    Question

    Back story. We had a house fire in October. A family member took 15 hens and a rooster. We were on the other side of the county from them. They were kept in a coop, a barn loft, no outside access. The family member was elderly and was feeding them ground corn only and I don't think they were...

    well I got my waterfowl special from cackle hatchery. I had two goslings die, no fault of the hatchery though, that was all on the post office. I called the office and they were really great about it. even extended the time frame due to the late delivery. I ordered the waterfowl special again...

    Has anyone ever ordered from Cackle Hatchery? My wife ordered my an early Father's Day gift and I will be getting 4 goslings and 6 ducklings. Any opinions on hand raising pros/cons vs. letting my very protective gander raise them? I want them tame but I would also like them to be protected.

    sad news. I took the other three eggs out, she was staying off the next for more extended periods of time, I think she knew. All three were rotten. I am hoping to go to our local flea market this Wednesday and buy a few baby geese and give them to her and her mate. at least I know she is a...

    The worst part is I have three ganders! The other two are both under 3 years old. But he is head honcho around here. So if I don't get any goslings then I will have to take his newly acquired mate from him next spring. His mate of 13 years died two years ago.

    GOOSE BREEDING THREAD - for breeding, incubating, hatching and rearing.

    Today is day 31 for my goose that is setting. She has 4 eggs under her out of five. One exploded. I haven't tried to check the eggs but nothing is going on. She is a Toulouse and the gander is a large mix breed. Should I let her keep going to say 35? I read that large breeds can sometimes take...
