Good Morning! I just placed an order for a pair of Pilgrims with Metzers. We already raise chickens and have a medium sized coop and fenced chicken run. We have raised ducks in the past.
My question is can you tell me about your experience starting Goslings for the first time? Tips and...
Hi All,
I am planning on purchasing a pair of American Buffs or Pilgrims. What breed is better for raising as pets with a family with kids? I am having a hard time finding a hatchery/breeder that will sell only 2 geese without a huge small order fee. We are in PA.
Hello Everyone,

I have a 1/2 acre lot in town with a 6' fence around it. My wife and I would love to have a few ducks but I am concerned about noise and whether they will fly over the fence into the street next to my house. In addition I have a long section of fence along the public side walk so many people...
