    Pilgrim Geese thread

    We have a lone goose, she survived a predator attack a year ago, her mate and her near hatching nest did not, she is tough, she lost a good share of her beak but is fine. Would love to get some hatching eggs to provide her some company!

    Prices on guineas?

    This can be answered by those who sell or those who buy! I am raising guineas, using an incubator, and getting quite a few and having good luck! My questions is: How much do you sell yours for or how much are you willing to pay for guineas? I have them broken into 4 categories- new babies...
