Thank you all so much for the great advice. Roger has always been such a sweetie and now seems a little more interested in the new babies. She has approached them several times and seems to gently nip but never hurts them. We will continue to keep them close but separated and hopefully Rogers...

Thanks for the advice. Thats what I was thinking slow and easy. Roger will climb on my wife and not let everyone near her. She runs all the peacocks off and my pitbull won't come out to the barn when she is out, but these 4 little yellow things are freaking her out. We will be looking around...

Folks need your help. We have female toulousse and she has been laying eggs. We took them after her sitting on them for two weeks. No gander so great for baking. Away have been looking for mate with no luck. Finally the local feed store had baby goslings, but they are Chinese. My wife and...

I have a friend with lots of baby ducks, not sure of breed but she has lots. We live in Byers, east of Denver. If still interested I will let her know. I'm looking for gander goose, African/Toul , it doesn't matter as long as it is friendly. The goose my wife has now climbs into her lap and...

Folks, I'm bringing my granddaugthers and we are looking for TAME gander, toul or african we really doing care, but it must be tame. The goose my wife has now jumps in her lamp and plays with her hair. So we are hoping to find it at the swap. Anyone bringing geese (ganders) ??? Terry in Byers

I will be going to the Brighton bird swap on Mothers day this year, and hopefully they will have some there. I need to get her a mate because when she is sitting in my wife's lap I can't come near them or she will come after me. She is fine when my wife is not around but as soon as she sees...

Folks, I have been visiting this site off and on because we got a Toulouse from a neighbor that was moving. We have had her almost a year and can't seem to put weight on her. She seems fine, eats everything she wants. Has full access to food/water/grasses and anything else she can find. Is...

I'm new to the site and also to the bird swap. I do have 4 pair of 1 year old peacocks blues I think and want to take them to the bird swap this weekend. Not sure what a ask for them, or if they would be worth taking up there. Just was looking for infor. Also hane two year male looking for...

My blues lay eggs everywhere until they start to set, then they will lay in one area (different every year) I have boxes around but they won't use them. I have even put eggs I find laying around in the boxes and they are not interested in the boxes. They usually lay under the red cedars and...

My neighbor gave me two India blues male/female. That was 7 years ago. Now have 4 pairs (1 year olds) and one 2 year old male for sale. Also added a white hen. Looking for white male. I have been giving babies away for three years and now most of my neighbors have birds. My hen has from 8 to...

My name is Terry Thompson. I live in Byers Colorado and have been raising game birds for almost 8 years. Last year a snow storm took my netting down and I haven't replaced it yet (cost!!), so no birds now. I do have peacocks, and ducks. I want to get chickens for eggs this year but not sure...
