No sorry they can't. But geese and swans can.

We had to put the eggs under a chicken as our BBW broke her eggs when she sat on them. We have 1 so far!

Well they did it! A heritage golden tom x broad breasted white. His/her name is cranberry sauce, It was the toms name.

We got a baby!!! and we had two ducks hatch from under the same hen So proud !

We have 4 pekins 3 female and 1 male. 1 of the females was hatched under a chicken and rejected by that hen. She chomped her to her skull. We thought she was done for. We brought her inside and one of our dogs was very very concerned about the baby. She survived the first night, and the next...

We started off with 4 hens as chicks. 2 black Ostralorps 2 Americanas. Then at the feed store he saw one chick that was just too cool looking, he ended up being a golden Campine. This was followed by 4 turkeys, 4 ducks, and 4 geese. We now have 12 turkeys, 20 chickens 4 ducks, 2 geese. I sell a...

We ended up getting our hen an old dog jacket and cut in some wing holes. Success no more horrible wounds! Hopefully her husband, a golden heritage and her have babies. I will post pics when we get babies. I already put 4 eggs under chickens who have gone broody. They hatched ducks before so we...

We have a pair of Embdens. Last year she went broody and we let her try to hatch 12 eggs. We candled them in the night as she was way more docile then, and it was easier to see too. 5 of the eggs were duds. the other 7 grew and grew. Then 2 turned all red all of a sudden. The last 5 grew into...

Where might I find a saddle for her? She is the type to squat many times a day, and even for us. She is very docile. The kids love it cause they can hug her. He is not to much of a dancer.

We have a heritage tom with giant spurs. He really messed up our BBW hen when he bred with he the last time. Cut her to the bone. I want a cross between the two, but I can't If he kills her in the process. How can I shorten his spurs? I have read about using a hot potatoe or super gluing wire...

So our male Embden has taken a fancy to one of our female pekins. He has an Embden wife but she is sitting on a clutch right now. I caught him mounting and penetrating her. how do i discourage this behavior. They are already in seperate pens, but he escapes to get to just this one female.

Sorry they are sideways but here they both are. This our first time with geese. And the only time I have been near geese before this it was wild Canadian geese. They are so much fun and are excellent guard animals, they tell the dogs whats going on.

Here are the pics of my lover goose. Her foot back color and her face.

I only get one egg a day so far we have spot (male) and little duck (male) sparkey (female) is chomps mother, spot is the dad. I am trying to get chomp and little duck to breed as spot and sparkey are paired up pretty good. Spot will not let little duck near sparkey ever.
