    2 great geese to a good home

    Hi, We live in Coupland, TX (Central TX area). I have a male (I think), white tufted Roman and a female (I think), American Buff. They were born last March (ish) 2010. Is anybody looking to add to their flock? They were raised around chickens and dogs and love people. Jennifer

    she won't use one of her legs? Eggbound??

    But I felt around and I don't see anything, no swelling, do they usually heal, or once they get hurt somehow, is it the end of the road? She won't come out of the coop, but she did lay an egg yesterday. I feel so bad, I just don't know what to do. Anybody, advice? They don't limp if they are...

    I think he is trying to mate me?

    I think this goose has lost his little mind, I took him swimming as usual but I couldn't keep him off of me... the day before that, I was pulling weeds and he ended up on my head!~ I would have loved to have seen that from an outsiders view. But, the good thing is that I can pet him a whole...

    I think he is trying to mate me?

    He only does this when is am low to the ground, but when I'm picking weeds or squatting down for some reason, my 6 mo old, I think gander, will get very close, kind of frantically rubbing his head and neck all over me, nipping softly everywhere. He tries to 'climb' me. At this time only, he...

    Can I add guineas to an established flock?

    I have 8 pullets, one goose and one gander - all are around 6 mos, can I add guineas? Should I get older ones so they can all share the same food? and so they can defend themselves better? Can they all share the same food? I give the geese and chicks 16% chicken pellets. How should I...

    Are Geese good guard animals for chickens?

    Our geese are good guard animals, but they were raised w/ the chickens. They are still young, only about 6 mos. so I've heard that they can get meaner as they get older. They do nip at everybody and everything, except my DH and me... j

    Where Will They Lay....

    they will lay everywhere, esp. if you don't have a box w/ hay or soft material and a golf ball or something resembling an egg. Start them out w/ good habits and it'll stay that way. jenn

    Strangely shaped egg

    What does it mean when an egg is shaped funny? I usually get about 8 eggs a day, and about 4-5 days ago, I started getting only 7, so I think one of them has been hiding her eggs. But I can not find them anywhere, so then I was wondering if she was bound. They all act fine, but this am I got...
