Absolutely adorable! I too have a VERY loving gander, his name is Hansel & he LOVES to be held! He's a year old & is VERY protective of me & his two girls-pom saddlebacks.......

Utah, Snow is absolutely stunning! Such a beauty! I'm glad she's feeling better! Harry I was crushed to read about Henry's passing....I really don't have words.....I know your loss is devastating......I'm praying that you can find comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering, he's up...

YAY UTAH! Your awesome!

Harry, DONT THINK JUST DO! You are in LIFE SAVING MODE! YOU are all your ganders have! YOU CAN DO THIS! If giving some shots means saving their lives......I know you'll act with instinct! And conquer that fear! Giving shots doesn't cause bleeding and more than likely your ganders are not even...

Harry- How discouraging....my heart aches for you, and for your precious ganders....oh my.... I hope you and starfire can put your heads together and figure something out! I'm going to keep my mouth shut with regards to the "government" and the the vets equip not working for geese.....poop is...

Utah, I live in south eastern Kansas, in a suburb of Wichita called Andover. It's early spring here, temps are EXTREMELY unpredictable right now. 80 one day 45 the next! Our summers are hot, and humid and we experience a lot of drought. I have been irregular with worming. I certainly do not want...

Starfire 669 What an awesome hubby! Your Belgian mix is BEAUTIFUL! or I guess I should say HANDSOME! Your big babies are darling! Oh how I LOVE my geese! I have Hansel my year old African gander, two female saddle back pom's, a 5 day old gosling & a 1 day old gosling. The 2 babies are from...

UTAH do you only worm your geese if there's a problem? You don't do preventative worming? Curious....

UTAH VERY VERY GOOD INFO! Having been in the veterinary field for alot of years I can 100% confirm that ANY vet can do fecal analysis AND draw blood AND do a scraping of the lesions! Harry Rooster, if your ganders are hard to handle, I'd just focus on catching one & getting it to the vet. Let...

Starfire669 that last post was for you.....newbie on here... LB & UTAH I want to say thanks again for your support & willingness to share your knowledge. You guys held my hand through all this and I'm so so very grateful! You guys are angels! And a HUGE source of information and support to...

That's a real good question? I'm not sure. The reason I special ordered Hansel/Gretel is bcuz I specifically wanted africans & felt that was the only sure way. I don't trust atwoods and tractor supply to know their breeds. I would LOVE to have a "super African" or "dewlap African" but I haven't...

Starfire669 I posted this earlier. ...least I thought I did? tufted roman is what it looks like to me.....however I'm not an expert. ...

Thanks for all the compliments on Hansel! I'm in love with him! Starfire669 he's an african. I special ordered him last year along with his mate who passed in Jan. I DESPERATELY want a Belgian! I was in the veterinary field for 10yrs and we worked with Boeing's bomb dogs & also our cities...

this is my beloved Hansel.....proud daddy of sloan & slade! His partner Gretel died very unexpectedly in early January. She wasn't even a year old. I found her in the backyard. She looked like she had died in her sleep. . Thank goodness I already had darla & lydikins! I'm not sure he even...

LB, No the eggs didn't stink......how long should I leave them for her to on before I remove them? And any suggestions on how to do that without traumatizing her? It's her last two eggs....do I just take one at a time? Then what if she still insists on setting on nothing? I'll give babies...
