    Still Flooding, they are going to lose the battle

    I listened to a first hand account of the Minot flooding given via the radio on my way home from work tonight. The woman being interviewed was a Manager at a local Minot Radio station. She gave a heart wrenching first hand account as to how this is affecting not only Minot (thousands of people)...

    Live trap it is.

    Put your money towards fixing your coop. A BB gun isn't going to make much of a difference. If you free range your birds - fixing the coop isn't going to make an impact either. Cats are very smart about live traps so you need to make sure you give yourself the best chance possible to catch it in...

    Should i should i not????

    How old are you kids? My geese are not agressive but I have teenage boys and don't worry about it too much. I keep Roman Tufted, Tufted Buffs & Sebbies. No agression what so ever from any of them - I know have 25! I'll have to pair down before this next winter but it'll be hard. I really love...

    Feed At Night Or Not??

    I'm not sure what type of container you're using. The most important thing to consider is if they get in - can they get back out? I like your camera idea! Joni

    Feed At Night Or Not??

    I close my adult parent geese and their 5 week old goslings into their little barn each night WITHOUT food or water at nightfall. They all do just fine. Joni

    Something got my geese last night I need help

    Ceinwyn, I didn't mean to offend you. I've had parrots for years and years and Kwik Stop should not be used on tissue wounds. Without knowing what the wounds look like (they could have been on the wing tissue) I was just offering additional information. Hopefully the wounds were broken blood...

    Does the humming bird have predators?

    Sorry to report our barn cats have killed a couple over the last two years.

    Something got my geese last night I need help

    Wait...I don't think Quik Stop should be used on tissue. It can be used on broken or split nails but should not be used on tissue wounds. I would clean the wounds well with saline and get them on antibiotics asap. Birds have a high clotting factor and once the wound is cleaned unless there are...

    Something ate my babies!!! D:

    So sorry about your babies! I would suspect a racoon. If they can fit their nose and flat heads into a space - the rest of them follows. I lost several 4-5 week old chicks to a coon about 3 years ago -same type of thing. So very sorry. The best thing you can do is improve your hutch/security...

    Advice from the experts please.....Broody Hen

    Hi Diane, She will leave the nest once or twice a day and eat and drink and stretch her legs. As the eggs get closer to hatching she'll stay pretty close to the nest and will not stay away from it very long at all. Do not block it. I would add a couple of additional nesting boxes for the other...

    Look what I found today!

    Congrats! They are beautiful!!! My girls did the very same thing - two and sometimes three to a very large (extra large) dog kennel that I had set up in a box stall in the barn - thinking one of the girls might set up house keeping in the kennel. They hatched 2 of eight eggs. First time for...

    Losing Goslings!! Need Help Incubating The Rest

    I'm going to say something here and I hope to goodness I don't offend anyone. Sometimes I think we as humans try so hard to help Mother Nature out - we end up making things worse. I have geese that are very calm and sweet with zero agression issues. My geese are Roman Tufted, Tufted Buffs and...

    Breed ID Please (gosling)

    I'm thinking Embden. I currently have a pair that are about 12-14 weeks old. They sure did start out looking a whole lot like your little one. These are my first Embdens. I have Roman Tufted, Tufted Buffs and 5 Sebbies. I'm so glad your new babies have a secure and safe home with you!

    HELP - NEED ANSWER ASAP! Nanna sitting on hatching goslings!!

    Last week I had three geese sitting in a dog kennel on a nest of eggs. I was worried about the same exact thing...I noticed the ganders in this group of 7 were standing guard at the entrance of the dog kennel - which is in a barn stall. I lock the barn down every night. The next morning - I had...
