    Biting goose-mum

    My gosling happily nibbles bites and chews me. I just wondered whether goslings do this to their real bird mum as well. If they do, poor girl!

    3 month old peafowl. Food? UK

    My peafowl hatched in February making them at least 3 months old now. I've read they should be on Game Grower 2 now. Finding this not as simple to buy in the UK as that sounds. Can anyone recommend a feed/brand available in the UK?

    Goose friend

    I have a 10 day old Sebastopol gosling. I'm pretty sure she's a female from her fluff. I read the post about not having lone geese. I'd planned on integrating her with my ducks and peacocks but the article says she'll be unhappy without another goose. If I do decide to get another goose...

    Chick crumb

    I spent hours trying to source gosling food with adequate niacin and drew a blank. I managed to get this from a store. It says it's suitable for waterfowl and specifies goslings. But nothing about niacin. https://glassongrain.co.uk/henergise/chick-crumb/ Spent further hours trying to get hold...

    What duckling is this?

    Saw this beautiful duckling on a review of a feed. What is it? Google lens has suggested Magpie duck? I love the feet and the bill!

    Chick crumb

    I've taken her out onto the grass to have a nibble and a tug, as she does that to everything else, but seems only mildly interested in the lawn. She's eaten picked grass I've given her and some salad leaves as well.

    I have marmite and high strength vitamin B complex tablets (for humans) in the house! Are they of any use?

    Chick crumb

    Will it do for now before proper stuff arrives? Will it do her harm? Would i be better off feeding her something else before proper gosling food comes?

    Chick crumb

    I have a 7 day old Sebastopol gosling. My son accidentally gave her food to our peacocks so I had to rush to the store to get her some food. I got this. Is this OK to feed her?

    Ducklings via post UK

    I had been incubating x6 mandarin/Carolina wood ducks. x4 of the eggs were infertile, leaving me with just two. They both died yesterday due to shrinkwrapping, despite my best efforts to save them. I keep seeing videos from the US where they receive a box of ducklings in the mail. Is there...

    Goose egg day 28

    Never incubated/hatched geese before. I have 2 Sebastopol geese on day 28. One egg wobbles a fair bit, not seen anything from the other one. They're in with x2 mandarin ducks who are on day 29. I've just put a safety hole in one which pipped 24h ago and one in the other. Both wobbling now...

    Trimming Peafowl claws

    I have two Peafowl who are approaching 3 months old. Just moved them outside to a pen (10-14 days ago perhaps). Been going well, been letting them out periodically and supervising them. Just bumming around in the garden, bit too skittish to explore. Been out during the day for last 3 days, no...

    Have I killed them?

    Should I be seeing movement on candling at this stage, or is this more when they are less developed, ie heart beating etc?

    Have I killed them?

    Good luck! I always get excited for hatch day, then I realise it just involves staring at an egg all day

    Have I killed them?

    I'm currently incubating 2 Sebastopol Goose eggs. I've never done geese before and am new to cooling. They're on Day 14 now I think. Took them out and sprayed them. Meant to leave them for 15 minutes but I forgot and didn't realise until they'd been out for I'd estimate 45 minutes. Room 23.5...

    Disability aids

    My Peachick has a problem with her leg. Took her to vets but all they offered was murder. I've tried to help her myself but been unsuccessful due to being unable to sedate her. She hops around on the good leg but this is now a bad leg as she got bumble foot and now hops around on her...
