Quote: Not in muscovys no drake feather at all very little difference in voice, the small eye ring suggests female but is not conclusive .

Quote: Well the National Call Breeders list 36 on their posters and I expect there might be a few that they couldn't get pictures of. there was no information about what is rarest, so you go figure. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Quote: Heck no! Central NC is more than I can stand! 17F here too.

Quote: Crazy 1 Get off you butt and go put down fresh litter. Crazy 2 Research the 'deep litter system'

Quote: Not with Pigs! they will eat them if they catch them. Pigs will eat anything that they can knock down. Pilgrims are the easy sex linked geese to get . Cotton Patch and Shetland really are rare and pricy but the trick is to find ones to buy....

Quote: The APA covers US and Canada. Other countries have their own Standards and they don't always agree. I think the UK may have more geese since they are traditional Christmas meals there.

Yay Chicks! : Okay, I think I fixed it so that the link works now. I looked it up on google and they appear to be Grey Chinese. Do you suppose they will survive there on their own if they have been dumped? Do the other dumped domestics survive for long? If they do why not these?

Quote: And you can tell the difference HOW? No BooBoo GMO has been changed by man by definition. The exact same thing might be found in a mutation that would be natural. I know of at least one medicine that is based on such a mutation that probably would not be allowed if it were manmade...

Fine, quit using Salt don't eat anything with minerals or vitamins, they are all chemicals. All Life is based on chemicals so R.I.P. and let Nature recover the chemicals that are now you.

The tufted are docile which sometimes means they are bullied by ducks and chickens. they are very short legged and can't outrun the other birds. That doesn't mean they are quiet though besides raising the alarm like other geese at intruders they will also alarm if other poultry head in their...

not touching the GMO issue but the North gets longer day length in Summer and longer nights in Winter. South TX is much more consistent in day/night length.~gd

Quote: I probably won't since I can't find where they get their goslings from. If they don't raise their own, they are going tp keep their supplyer secret because many would try to cut out the middleman ie them. True Pomeranians are hard to find, and if you throw in a rare color and a decent...

Assuming she is in a location that you find suitable for a nest I would start stealing a few eggs at a time because if you steal them all at once she might move her nest. If it is a bad location steal them all and place a couple where you want her to nest this only works about 40% of the time...

Quote: I fed alfafa pellets (pet store)and cubes(horses & cattle) AS WELL AS GRAIN BASED FEEDS. the geese seem to like some roughage in their diet. The pellets meant for rodents don't work very well because they have something added to help wear the teeth of rodents down [they never quit...
