They all are part Canadian goose, I had to find a new home for them as I need to relocate sadly. Their new home is on a farm with ample grazing and a good owner.
The goslings decided to come watch me clean the coop, Shane the roo is always close by keepin an eye. I'm still amazed they made them part of the flock.
Hi been very busy, we finished fixing up the pond and the goslings are thriving. My BAs have accepted the goslings into the flock, my roo checks up on them constantly as they tend to wonder away on their own little adventures. Pirate has figured out that he/she can use the other goslings to...
lol I mean they were hatched in the incubator, busy cleaning the brooder the goslings were in. They settled in the coop with the Australorps going to leave them there the hens aren't bothered and the goslings warmed up to Beach who is in seventh heaven now because she has babies to fuss about...
We have a big community of people showing poultry I show my Silkies and Australorps, its hard work but I love it, my roo
Shane is a two time champion. He has no tail feathers at the moment, had a mishap with the coop door, so we could not show him at the last show.
This is Shane he weighs...
Yes we sell them we have show quality BAs we decided to start breeding to keep the breed pure, the business grew very quickly and we have a hard time keeping up with the demand. We also started a workshop on how to care and show chickens for interested customers its a lot of fun. We want to...
I cant stop mine I have 5 hens and when the one goes broody the rest follows, if I did not breed with them it would be an issue lol. I got Plymouth barred rock x Potchefstroom Koekoek hens to lay eggs for me when they BAs go broody. I will have about 50 chicks by the end of the month, and that...
This is the pond that will be theirs we are busy fixing it up, they love their trips to the pond always exploring.
This is my broody Australorp hen Beach she is fascinated by the goslings, always comes to greet them. They are scared of her but she wont hurt them I think she wants to adopt...
The rainy season has officially started we moved the goslings back to the brooder in the feed room, its a lot cosier in there.
The vet came again yesterday to give the pony her annual shots. She had a look at Pirate and said the gland that produces the oils for his/her feathers has been...
They get tons of greens they are next to my herb and vegetable garden, they help themselves to whatever they can reach (I checked that what they are eating is ok). We give them oat grass that we pick from the field every morning. Its adorable to see them sitting in a neat row by the fence every...
The gang getting bigger by the day and always happy to see me, I've notice that some are getting darker I think they have some Pilgrim in them that would be so great.
We put up blankets and boards around the enclosure as well so there is always shade during the day, even with the cover we put...
I will built the silkie enclosure today the goslings have the pen to themselves they love it, want them to get big enough so they can roam the grounds there is tons of grass for them to graze on
Had an iguana in both my coops today, found it with one of my silkie hens in its mouth but luckily she only had a few bruises. The remaining goslings are doing well the vet came to have a look and said that gosling may have had a genetic weakness, I've learned with my chickens that it is better...
The gosling past on in his sleep, found him dead this morning. I think yesterday was too much poor thing. We checked the others from head to toe they are all ok will keep an eye on them today.
I have Silkies and Australirps, they are with the Silkies at the moment my black hen sort of adopted them. The one that had heatstroke often wonders off from the rest I think he ventured out in the sun when the rest were in the shade. We covered the entire enclosure with shade netting so I wont...
