We are excited to announce the arrival of Hazel's first litter! Four adorable KuneKune piglets arrived yesterday morning. They are out of our Jenny (Te Whangi) sow. Sired by our apple-head Andrew boar Piazzi. Two ginger/black boars and two black/white females. All with short noses and double...

Hi Friends, If you have the time, could you drop by this local paper's website and cast a vote for Maggie? Our friends are trying to win the Howliday photo contest. The prize is supposed to be pet food and she wants to donate it to her local rescue organization. Voting ends on Monday the 9th...

So we have 7 acres of pasture, a half-acre pond, and a natural creek. Why will the geese walk a mile to poop and hang out on the HOT asphalt driveway? Its like they own the place. Don't ask about the weekend my husband left the garage door open. It was not a pretty scene.

Goslings available now. 2-4 days old. $10/each. Quantity discounts available These babies were co-brooded by my 2 Toulouse girls. (Why stay tied to a nest all day long, when you can trade off?!?) The mama's were paired with our Toulouse gander, but the Sebastopol boys were always in the mix. I...

So I realize this is not the Gender/Sex forum. But I need the goose experts to confirm something: Here are the 3 new Sebbie goslings. The lower two are whites. * The bottom one is almost certainly a female. * What about the top right? It has distinct head and "saddle" coloration...

So my 2 Toulouse ladies have been co-brooding a nest. Of course the babies decide to hatch early and in a SNOW storm in California in MAY! Anyway, before they went broody the girls only associated with my Toulouse gander. In fact, the girls were down-right awful to the lonely Sebbie ganders...

So this has been an extremely hard spring. I separated my Toulouse from the chickens for breeding season, and have had predator problems ever since. Coyotes got 2 hens. Problem eliminated. Fencing tightened. Fox found its way into the hen house. 3 more hens gone. Hole found. Dog loosed. Fox...

Why chicken coops don't have sliding glass doors! Anonymous internet photo sent to me for a laugh. Not laughing. Scary thought.

Hey Everyone, From early candling, I am anticipating a solo gosling to arrive April 15th-17th. I was hoping to find someone near me with goslings due around the same time. I am not looking for a freebie. Breed really doesn't matter. I just don't want a lonely gosling crying for a week while I...

Are all the Ebayers distracted on BYC today? I just won three auctions back-to-back by bidding the minimum. Nobody else happened by? To be fair, one auctions was ducks. But that's no excuse for an inkie addict! Will some of you please go over there and outbid me. I think once these arrive I...

I hatched my first combined hatch of Turkeys and chickens last month. Baby chickens are cute. Turkey poults are insane! They are just over 3 weeks old and I have to brood them in a jumbo dog crate. When I open the door to replace food and water, the turkeys fly out and land on everything...

There was an Emu on the loose for 10 days. And the city animal control kept calling for help to have it removed. So eventually, we made a plan and kind of herded the bird into a yard. It walked calmly until it came up against the net, then sort of started pacing back and forth, but no running...

So I'm a newbie to turkey hatching. I hatched on set last month and I tried to hatch them in egg cartons. 5 made it out fine. But two pipped from the wrong end. I noticed one of the eggs rocking and rolling and layed it flat. It hatched fine. But the other one went unnoticed and ended up...

The feed stores have CHICKS this week! I have 9 turkeys and 20 chicken eggs in the inkies. Why do I find myself trying to route my way home to visit at least two of them?!? Bah, Bah!

Hi everyone, I need some goose expert advice on encouraging a nesting location for a pair of Toulouse geese. I have 6 geese. One pair constantly nest in inappropriate locations: The middle of the pig pen, the floor of the chicken coop, & once she tried to go broody in a hen nest box (She...

Okay, so there are always good suggestions for chicken fiascos, so let's see how y'all do with dog chaos! I have had a rescue dog for about a month. He is a SWEET, SWEET puppy. Some people contacted me about adopting him and we decided to do an overnight trial at their place. Day 1: They LOVE...
