    ISO Cotton Patch OR Pilgrim Goslings for shipping or East TX.

    It seems like 2021 was not a good year for pilgrims! I had a preorder at a hatchery that came and went for the entire season, and Metzer was sold out for the year in Jan, with none available this year : / I'm trying to establish a flock, so if anyone has a lead on a breeder that will be...

    LF hatcheries or breeders that ship for Pilgrim OR Cotton patch

    I just came from Metzer where I was thinking I could reserve some goslings and it looks like he's sold out for the year by end of Jan and offering no shipping dates. Been wanting auto sexing geese for a long time now and I haven't had much luck finding them for sale. Any ideas? I'm in NE Texas...

    Incubator: I need to make an investment call

    I'm looking at an incubator for investment purposes. I would like to be hatching heritage and rare breed turkeys, ducks, chickens and geese, maybe quail or pigeon (just to keep options open.) I'm even open to producing balut for market if I had the opportunity and learned how. My original...

    Desperately seeking auto sexing geese in East Texas

    I promised myself this year I would get my geese, and in the 2 weeks it took for me to get my first paycheck since shutdown Metzer is sold fresh out of Pilgrims and everyone I've reached out to on my local groups doesnt have any birds available, and I can't find another breeder that ships day...

    The person I got them from also has pomeranian, so I'm willing to bet mixed.

    (Pilgrim) Goose Advice

    Last spring I purchase at a swap a pilgrim gosling that was white, so we figured "boy". Well. "Percy" seems to have started laying eggs, and now I'm noticing that "she" has one gray spot on her head. So I guess she's either not a pure pilgrim or very poor color genetics. Should I get her a...

    Pilgrim Gander over Saddleback Pom Goose?

    I'm not working on any kind of breeding project-- It's just that I have this one pilgrim gander and I need a girlfriend for him and since that's a problem most people have I figure I'll have better luck buying sexed females from a hatchery and raising them than mature single geese. The big...

    Black Masked (Gypsy) Muscovies ISO

    I'd like to get in touch with someone who breeds smooth masked muscovies with very little to no carunkles. Any colors starting out would be fine, it's going to be a long term project of mine. I'm located in east texas, so would prefer to deal with someone who ships ducklings if possible? I...

    Where did you buy your Pilgrims?

    I'm looking to add a trio of pilgrims to my farm (or maybe a whole clutch and pick my best breeders if affordable). True autosexing is my main want in addition to the breed's usual statistics and I just read an article about someone who bought from a hatchery and ended up with white "male...

    A Barbezieux Thread.

    Last July I was contacted by an old acquaintance that had raised this breed from hatching eggs and needed a refresher course on processing so I came over and we butchered out 3 Barb roosters. They were about 5 months old as I recall, and I had never seen or heard of the breed before so I was...

    A super exotic question: Svart Hona vs. Ayam Cemani

    A little... so far they look to be about the same size and pretty much interchangable. A matter of "pick your country of origin"?

    A super exotic question: Svart Hona vs. Ayam Cemani

    Does anyone have enough stats or experience on the breed to contrast the two "blackest breeds"? They both look similar in coloring, type, and breed background to me. Does one breed run larger in body than the other? or does one make a better layer than the other?

    sexing chicks using a magnet

    Necro-post! We decided to test this out for my daughter's 6th grade science project. We tested it on a large litter of kittens without any prior knowledge of their gender. I did the pendulum, wrote down how I read it, then passed the kitten to my husband to confirm or refute my "readings" by...

    How are "Swedish Flower hens" different from "Icelandic chickens"? Or are they different breeds at a

    I'm just scratching the surface on Icies as a solid winter laying breed, and I keep seeing "swedish flower hens" come up. Are the breeds different? or a color variety of the same chicken by a different name? I'm little concerned with flashy colors, but am interested in the Icelandic's reputation...

    Calling all Penedesencas Owners/Breeders

    I'm on the western corner of maricopa county myself (Tonopah) and still working on trying to get a source on hatching eggs. I saw an ebay auction this week from Illinois for wheatens and partridge but there's no way in hell I dare trying to ship eggs when the 10 day forecast is slated to be over...
