    Kalmbach duck and goose

    Have you tried overseeding the grass with something that sprouts quickly, like annual or Perennial Rye mixed with Bluegrass?. Always use a good starter fertilizer with it. We do it twice a year, fall and spring, to help keep fresh grass. You do have to keep them off it a few weeks, till it gets...

    What Dog Breed Do You Want Today!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    I've always loved giant sized dogs, especially my Leonbergers and Pyrenean Mastiff. All mine have passed away and I'm getting ready to get another Leonberger. Then I want a Pyrenean Mastiff and a Doberman. This was my two Leonbergers (from Left: Aslan, Misty, and my Pyrenean Mastiff "Rutger")

    Need to verify goose anatomy to give liquid medication

    Hello Poultry friends. I have ducks and geese but have never had to give oral meds before. Have a friend that needs to give a liquid medication to a goose. I understand duck mouth anatomy. Is the goose mouth anatomy identical? I assume it is but wanted to verify. For some reason, I cannot find...

    Horses!

    They have two things sometimes sprayed on hay. One is a bacterial innoculant to help reduce the chances of any mold on the hay, but it's supposed to actually improve the hays palatability. The other is a preservative for hay baled at higher moistures. I'm guessing they used one of these and...

    Friendlier geese?

    We live against 3500 of conservation land so there are tons of predators. We use walk in movable pens and move them daily. That way the geese always have fresh grass, but they are protected. Many predators hunt in the day, especially when feeding babies, and they will kill geese. I'd never leave...

    I want to get goslings next year but don't know where to start!

    I have Pilgrim Geese which are widely liked for being more docile than other breeds. But I'd still caution you that if you can't tolerate being bitten, geese may not be for you. You have to understand body language and how to hold your space and not be afraid. They are definitely not for...

    Multiple deaths; unknown cause; what's best course of action?

    You should be able to take in a body to a state ag extension for an inexpensive autopsy and diagnosis. If you post the state you are in, maybe somebody can tell you the specifics of who to call and where to go?

    3 out of 4 ducks died suddenly

    Is it very hot where you are? Do you change their water every day that they swim in and drink?

    Bear Attack

    Get a Marine Airhorn! We use them when I foster giant breed dogs in case there is a pack fight and somebody is alone. It will stop anything! This what I'm talking about...

    Best way to introduce dog with high chase drive to flock

    The first thing you need to do is teach the dog the "Leave It!" command. Make sure it understands that command very well with even high value treats on the ground and it will leave them. Then you can begin training it with chickens. You can repeatedly walk by leashed, use the "Leave it" command...

    calling any one from missouri

    Well, the weather people have been wrong all day in St. Charles County. We've had sprinkles twice but they were predicting bad storms, hail, and even tornadoes. I put grass seed out in a few spots and had hubby fertilize one pasture for use later in the year. We are in a terrible drought here...

    Are geese right for me?

    I'm not sure that geese in a neighborhood will make you any friends. We are on 24 acres and I can hear my geese at the middle of the next property LOL Loud noise doesn't bother me but when they get going, usually in the mornings, you can't talk loud enough for a person next to you to hear it...

    *UPDATE. My wry neck ducking is not improving and I’m doing EVERYTHING I CAN! 😢

    Was this present from birth? If so it probably from egg position . You can get Mazuri Waterfowl starter feed from Chewy. You only want to feed it till 3-4 weeks old, then switch to Mazuri Maintenance feed till December. Then they go on Mazuri Waterfowl Breeder till the end of July each year. Get...

    Duck hen in crisis. Paralysis, panting, overheating

    Have you tried letting her swim in the tub? I believe I remembered people using tums for egg bound ducks or chickens but not sure if they made them into a liquid fist. As far as being thin, if she survives this I'd deworm the whole flock. We deworm twice a year with Pour on Ivermectin for...

    *UPDATE. My wry neck ducking is not improving and I’m doing EVERYTHING I CAN! 😢

    I doubt he's in pain. I'd give it more time. Young ducklings that have not been fed grit cannot digest non pelleted food yet very well. The best option is to give it Mazuri Waterfowl Starter Feed and supplement with Duravet Poultry Power Pack in the water daily. These are the two best things you...

    Do fans help cut down on the fly count?

    We used sealed motor agricultural fans in their large barn pens for our ducks, not for flies but for extra ventilation since the big 12x12' pens are in converted predator proofed stalls. We mount the fans about 2 ft off the ground and they LOVE their fans in the Missouri heat and humidity in the...
