    Sebastopol goslings, curly or smooth-breasted?

    How soon can you tell the difference between a curly and a smooth-breasted Seb gosling? What is the first difference you see?

    Is Mazuri the only Waterfowl mix available?

    The only waterfowl mix I can find is Mazuri, which at $42 per bag is far too expensive to feed. Their layer pellets are $15/bag and the organic is $25/bag, so Mazuri Waterfowl pricing is exorbitant and it is not even organic. Does anyone else make a waterfowl food? My geese would appreciate it.

    If my neighbors would tolerate the noise I would have them. I think the goose noise is enough though...lol

    I had a goose who was that springy, even with both wings clipped she popped over a 4 ft. fence. Peafowl are very cool birds.

    All shipped eggs are very difficult to hatch, the shipping process really can mess them up. I know that if I want to hatch a shipped goose egg I need to order at least 10 so that maybe 1 or 2 will hatch.

    Man, the females are so beautiful, what a lovely bird. I imagine that a wing could be clipped to prevent flying but they would still have to be in a fenced yard or even a stray dog could kill them. My flighted ducks, 5 female Calls and 2 female Mallards, live in the back yard under the netting...

    WOW! he's incredible! how great would it be to have a bird like that walking around your yard? I hope you can get some. If not then maybe some eggs? do you have a hen who goes broody, or can you get a broody chicken or duck?

    BTW, Green Peafowl sound awesome, if you get some post photos.

    I understand. There are many times, especially when I am out feeding and watering waterfowl, plus the llamas, alpacas and mini horses in a snowstorm, (or worse, repairing netting with freezing fingers), that I think I must be crazy to put myself through all of this. Then I look at all my...

    That's beautiful, what a wonderful place for your birds! I see so many birds kept in small pens, it's lovely to see your birds getting to have such a large space to enjoy.

    Wow, I love your aviary! where did you get that metal "umbrella" on top? that's so cool. I started with lightweight netting but it all fell apart the first winter so I had to upgrade. My netting does not tear easily though the top of a T-post can do damage. I have some in my yard that I need to...

    I don't know the difference between Toprite's and 3-T's netting. I was using Bird barrier's but it got SO expensive, just insane pricing. I have a 6" x 6" post set in 4 feet deep in concrete at each corner of every 50 ft. square of net. A cable is run around the perimeter and attaches to the...
