Review by '' on item 'French Toulouse'
We adopted a Toulouse-African cross goose and a Toulouse-Sebastapol gander at 9 months old. The goose is very sweet, curious, and adventurous. She loves exploring. She is not very talkative and moderately loud when she does talk. We love her! Five stars. The gander is aggressive toward people...- ZorotheDuck

Review by '' on item 'American'
We love our American Buffs! We have two ganders and one goose who will be one year old in March. They were all raised together and get along very well with each other. They are curious, friendly, and have very distinctive personalities! They like to talk to with us and run to greet us when we...- ZorotheDuck

severely damaged feathers from gander fight
Thank you! I figured it was probably just a matter of time for him to heal, but I feel so sorry for him :-( He's our favorite, with a super funny personality, and is so friendly. Being a novice goose owner, I'm always paranoid that I should be doing more. I am learning first hand how powerful...- ZorotheDuck

severely damaged feathers from gander fight
Hi everyone, We have a American Buff gander who got beat up by our Toulouse-Sebastapol gander.

Advice for injured (pet) mallard!
Update: Tiger is hardly limping at all this morning. So relieved! My husband and I checked under his wing thoroughly, just in case. My husband held him while I gently looked under his wing and looked through his downy feathers for any sign of external injury. There was none. He was totally mad...- ZorotheDuck

Advice for injured (pet) mallard!
Thank you everyone for your replies! @Miss Lydia Clipping his wings never occurred to me, but that is a good idea for next season. There is only one week left of hunting season, and Tiger will spend that time inside (convalescing). I can’t believe duck hunting season never crossed my mind. Like...- ZorotheDuck

Advice for injured (pet) mallard!
Our mallard drake, Tiger, was hatched and raised in our home. He is imprinted on us and started our entire obsession with ducks. Being a mallard, he can, of course, fly. He usually flies around our property and doesn't venture too far. Yesterday, he respoinded to the sound of a duck lure and...- ZorotheDuck

Introducing new ducks to geese
Thank you for your reply! We have a large fenced garden that I was planning to put the new flock in during the day until everyone gets used to each other. Our geese can visit everyone with a safe barrier and the new flock can get used to their new home. After a few days, I was thinking I could...- ZorotheDuck

endangered ducks?
The Livestock Conservancy has a Conservation Priority List: https://livestockconservancy.org/index.php/heritage/internal/conservation-priority-list It is my understanding that when statistics like “80 left” are mentioned those numbers refer to laying hens.- ZorotheDuck
