    Duckling color

    What color will this duckling mature into? I started with a male Rouen and a female pekin. This is the third generation and they had been 75 percent wild color, 25 percent white.

    Feeding goslings grass

    Update: I did build me a very rudimentary chicken wire basket to feed grass to my goslings. I attached it to the door of the brooder so when I open it I have easy access to fill it. Here is a photo of it filled with fresh clipped grass. And when I closed the door the goslings immediately started...

    Thank you, it’s hard to believe that when I was collecting those eggs we had temperatures below zero.

    Feeding goslings grass

    I’m thinking of something like a chicken wire basket the the goslings could nibble the grass from.
