    Bringing Home fully-grown geese.

    Someone has offered us a trio of fully-grown geese, we're supposed to go pick them up tomorrow. What should I know about bringing fully-grown animals around? So far I've only ever raised chicks or ducklings, so we've never had a problem confining them. These geese have been part of a large...

    LOST AND SAD DUCK AT THE PARK

    You are better off trying to find some one who already owns ducks and could take him in: try Craigslist maybe? Best of luck, I'm glad you were there.

    On Lockdown! - My Ancona hatch *Pics on p. 3, 5, 6*

    Metzer Farms has a lovely description of exactly what is happening during the (seemingly) endless hatching process on their Live Cam Page: http://www.metzerfarms.com/LiveHatchingVideo.cfm?CustID=1019878#Calendar (This link leads to the calender, just scroll up to see what I'm talking about. )

    Do Ducks feather out later than Chickens?

    I have Ducklings and Chicks, the same age. About 2 1/2 weeks old now. The chicks already have most of their little wings feathers and are getting lots of feathers on their bodies, but the ducklings are nothing but down. Is this normal?

    My children loved your youtube videos! Thanks for posting them. You have done very well with your ducks, sounds to me like they are two in a million.

    Nankins Versus Incubators

    Here is my dilemma: Should I get a small flock of Nankins, or purchase an incubator? (I would like to hatch duck and chicken eggs.) So far, my thoughts are that if I got Nankins, (I'm thinking 6 or 8 hens and a rooster) they would have their own small coop and would have occasional access...

    Zoo Pictures

    I really wish this were true. But I don't. I don't even have flamingo's. These pictures were taken at the zoo: peacocks and ducks roam free there.-

    He's growing up so fast!

    Wow! That is quite a size difference for only two weeks! (At least this gal thinks so, but she's only raised chickens.) I can't wait to watch my ducklings grow. :)

    Assorted Duckling guesses (w/ Pics)

    What's the difference in Pekins and Fawn and White Runners? I have 5 yellow chicks, 2 of which are fat and round and fluffy (I think these are Pekins) and three of which are frequently standing up very straight and tall just like a pencil( which I think are Runners.) But never having been...

    Assorted Duckling guesses (w/ Pics)

    I think I got most of them! *is excited* I had no idea what type of duck I would prefer, and I was really hoping for a varied assortment so that I could figure them out. And I got it! The only duck I KNOW I don't have is a Khaki Campbell. I don't think I have a Black Runner or a grey...

    Eagle Attack

    I thought bald eagles had recovered and were no longer on the protected species act. Am I incorrect?

    What ducks aren't -or- yes your expectations can be too high

    Thank you for this timely post: Now I need to call my two little sin here and read it to them. The hardest part of teaching them about caring for animals is explaining the whole "What makes you happy might terrify them" thing.
