    Aggressive Guineas

There are at least 3 hens that have gone broody and so there is a lot of aggression right now. Tonight I found 2 dead birds, 1 out in the barnyard, the other in their stall. The one...

    At what age do African gray geese breed?

    Hi Everybody, I got 10 African geese hatched April 16th. Some of the ganders are getting a little aggressive with each other. (seems to always star in the pool) They are only 3 months old but they look full grown, big surprise to me how fast quickly they grow! Could they possibly be jostling...

    African geese

    I noticed that no one mentioned that there are 2 kinds of African geese, brown & gray. Both look simuliar in coloration and both have the head knob but the bodies and necks are different. The browns (more commen) have the due lap, a shorter thicker body and neck. The grays are taller and slender...

    Important Guinea question??

    Thank-you so much Kris!! I have seen something like that before and actually forgot about it till I checked out the link! Awesome idea! I also had not figured in the mice.

(I will be installing plugs & lights later this week) As you can see in the photo, the power wire comes into the barn in the lower corner. I am building a box around that part so that the...

    Raising Goslings, From the egg to nesting

    Hi Celtic, so good to see you here! After following the other thread I realized the crate would never work. I have several metal frames I can use to make a 3'x 3' x 2' box. It looks like that should work. I will post photos later today. How long do they need to be in the house?

    Raising Goslings, From the egg to nesting

    Welcome Lark and thank-you for the info! I just ordered a Corrugated Cardboard Chick Corral for the barn so I have that covered. For the brooder I had several good ideas today. I will work on them tomorrow to see which one works out. I will post pics and info when I'm done. Can't wait...
