    A Barbezieux Thread.

    Poulet de Barbezieux hatched on Sunday. Interestingly they are black with white bellies and the middle toe is also white. I thought they might be crossed with something but apparently they have this pattern when hatches and then turn completely black.

    Muscovy keepers share your pics!

    They are too small to tell... Sometimes you get really small drakes and large ducks untill the drakes start growing larger than their mums.

    Geese Breed Focus - African

    All geese are excellent weeders or rather grass mowers. African and Chinese geese are suppose to have less fat in the meat.

    Yes... In fact they told everyone to keep their birds indoors before they discovered bird flu in the UK. They did it as precaution after finding it on turkey farm in Holland!

    All poultey keeper in the UK have been ordered to keep their birds indoor (under roof) for 30 days starting on 6th of December. Geese have been exempt for some reason interestingly! Hopefully it's all gone soon. We don't want it to spread. So far the disease have been recorded once in the UK -...

    Feeding hay

    No... Geese only like fresh green grass. Not even when it's long. Only short new shoots
