If you don't want babies or possible aggressive ganders during mating season then maybe a gander is best. But if you are looking for possible babies and mating than maybe a goose. Ganders can get aggressive during mating season. Our friendly gander turned into a very aggressive one to...

We lost our gander last summer. Sounds about the same but was a few months older than yours. I noticed something wasn't right only 3 days before he passed. Then he would only stay in the creek and float. We had a lot of heavy rains snd wasn't sure if he got bacteria or what. Our other 13...

So glad to hear this. Our hens last year when they hatched out Guinea hens attacked them from the start. These were silkies too.

It took our goose egg a long time to hatch. Like a full 24 hours or so before she made much progress. Hopefully others more experienced will chime in. But I've helped chicken eggs hatch before snd it endly badly with damaged chickens and they were much further along.

So we have a loan gosling that hatched and is 7 weeks old. We used to have 13 geese and slowly had to downsize. The last found a new home in the spring due to the gander attacking my children. Anyway ours is outside all day. At this point we only feed her grain in the morning. She wanders the...

I was looking to get another gosling to add to our only one that hatched. Someone locally was selling some buff Sebastopol goslings. There was one that was definitely female by its markings, but does auto sexing still apply if the mom is buff colored? The one was definitely way darker and...

Yes. My oldest daughter. She raised our last girls by carrying them around in hats. So I can see her cuddling it in the winter hat lol

Thanks! When we gave them to a new home, we had to pull the one off her 4 eggs. As a mama I couldn’t just pitch them so that’s why they went into the incubator. I’m so surprised it’s hatching and sad I’m missing it. I have no idea what it is but we had a pilgrim/cotton patch gander and our...

Thanks but that’s not an option as I’m out of town and won’t be back home for days. I honestly didn’t think it would hatch.

hello everyone! I posted a bunch here last season when we got our geese. We had ended up with 4 females and 1 gander. Well the gander got extremely mean when his ladies started laying. He attacked my 3 year old one day out of the blue and really hurt him so we rehomed them all the next day...

Sorry they are sold. I don't know how to remove post . They were 30 for the pair.

Our geese will NOT go in at all on their own. Neither will the guineas. We have to chase the guineas in after dark as we’ve lost all our white and chocolate ones. Ugh! But with the geese we wait till after dark and lure them with food. I’m not sure if you could lure a duck the same way with...

Hello! My ones childs doctor is in Lancaster. We were just there yesterday. We sometimes go to the lab thats off the Elizabethtown exit I believe . It's before the Goodwill store that is there! Welcome "neighbor"! I read a little above about people flagging your Craigslist dog post . We...

Thanks! We have chickens, guineas, pigs, geese and 2 dogs and 2 cats . I became a little too addicted to geese this summer and my children and I hand raised them all. So they always want to come knock on the door. They've taken to pooping everywhere so hubby and I decided to let my fave...

Hello from around the Harrisburg area! I just found out there was a PA forum!
