    Selling Day-olds in VT - 6 minimum?

    Can anyone tell me whether Vermont really has a law that says one cannot sell less than 6 chicks/ducklings/etc.? I’m considering hatching ducklings to sell as day-olds next spring, and I need to know if this law exists and whether it would apply to me. Or is this a Federal law? Thanks for...

I want ducklings from a good egg-laying strain that also have the potential to be breeding-quality. (My...

    Bumblefoot or possibly gout?

    Hi Everyone! I have a Sebastopol gander named Ivan that is 3 or 4 years old. I just got him three weeks ago, and he seems to have adjusted well to his new home. He's been very healthy, with good droppings, etc. Two days ago, he started limping slightly. At that time, I checked out the bottoms...

    6-year-old goose limping -- getting worse. Advice appreciated.

    Hi everyone! I have a Sebastopol goose that is nearly 6 years old. She's been limping a bit off and on for several months now. It got worse when she sat on a nest in March, but then it got better for a while. Now it's worse than before -- she's basically hobbling. I'm guessing it's some sort...

    ISO White Sebastopol Gander in Southern VT

    I have two female Sebbies who need a new mate. I'd prefer a gander that's not carrying any color genetics, but that's not an absolute. I'd be interested in either a smooth-breasted or curly gander. I'm willing to do a little driving -- the only catch is that I'm looking to purchase an in-state...

    Geese carrying disease? Advice, please.

    Hi everyone! I'm looking for any advice that I can get. I have two female Sebastopols, one 5 yrs. old, one 1 yr. old. Their mate (5 yrs. old), died three months ago from a sudden illness that lasted only 2 days. The younger female showed similar symptoms a couple weeks or so before the gander...

    Can Domestic Geese Carry Avian Influenza?

    Hi Everyone, I am wondering whether anyone can tell me -- can my domestic geese (Sebastopols) recover from AI/carry it without showing symptoms?

    Gander with an infection? Help appreciated!

    Hi everyone! My 5-yr-old Sebastopol gander started acting sick yesterday. All he wanted to do was stand in front of his water bucket and drink. As far as I know, he didn't eat anything yesterday. (He's been pooping only water.) He could walk, but was pretty unsteady. Got into (and out of) the...

    Advice Please: Is This Bumblefoot?

    Hi All! I discovered the other day that my 4 1/2 yr. old gander has funny "callouses" on the bottoms of his longest toes, under the claw. (They sort of bulge forward and make his toe look funny from above.) The claw looks normal; I didn't happen to notice any abnormal heat; he's not limping...

    My Yearling Sebastopol's First Eggs--a couple questions

    So, I've read not to hatch eggs from yearling geese because they're usually smaller than average. But it doesn't make much difference to me if they're a little small. I don't intend to use them for breeding. And when my Sebbie laid her first egg, it made all my resolve to wait till next year for...
