Yesterday, my Sebastopol Arwen laid an egg. Sebastian and she have been mating for the past couple of weeks. Arwen and Sebastian live inside the house at night and when we are not home. Is this normal?

Hello-- Yesterday I witness Sebastian mate with Arwen. I saw them do this twice. Sebastian: 1 1/2 years old Sebastopol. Arwen: 2 1/2 years old Sebastopol. We live in Minnesota. They are outside during the day and inside the house at night. Isn't it several months too early for this...

Hello-- My Penciled Indian Runner, Penny, just started to lay eggs 4 days ago. She's a bit of a late bloomer, since she's 7 months old. 4 days ago and today, right before she laid a perfectly fine little egg, she laid a HUGE broken soft-shelled egg. If the soft-shelled eggs had not broken...

Is it safe now to feed ducks and geese Mazuri? I have 2 young ducks that haven't laid eggs for the past 10 months. My vet told me that it could be related to their nutrition and highly recommended that I start feeding them Mazuri. Thank you, Amanda

Veterinarian Jaime Nalezny made a house visit yesterday for our Sebastopol goose Sebastian. (Sebastian has a lump underneath his chin area. We're hoping that it's just an abscess. She'll let us know as soon as possible.) While Dr. Nalezny was here, she also looked at our Indian Runner duck...

Veterinarian Jaime Nalezny made a house call yesterday and looked at our Indian Runner duck Penny's feet. Penny has Bumblefoot on both of her feet. Dr. Nalezny recommended that we trace outlines of her feet, make cut outs of her feet using foam noodles (or any other closed cell foam), cut out...

I have a Sebastopol gander, named Sebastian. I ordered eggs off of eBay last spring and he hatched in March 2011. He has a tuft. The woman who sold me the eggs swears to me that he's 100% Sebastopol (she doesn't have Tufted Romans). For the past few months, a little lump has started forming...

We had pictures taken of Sebastian, our tufted Sebastopol, a couple of weeks ago. This is one of our favorites.

Hello-- I adopted a 15 month old Sebastopol named Arwen on Monday. For the first 11 months of her life, she lived with a lot of geese. Then, for the last 6 months, she's lived by herself. (Her second owner contacted me to see if I'd be interested in her since she thought she would be...

Gizmo and Sebastian received these generous gifts (TWO baby cribs) from a friend of mine. One crib is in the bedroom, and a second crib is in my home office. They liked them right away! The cribs are for sleeping in at night, or while mom is working in her home office and can't keep a constant...

I had to make Sebastian a diaper that provided a little more coverage after I picked up half of a pallet of lettuce for free off of Craigslist. My chickens, ducks, and goose are loving it!

Not that I'd love Sebastian any more or less, but should he have orange around his eyes instead of faint yellow? Is his breast feathers curly enough? Some of his flight feathers are stiff. I'm sure his tuft doesn't make it any better. Sebastian last summer, age 3 1/2 months old (before...

Gizmo (duck) and Sebastian (Sebastopol goose) recently received their diaper harnesses from The Goose's Mother. Gizmo seems to be doing okay -- he doesn't love it, but he doesn't constantly pull on it and the diaper is collecting all of the poop. Sebastian HATES it (it's been several days) --...

It snowed huge snowflakes right before midnight, on new year's eve. Sebastian and Gizmo saw the big snowflakes and wanted to go outside. After about 10 minutes, they were ready to come back inside. I think they are happy to be back inside the house with mom and dad. (Sebastian "lost" most of...

Hello-- I would like to order diapers for my Sebastopol goose Sebastian and Cayuga x Khaki Campbell-Cayuga mix Gizmo. I just read on Indoor Ducks' facebook page that the couple who own(ed) the business are having problems. Any advice on where to order diapers? Thanks, Amanda

Sebastian has little cuts on the top and sides of his beak from rubbing it against the wire fencing and chicken wire in his run. Is there anything I should put on the cuts? It looks like the cuts bled a little bit. It was difficult to get good pictures of the cuts, but this gives you the...

Hello-- I have Gizmo, a Cayuga x Khaki Cambell-Cayuga drake that was born in March. He practically hatched in my hands since I had to help him out of the shell. A few months ago he started to get aggressive towards my husband and me. He constantly chases us, bites and pulls on our skin, and...

Hello-- My Sebastopol Sebastian George is now 2 1/2 months old. We are still head over heals about him, but the feeling isn't always mutual anymore. Sebastian hatched in an incubator along with his duck brother, Gizmo. The 2 of them are still living inside the house, while his older and...
