Standard colors would be my preference.

I have a moderate amount of experience with these geese as I lived in an area where they came around frequently to hatch their babies. I know they can be agressive, but I took a great liking to them. I was looking for a younger pair but will take a breeding pair or two. I have a few acres and...

I am looking for a pair of egyptian geese. My daughter and I have fallen in love with a wild pair at her grandmother's in Miami, and she would love to make it next years 4H project.

I was about to post the same question. Did you get a reply? I was willing to buy from one of the online tores but they're pinioned, and I have a problem with intentionally, permanently, disabling an animal. I'm open to any suggestion or recommendations.

She is my primary concern. I just wish I could get her to sit on my property where it's safer.

help! My peking finally went broodie. So the problem is that she is sitting in my neighbor's yard and I have no way to protect her there. I tried moving her nest, she is now ignoring those eggs and returned there to lay more eggs today. What do I do now?

I've been running my incubators for the last 5 months without much of a fluctuation. Temperature and humidity are pretty constant, I know this because I have a log sheet attached to each incubator where we log the temp twice a day. as for my drake, IDK if he's related to my females as I...

i recently hatched about 30 eggs in 3 different batches. (They are all eggs from my 2 pekin and 1 peking drake. We've been hatching now for several months with about a 60% hatch rate.) However the last few have had a jump in deaths, splayleg, and now this... She also has splayleg to boot! It...

Hello, I'm relatively new to BYC, and I happen to have 3 adult pekin ducks; Ying, Yang, and Aflac. (I'm sorry, my kids named them.) Either way, one of my daughters recognized this... We also keep chickens and bubbles in their eyes is usually not a positive sign. Any suggestions or...

I have a similar problem with the only hatched silky chick...any suggestions?

My ducks are free range, so unfortunately they are vulnerable. But there was NO trace at all of an attack, no noise, nothing, and that was what bothered me most. At night they are completely closed up, but during the day they pretty much go whereever they want.

No, sorry. But I'll keep looking...

I put niacin in all my chick starter for both my mail order ducks and chickens, the ducks longer than the chicks. She was on wet hay, so I stoppd using that. We increased the temperature in the incubator to 101.5, but then the last batch appeared to be developing too quickly, so we reduced it...

4 successful hatches and 2 died hatching.

Thank you very much.
