I've entered a competition on facebook. Please vote for Ares if you have some time, I would really appreciate it :) All you need to do is 'like' the photo in the link. Thank you! :D...
The only predators I have around here are foxes, eagles/hawks and snakes. I've started snake proofing with some strong fine wire that will be welded to the frame. I'm hoping that will be done in the next two weeks. I don't really need to worry about foxes because of my dogs. Not sure what to do...
So far I have:
Started painting the outside of the cubby.
Added a nesting area (made from an old barrel with hay as bedding). I'll be fixing it securely with rocks and sand and have two small bowls ready near by for spring next year.
Made an auto feeder. I've used a piece of poly pipe that is...
I'm in the process of fixing up an old cubby house and turning it into a night run for my geese. I'll post photos as I go. If anyone has any suggestions that'd be great! :D
'Duck' is approx. 7 weeks old. Been thinking female.
'Goose' is 6 weeks old. So far I think it is female.
'Wally' is 5 weeks and I was told he is male but want to make sure.
I've just started making a small coop for mine (still needs work). Until they're bigger they will stay in there permanently unless supervised but once they're bigger I'm going to lock them up and night. Mine might give you some ideas?

and have since decided to take on a new adventure with Chinese geese.
I have recently purchased two week old goslings who I am hoping will mature into show quality. These are my first...
