    When can i expect eggs from my White Chinese goose?

    Thank you very much! I am really excited about getting goose eggs. I wanted to breed the white chines, but after discovering there agressive personality i decided to hang onto her and maybe try a different breed later

    Hi Everyone! I have a White Chinese goose that i bought as a sexed gosling from Metzer Farms in early May. Unfortunately, i had to get rid of the male that i got with her because he got very aggresive and killed a chicken. She is now about 8 monthes old, however, the daylight is very limited...

    Gizzard Worms in Geese?

    Thanks, guys! My geese are kept where there are no other waterfowl and I have only had chickens before, so it probably wont be a problem. I will give them apple cider vinegar and ask some locals if its a problem.

    Gizzard Worms in Geese?

    Broody Hen Thread!

    This morning I put my small wire pet cage in the coop with a little water and food. I wanted to leave the floor open wire like you said, but the wires are like 6 inches apart, so I put the tray back in with a little straw. I put Rose in there, because she has been broody for a long time. Tonight...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Thanks! I just moved them to the brooder box with the hen. There is three chicks, 2 yellow and one black with a little yellow. It was really nice to see her teach them to drink. She dipped her beak in the water and dropped a little on each of their beaks. There is 3 more eggs that didn't hatch...
