  • I posted pics of eggs side by side and I think one is a duck egg! One is a sapostopol and the other a pilgrim but someone in this group said that sabastopol and pilgrims are the same size so why are my eggs so different?

    Hi! Unfortunately due to the loss of my breeders, I'm not selling this year - I have to hatch all the eggs I've gotten and grow out the next generation. There is a chance I may have chicks or eggs in the Fall.
    Hello,
    I'm looking at your hoop coop. It says you made this in 2013. How has it lasted? Are there any things you would change?

    Also, how difficult is it to move? Could it be used like a tractor by dragging the coop to new places every week?
    Thank you so much,
    Heather

    It's still holding up well! No trouble with it so far. I have had to replace the tarps once.

    You could probably move it that way. I had to relocate a couple of mine this past fall and it was easy to get them up on a trailer and move them with a truck. With some wheels on them I don't see why you couldn't pull one with a truck or tractor, or probably on your own though it might be a little tough.
    Hi! Thanks for replying to my forum. If I were to consider another duckling to keep mine company, how should I go about it? I could try my best to talk my landlord into allowing 2 (although 1 took a lot of begging haha), but should I just get another from tractor supply and purchase one? And would that 2nd one be okay if I looked for a farm to rehome it to after I’m done duck-sitting, will it be okay?

    Definitely, it's not your fault, you got roped into the whole thing. Maybe you can show her the thread you started so she can see that everyone agrees the best thing is to find the duckling a new home?

    that’s great idea. Do you have any tips for finding someone to take her?? I’m worried about something like a Craigslist ad because I want to insure she isn’t raised for meat.... that would be horrible

    You could post on your local thread here! What state are you in? Also, you might have a local poultry Facebook group and someone there would probably be willing to take her in.
    Pyxis - I know Canadian geese poop is dangerous to humans (diseases), do you know if domestic geese poop is just as dangerous?

    I don't think so - they shouldn't be carrying any diseases that could make you sick like wild geese might have been exposed to. I've never had any trouble, lol.
