    Guard Geese?

    Hello and welcome. We have three geese, one Sebastopol and a pair of Embdens. It has been said that geese are mostly defenseless against predators (they are), but you can't tell them that! Finnick (our Embden Gander) is amazing at running off pesky little predators and has chased off a couple of...

    Aylesbury Ducks

    Hello. We just got a quartet of Exhibition breed Aylesbury ducks. We are hoping to get into breeding them in the future, in hopes of expanding the breed.

    What breed is this?

    New to chickens, have a couple of questions.

    Quote: I was told that they are white legorns from the folks at Tractor Supply. The lady that picked them out for us is the one that ordered them. She is a friend of a friend, and she and her hubby have some 300 chickens, guineas, and assorted other exotic birds. Maybe they got mixed in at the...

    New to chickens, have a couple of questions.

    Hi there folks. I'm new to the forum and new to raising chickens. A family friend bought each of my four kids a chick for Easter. He knew that I wanted chickens, but also knew that my wife wanted nothing to do with the idea. So, he plotted against her, unbeknownst to even me. So, I picked up...
