I got new geese yall :) My cotten patch goose and 3 goslings

 

Some new quail too 

 

Twiley no goslings from the sebbies yet but this is them now :) Both hens wanted the same nest lol

Mzstre no they arent as aggressive as most other geese and no its not a good aliby to not get you some   :)

A kiddie pool makes up for no pond real nice  

Absolutely beautiful!!!!! Way to go MIKE !!!!!!!!

Mike is right, I think the only aggressive geese in the world are the crew at my house. My geese will rip a nail out of a pallet. They are MEAN !!!!!

Mike is right again, a kiddie pool makes up for no pond. I have had kiddie pools for the last 8 years since I have had geese and ducks. They love it. They don't know the difference and I ain't telling them. I have about 7 kiddie pools places in different locations in my chicken yard. I have enough pools so they won't fight over who gets in and who gets out. Wait, what am I talking about no fighting. That's impossible at my place.


GET SOME GEESE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get some geese.

Mike,

What age is old enough for a duck to be on his own? 

 

Chris

Chris depends on the breed and your safety rating at your place Mine will walk out of the duckling pond at about 4 weeks and are free range from there with the domestics. As long as they arent readily available for predators they can go out at 2-4 weeks. Mine like I said are on the duckling pond at 2 weeks max sometimes the first week

I have Muscovy hens running around here that have babies and have never been in any enclosure

You hit a valid point when you say "safety rating". The safety rating at my place is 0. The predators that I have are my chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, etc. If a chicken, duck or turkey sees a gosling in the water in the kiddie pool, they WILL try to kill it. That goes for chickens, turkeys and geese trying to kill the baby ducklings. Nothing is safe at my place . That's why I have to wait longer than everyone else to allow mine in the water unsupervised. It's a critter eat critter world at my place.

Mike they're GORGEOUS!!!!!

I wish I had the room (fenced in pasture) to have geese again. I loved my geese - they were plain ol' white Chinese but a lot of fun!

Well La-yers I'm so sorry but I won't be at the Opelousas meet this weekend. My blood pressure spiked to stroke level yesterday & so I was ordered home to bed rest & on two different medications. They do appear to be working as my BP dropped almost 50 points overnight -- so I skated being admitted to the hospital so far.  Trying hard to be good & be quiet & de-stress & not be so hyper & all of that jazz!
