Goose Behavior At Night?
OK, I have small problem and I need help with a solution! My trio of geese (American pair and a single blind goose, sex unknown) currently enjoy their nights locked up in a converted indoor/outdoor dog kennel. They will sometimes go into the inside part, but spend most of their night in the... -
Feeding in Winter
Hello all! I'm wondering what everyone feeds their geese in winter? This will be my first winter with geese, I got them this past spring. Right now during the day they are on grass, and at night when they get locked up they have Purina Flock Raiser. When winter comes, we will no longer have... -
Storms In Texas! Put Geese Up???
My 3 stay in a pen during most of the day, with a shelter to get out of the rain, and I'll tell you when it starts POURING (thunder and lightening included) they just stand in it. If they are under the shelter for whatever reason, and it starts raining, they will walk out into it and just stand... -

Peacock Predators?
Thanks for the tips! We do have wire buried under the chicken coop, and we used hardware cloth (which we would likely use for the Peafowl too). So, I'm thinking build it like our coop, only MUCH MUCH bigger... -
Peacock Predators?
Hi all, I've been toying with the idea of getting a Peacock. I'm not sure if I want to free range (I have dogs, so this would be iffy) or build a pen. We have plenty of space for a pen, but I always thought most of the fun of having Peafowl is to see them wondering about the yard. :-)... -
Are peafowl friendly? Are they easy to take care of?
I am also interested in Peafowl, so I don't know too much about them yet, but I can tell you this. The male's call is LOUD. If you live in a suburban neighborhood, I would advise you not to get one, your neighbors will hate you, and you may not legally be able to keep them. We live on a... -
Chickens+Heat+Fans??
Thanks everyone! They do seem to be enjoying it. They all have their butts up to it, and their butt feathers are all being blown about. LOL. They really are enjoying it, so I'm glad I did it. I feel so bad for them too. If my husband would let me, they'd all be in my basement today and...- GracieNut

Chickens+Heat+Fans??
OK, so it is HOT today, and is going to be HOT today, so my husband was kind enough to set up the box fan with an extension cord at the front of the coop, so it's blowing (on the lowest setting) across the coop near the door (they can get out of it if they want, it's not blowing "into" the coop...- GracieNut

Blind Goose With Watery Eyes
Oh yes, he's doing great. Went straight to the food and water, and then walked right over to the doorway of the indoor part of the goose house and walked right in, he knew exactly where he was, he was chatting with the other geese, he was very calm. He could hear our rooster crowing, and our... -
Will My Cochin Hen Raise My New Chicks?
I bought 2 Polish chicks today at a swap, they can't be any older than a couple of days. I want to integrate them into my flock of Cochins (which are kept penned for most of the day), I would like to give them to one of my broody hens, but I'm not sure exactly how to go about it. Can it be...- GracieNut

Blind Goose With Watery Eyes
They already seem to be clearing up. I'm thinking he was having trouble finding his water at the other place, like you said, I think he'll be OK, but I will definitely keep an eye on him. -
Blind Goose With Watery Eyes
OK, I have a goose that is blind, who went to live somewhere else for a few days (eyes were fine when he left) and when I got him back his eyes looked like this (see pics), very watery, he doesn't seem to want to open them, he's scratching at them also. Both eyes look just like this. The place... -
Depressed Goose? PLEASE HELP
Well, Goose is home, he was placed into the goose house this evening, where he immediately went over to his bucket, washed his face, got something to eat, and then stumbled into the indoor part of the house, all the while yelling goose expletives at me and warning me about what would happen... -
Depressed Goose? PLEASE HELP
He is coming home tonight. I just hope that my other 2 accept him back. -
Depressed Goose? PLEASE HELP
I feel like a schmuck. I feel HORRIBLE! I am going to talk to her tomorrow. -
Depressed Goose? PLEASE HELP
OK, long story, so please bear with me. About 2 months ago, I ordered a pair of Holderread's top show quality goslings. As many of you know, they have a minimum order, so to make the minimum order, I ordered 4 of the "bargain gosling assortment" with the plan that I would just find homes for... -
Ornamental Grasses?
Thanks for the tip! I think the hardware cloth idea is a good one, think I'll just add it when I add the grasses. :-)
