    Looking for an embden gander in PA

    I'm looking to purchase an adult embden gander to add to our breeding flock. We are looking to breed larger sized geese and need the gander to be of substantial size (20+lbs).

    How many eggs will fit in the Nurture Right 360?

    My Pilgrim egg incubation saga.

    A sad update to my saga: I’ve lost two goslings over the course of the past week. I found the male with the deformed beak dead by the water trough early last week. This was not a major surprise, as I wasn’t sure how well he would be able to eat with the beak deformity. Several days later...

    My Pilgrim egg incubation saga.

    I vacillated back and forth for a long time with the decision to get geese for our hobby farm due to concerns about housing and noise. I wanted geese mostly for lawn control and possibly for meat eventually so I didn’t care too much about the breed other than wanting to get geese that were more...

    Happy to join the community.

    I've been working on establishing a hobby farm in Pennsylvania. We now have 14 chickens, 2 ducks, 6 Muscovy, and 3 geese. I have been increasingly lurking on this site over the past year and figured that it was time to actually join.
