    Geese refuse to go in at night

    In general geese don’t like to be in confined places, they instinctually prefer wide open spaces where they can see predators coming from a distance, that’s probably their main gripe. unfortunately for them they are better off in a secure place after dark. It’ll be a chore but you’ll just have...

    Geese refuse to go in at night

    Can any critters get in the barn? If they saw something spooky in there they’ll definitely be afraid. Another possibility is rain, has it rained recently? The sound of anything pinging off the roof can be terrifying to geese. Whatever the issue is consistency is your friend with geese, doing...

    Nutrena layer feed okay in winter?

    I have the same issue with my ducks, them not liking oyster shell. I started mixing some oyster shell in with their feed everyday with water right next to their bowl, they’re usually in such a rush to gobble it down that they swallow most of it before they notice I snuck in those nasty shells...

    House drama

    It’s alright, I botched the delivery on the contest, I needed to pay better attention. It’s the editing of this post that irritates me. I can own that my post calling my duck by a name that starts with K and using scrambled symbols sort of violates rule 1 “No inappropriate or adult content...

    Just how noisy are geese?

    A lot of it depends on personality but breed can also affect their noisiness. I’ve heard Chinese type geese are more vocal than western breeds but again that can depend on individual personality. For the most part from what I’ve observed geese only make loud honks when they’re excited and...

    That people weren’t blatant hypocrites, the whole “rules for thee but not rules for these other people” situations. I understand that moderation is guaranteed as a difficult and thankless job, I worked as a mod for several years a long time ago on a site far far away and balancing the workload...

    House drama

    A fisher cat was allegedly spotted in the area which gave me the incentive to finally get all my ducks in one secure cage, previously I’ve had them split between three cages which was meant to be temporary until everyone got along, the older ducks with this years babies. Everyone’s been getting...

    Why is our duck hunching over like this

    I think he might be trying to boom. Drakes do this sort of display where they stretch their head low, then stretch back up and then make a booming or grunting sound. It’s sort of like the “Bend and Snap” followed by a low BOOM and then sometimes darting around and displaying. My pekin drakes...

    CAN I USE A GRAVITY FEEDER FOR MY GEESE???

    Honestly I can’t say because I’ve never used a gravity feeder. The main concern I’d have when thinking about it is the fact that geese need water when they eat, and wet beaks leaving water in the feed will grow mold if it sits for too long. Gravity feeders could attract rats too if they can...

    My Embeden 3 year old is sick

    Feel around his chest until you find his keel, if it’s jutting out from his body it means he’s very underweight and has been off his food for awhile. Is there a chance he could have gotten into anything metallic? Like swallowing or chewing on bits of metal, sockets, rounds, wires, peeling...

    Rant about Blood Thirsty Quail

    I’ve noticed that too, panic seems to trigger aggression, in mine I’ve noticed that the one who panics most usually ends up being the one to get attacked.

    Let’s Talk About Bird Flu

    For me personally where I live it’s when I see the flocks moving overhead, now through November, and again in February/March. Overall I’m careful from now until spring if I know I, going to be down in the valley near any of the rice fields and wetlands or near anyone else’s flock though. I used...
