Runners? well My gander which is quiet a bit heavier than your Chinese mated for 5 years with Muscovy who weigh tops at 4-5 lbs. they didn't seem to mind one bit and he never hurt one. I know you want to find him a home but I don't think he would hurt your ducks as long as they have water to...
I had 1 Muscovy ducks with egg laying problems this year, lost her because I didn't see any sign of trouble till too late, I have read and I did do this with mine letting them soak in warm water will cause them to relax and possible lay the egg. also putting them on moist heat like wrapping a...
Just the gander in him Tracy we can't take it personal lol. and the breed of gander, Chinese/ Embden have reputations for being ornery I can vouch for the Embden lol
I use dried whole corn from the feed store, but corn on the cob would work I could never lay down an ear of corn though there...
Sounds like your making progress and listen I bet alot geese that get dumped is because who ever had them didn't take the time to try to train, and miss out on having a wonderful member of their flock. My gander seems to be testing me more and more each day. and has come close to nipping me but...
Tracy honestly with having my gander for over 7 yrs now I do feel bad I have to dicipline him but YOU have to let them know they cannot bite or nip the one who cares for them or any other person in the family. And he maybe lonely but he has accepted the ducks as his flock for now so that is...
Very true Tracey, or after rescuing him someone would take him to eat. I know geese are food for some but after all he's been through he deserves better than to be on someones table.
Hopefully someone on the Colorado thread will want him, he sure is gorgeous but understand completely , Geese are not for everyone, at least you saved his life. and hopefully he'll have a forever home soon. Please keep keep Craigslist for last resort.
Tracy he looks great and may have just eaten too much and drank too much water. Sounds like he is settling in. I agree on gander being so great about adopting ducklings.
I wouldn't hand feed her Tracy because they can get carried away and believe it those serrated bills can hurt. That maybe one reason why she is biting, it happens when people hand feed. if she young it just maybe her way of testing out new things my gosling at 3 months old love to nibble on my...
My goose vibrate their necks to it maybe from just being stressed. if she is eating grass and that's really the main stay of geese then she is settling down. and I don't put feed and water inside with my water fowl at all. I don't think she could be in better hands. How does she act around you...
romaine lettuce for one, chop and put in her water. geese are very hardy and she looked healthy in the pic. do you think someone may have injured the other and caused it's death. People can be so cruel. I'm glad you have her Tracey. Give her time she may not understand about the food but...
Tracy it is a white Chinese and looks young. I wish you could take it in because I'm afraid it would not fair well if animal control got hold of it. any rescue groups in your area? Know of anyone else that maybe interested in her? Go to your states thread and post this and ask for help. Where am...
