My Welsh harlequin ducklings are a little over a month old now and starting to get their feathers and their spots. I’m not sure which one is the male. We did order a male duckling, but I don’t see the green coming in yet. When will the green neck come in?
Hi! Yes, I decided to just get the extra large one. I haven’t moved them in yet since we have to get their new run all set up. Set the posts in concrete and all that fun stuff 🙃 I’ll let you know when we get them moved in though!
Well, in my experience, Chinese geese are very loud. However, I do notice the females are quieter than males. Chinese are also the best goose laying breed out there. You can expect probably anywhere from 40-60 eggs from a goose a year. To tell male and female apart, I started noticing...
That’s a good idea. The difficult part would be hauling it. We’ve had a chicken coop that was built by us and it weighed at least 800 lbs. We had to move the coop since we were moving. We couldn’t barely lift it so we had to call a moving company. They only had 4 guys come, and that definitely...
I’m going to be getting a coop from the OverEZ brand. Originally, we were going to build a large chicken coop ourselves, but we have way too many other project going on so we won’t have the time to build one ourselves.
Currently, we have 10 full grown chickens who have outgrown their current...
Yes, she did end up having kits! I now know what happened. We bred her on May 27th, but she didn’t take to that breeding even though there were several successful fall offs. On the morning of June 4th, we saw a bunch of fur pulled everywhere and hay stashed everywhere. It was obviously way too...
Lol that’s a good idea. If my gander got aggressive with me, I’d just stand there and then hold onto his neck before he would bite me. But I think I’ll try your idea if a goose gets aggressive, it’s kind of like reverse psychology.
My main concern is aerial predators. I had Chinese geese and they would put one eye up to the sky when they saw anything pass by and just watch whatever was passing by with their heads tilted. They loved to honk whenever something seemed out of the ordinary so it was like they were giving out a...
I’m actually also leaning towards maybe getting Pilgrim geese? They are smaller in size than Toulouse and have about the same temperament as Toulouse from what I’ve read. It looks like also lay just a bit more eggs a year than Toulouse. So I’m thinking of possibly going with Pilgrims. Has anyone...
