I'm looking to sell a very mixed family of ducks. A Golden 300 Hybrid Layer Duck, An Ancona, Cayuga, Runner mix and their three ducklings (less than a week old). We have too many birds in our flock to keep the babies and I'd feel bad taking them away from their doting/protective mom. The drake...- September

I have an Ancona Drake that 'fathered' three ducklings this year that I plan to keep. He's a beautiful Drake, about 1 1/2 years old and mostly Blue and white. I'm only looking to sell him because I don't want fertile eggs any more. Our flock is as big as were going to let it get. I have him...- September

Hi Coloradans! My American Buff goose needs a friend or a mate. Is anyone looking to sell/rehome a young adult American buff Gander? Or any breed of female goose?- September

I'll try the feed store, they might even let me post a little 'wanted poster' type thing. There is one rescue I've seen post on Craigslist a few times about taking unwanted farm animals. I might call them to see if they have any to re-home. I'm not sure if Nini would adopt a gosling or not... -

I'm leaning towards keeping my Goose, the idea of selling her was not sitting well :( I'm too attached. Does anyone know of someone in Colorado looking to sell a juvenile/adult (preferably female) goose? -

I looked a bit in the sales thread. For some reason I have the worst time navigating the 'buy sell trade' part of the site. That said, I did see a lot of goslings for sale, but not local and I think it would be wiser to get an adult. :) I'll ask in the American Buff thread though, thats a... -

So I know this thread is a little 'aged' but I'm hoping someone might know where in Colorado I could get a Juvenile/adult goose? I have a 1 year old American Buff and she needs a companion (preferably another girl). -

That could be good. :) I'm feeling better about this than selling her for sure. I just hope my household doesn't loose it if I find her a friend. What ever happens I'll let you know. :D Thank you! -

I will, for now I haven't heard from anyone on my local thread and I dont want to post her to craigslist.. I still hate the idea of giving her up. If by some weird happen chance someone local is selling another Buff Goose I might get her a mate and just hope that my household is okay with it... -

Thanks Livin, That she may not be being overly aggressive makes me feel a little better about it. I'll miss her but it probably is the most sensible thing. -
My goose tried to drown one of my ducks. .
It could be that she was trying to mate her at first (confused goose?) but then she just stopped and sat on top of her. The duck had gone so still I thought maybe I was too late. I separated her for now. Luckily we have another yard that will work for a while. I don't think it would go over... -

Thanks Buff :/ I guess I have to figure out if I can keep her separate and get her another goose..or find her a new home. -

Heh, yeah, sorry about the two threads. I wasn't sure where people would be browsing this morning so I went post crazy. -

Thanks for your help, Livin. I'll try to find her a new home with other geese. -

She went to the vet and was put on antibiotics when she was little. I had been assuming they'd correct me if it turned out she was male. I'm pretty sure she's laid a few eggs as well. I've collected some that are much bigger and whiter than my ducks eggs. -

I thought about getting her a friend, but do you think that would stop her from doing this again with the ducks? -

She definitely got a lot of attention as a gosling and still gets a bit more than the ducks. If I put her back with the others is she likely to keep doing it? :/ I realize this is probably a silly question, I'm just hopeful I wont have to find her a new home.
