (OK there were other reasons) The drawback is... ⅔ of the grass is on a steep hill that does terres off in places. The other ⅓ is flat. So my daughter got me 3 Emden goslings for my birthday...
