Tips for barn conversion
So I’ve told you guys about the barn I want to turn into a goose house, what do I need to do to make that happen? Is there anything I can do to make clean up/feeding/watering easy? There is a hose pump next to the barn! I’m thinking of making an in-ground pool for them as well, but I’m not sure... -
Guess who's back!
Ohhhhhh how I missed this forum. As soon as I logged back on I felt a warm feeling in my stomach and the excitement I felt when I first joined! I'm too embarrassed to look back at any of my old posts, I was young and in high school and cared more about owning geese than actually being able to... -
Moving from one acre to five!
We just put in an offer for the most perfect property! It's only three miles from my house now, and it's 4.8 acres! The house isn't much and there is no fence yet, but once it is all fenced in the possibilities are endless! I cannot wait to dig up a pond and build a nice secure goose house! And... -
So upset with Tractor Supply
I went into tractor supply today to look at their baby chicks for fun, and I noticed one was in the corner being trampled because it couldn't stand. I told an employee and he picked it up in a bag. I knew he was going to suffocate it so I offered to take him home (it looked like his legs were... -
Renovating the garage for the geese, need ideas to keep them off the wall
In the next month or so we are renovating the entire house, and since our garage won't fit our giant SUV and truck, we are going to turn into a night time house for the geese. The plan is to turn the floor into a fake grass situation where you can hose off the poop into the yard, or scoop it... -

Vultures again
I came home today, my blind goose was dead with all the skin ripped off her head and neck, and my big gray Pom male had three patches of skin missing. I didn't want to have to kill the vultures, but it's time. He has a vet appointment in the morning, wrapped it up until then. -

The terrible two hanging out by their pool. A few from the Nasty Nine hogging the water bucket. The Nasty Nine and Fiesty Five come together to form the Fabulous Fourteen My biggest male at four weeks old, an American Buff. One of the Fiesty Five sitting in my lap looking down at the... -
What is going on?!
I walked outside this morning and my entire yard was INFESTED with vultures. We get a few here and there but I sat out there and counted 42 of those ugly things. I sent Moose out to scare them away, and when they left I found Berry, my oldest Pomeranian, dead on the ground. None of the vultures... -
Everyone knows Pear Jr...
Pear Jr has become very accustomed to living with me! He sleeps in an XL dog crate that's covered up at night. Every morning I carry him downstairs and he gets a salad bowl with grit mixed in, when he finishes, he goes with me in the car to Starbucks! He has a blue basket that he sits in and... -

Drunk/wobbly goose advice
First things first, if you have a goose that is drunk/wobbly, can't walk, waving its head around, holding its head tight up against its neck, drooping its head, do all that you can to get it to a vet. Vets ALWAYS know best, and even though you may "fix" the problem, a vet can tell you exactly... -

Will his feathers grow right?
Pear rubbed off a patch of down on his neck with his crate by sticking his head through the bars. Will his feathers grow normally there? Will the down ever grow back? -
You guys have probably watched him before but...
Could you do him a favor? Or me a favor? I've been watching this channel since the chicken days four years ago, I've seen every single video. If you guys all watched it and shared each video on facebook or ANYTHING, it would help SO MUCH. This man raises his own ducks and geese, mainly for food... -
Rare/Expensive goose breeds?
Are there any goose breeds that are rare or expensive like the Ayam Cemani chicken breed? I'm trying to plan my future flock for when we move onto the 5 acres ahead of time. These are the breeds I will/hopefully have so far: Production Toulouse American Buff American Blue American Lavender...
