I'm thinking about getting a breeding pair of Peafowl "Peacocks" in Northern Indiana, and could use any helpful feedback! I probably won't get them until mid summer since I need to ready my barn for them like insulating, building perches, a nesting box and making the attached coop higher. I also...

I chose a nice big farm with kids and a variety of other animals to place my geese in. The lady coming to get them tomorrow seems very nice and I'm confident that they'll be well cared for there. I hate to see them go and I'll miss Bright Eyes, but it'll be better for them I think. On the up...

They certainly keep me entertained. lol

Yes they bathe just like ducks but they don't tend to defecate the second they get in the water like the ducks do. lol Their water stays just a little cleaner. ;-) They walk around quietly a lot but when they sound off it's REAL noisy, especially when a stranger approaches them or I'm letting...

French Toulouse Geese in North Judson, Indiana I have 4 French Toulouse geese (2 male, 2 female) and will sell a mating pair for $50 or all 4 for $80. Price is negotiable and might trade for Call ducks. Good layers and most every egg was fertile this year. In fact, they're still mating. Metzer...

I have 2 male & 2 female French Toulouse I need to rehome due to my health. They turn 1 year old tomorrow, great layers, most all eggs fertile and still breeding. Metzer stock and good healthy birds. No, they aren't overly friendly especially to strangers but will tolerate the person that tends...

I have 4 French Toulouse I raised from 3 days old and they're jerks because they're geese. lol When they threaten me I very gently take them by the neck, jockey them into a comfortable position and pet/cuddle them until they calm down. They walk away confused and bewildered....confrontation over. :)

Thanks for replying. It's been in the mid to high 80's here in Indiana for the last week but they have shade, a fan in the barn, 2 pools that I change 3 x a day when it's hot like this along with 2 buckets of drinking water. They're getting Brewer's Yeast, oyster shells, and the same food I've...

My hens are dying off one by one. The first one was a week ago and now the second one won't live to see the sun rise. Help! Symptoms: Quit laying. Listless and weak. Quit eating. Can't seem to quack. Head shaking. Not all out flinging it around, just quick flicks. HOT! I picked her up to move...

Adorable little gooses!! I have pics of my Frenchies from 2 days to present, I just haven't been able to get in here to post them and now it's time for bed. lol I will work on it tomorrow. Love your babies. <3

I just got 4 French Toulouse goslings last week that are SO adorable (and smart it seems)! I just have a few questions. They're tagged so I know the genders right now, but will I be able to tell them apart when they get older? How can you tell a goose and gander apart once they're grown? Size...

Yay! Glad he's doing better!

Thanks Sun, I'll leave them alone now since there's only a couple weeks to go. Fingers crossed!!

Yeah I got mine directly from them a year ago this month' They'd shipped 12, 1 died in transit and one was sickly from the start and died at around 2 months. The rest were good healthy ducks and still are. Hey you know about eggs, when do they visibly start moving around in there?
