No, neighbours often have some chiken (more as a pets), only in my old jobs the people can`t understand. In the last time i was a system administrator, had some offices where was computers in every office, and the servers (i worked 3 years in one place where i only help to my boss - system administrator), and 4 years i was alone in another place. I received 4 offices where was 11 (in one), 20 (in another office), 37 (in central office) and 15. After 2 years of work i get more offices - 25, 7, 11 and 60 computers. After some months i get more offices - 60, 15, 14, 30, 4 computers. And the bosses of another offices (we have 67 offices) begin to ask me. After 4 years of this work i begin to understand - i don`t have any girlfriend, don`t have any vacations 4 years, and 7 days on the week i be in my job. After some time i begin to be there and nights too... Of course i had some people who was under my control, but they was lazy and i worked more time alone, as width anybody.

And i runned from this work ))) I go to Macdonalds where i eated sometimes and asked a manager to take me. First time i washed a floor, fried the potato, sell the cheesburgers and was happy 2 months. But... The manager meet my past boss... I don`t understand how but last time i was in "money-room", i worked width the money, don`t fied the potato, only sit in this room... width computer! Again, again the computer! After 6 months of work i leaved the Macdonalds. The boss tell me that i will be a manager after one-two months, but i answered "no". He really can`t understand - i get more money as my friends in Macdonalds, they wash a floors, i sit width the computer (have a "clean" job and good money), but i run...

Now i live width my geeses, chikens, and if anybody ask me again why i work as a butcher, why i don`t return to the computers, i begin to be very angry and swear. But of course i used my past knowlenge - build here in this village a net, and my neighbours are connected to the Internet. But this is all what i will do width the computers, i will never return to the offices again

Yes, all my fowl can be eated, but i eat not all, for example i had 18 geese, but i had more "boys" as "girls". I choosed one "boy" and eated it (if i will have too much "boys" the girls will have some problems, because the boys always "love" the girls, they begin to be very dirty and tortured). Now i have 17 geese, they live in my garden (and don`t return to the room, the door are opened, but they walk in the garden, there are snow and old yellow grass, only in one place are green grass, but it are very little).

My plan are to have in the future 200-300 fowl and i will always have any meat for my kitchen and eggs for traiding (i sell the eggs). Last time i eated: one duck-boy (because i had more boys as girls), one goose-boy (the same reason), two chikens (they was ill), and much turkeys (there was only boys, i hoped to get some pairs, or maybe 1 boy width 2-3 girls, but i get only boys, boys... Only next time i understood that one was a girl, but it was too late - in my kitchen yet).

My fowl walk everywhere in my garden, they are very funny, but sometimes i need to eat anybody (i am not vegetarian). It will be too difficult for me - to have 200-300 fowl (i have now near of 50, to have 300 is my dream) as a pets and to buy the meat in the shop. Of course i can use 5-7 fowl as a pets, but i think that this is not interesting (it will be better to have 200-300 fowl). I don`t know what is this - hobby or work, my farm are too little and i can`t tell that this is a serious job, but this is not a hobby too (too much for little hobby). I don`t know why (the people in the Rusia can have 5-10 fowl for the kitchen, and they tell that is enogh), but i want more and more and more... My little incubator are full of the eggs, and i collect the money for new incubators, brooders, houses, and young fowl too, i want quail, turkey, ostriches (i read that if i will have a good rooms width the heating the ostriches will can live here. Near of the Moscow are one farm where i can buy it, but not now - the price are to expensive for me now). I don`t eat too much, but i understand now that i will have more fowl as i will can to eat some years. But i like that, i like when everywhere are the geese, ducks and chikens, they are very lovely.

But i do the work of the butcher (i don`t ask any another butcher), this is normal for me. I think after some years i will me a best butcher here. First time this work was terrible, but now i do this very fast i like this job too. I know - today i kill one goose, but in my incubator are much eggs yet, and i kill one for have 5 or 10 new (if i will not buy meat in the shop i will can use this money for buy new incubators). Of course in the future i will sell the meat of my fowl too (now i sell only eggs), but i will have enough money for get more earth and then i will can have more fowl ))) Maybe i am really crazy, but i really love my new job. Here in the Rusia not all my friends can understand me - i was a good specialist in another job, but after 7 years of work i leaved it and begin to live as a farmer - geese, ducks, garden, field...

Here in my village some neighbours have some chikens as a pets (they eat only eggs), but they have 2-3 chikens and no more. This is not interesting for me ))) Of course i hope to get all this "market" for sell young fowl as a pets too ))) I need only some time for realize all my plans

Sounds like you have found your niche in life. I think that's wonderful.

I am so very happy for you that you found what you love to do. So many people go to jobs they hate and are not happy. Finding what you enjoy and like to do is great!!!!!!

Thanks! When i was very young i dreamed about that, but after some time i go to another university, and after the university received another job. I can`t tell that it was a bad job (i no hated it), and the people there was very good, but i like to have the life like a life what i have now. I begin to be angry when me ask about old job not because i hated this job or the people there, i begin to be angry because i am afraid that i will be forced to leave the business which do now. When i have any time - i go "as the guest" to my past jobs and help if the people there need any my help. But i will not work there 7 days on the week again ))), i can tell to my past bosses "dream on!" )))

Hi! I ordered 2 pilgrim and 2 African geese that should be here on the 1st of April. How big does the door need to be so they can get in to the coop without having to duck? How many square feet should the coop be if they free range all day? Any coop blueprints or pics? Also is there anything I need to know? Thanks in advance!

Pasha loved the video of the goslings!!! Beautiful goslings... They are slipping on the newspaper I would recommend you put something in there that they will not slip on like pine shavings or a towel.
Myself I go purchase what they call chucks here which is a plastic lined diaper like for training puppies and they walk on they are great and you just pull them up and throw them away...

I don`t know now, because i live in a northern country, here i have another geese. My geeese live in the garden and in the winter i close they in a shed. But now the door are opened and the geese don`t return to this shed, they sleep in the garden. My geeese have much warm down, they are not african geese.

Pasha RuRu is right because it can cause leg issues and crippled legs but when they are over 3 weeks you can use paper again
