I have a goose that was many years old when I got it, but I do not know how old exactly. Is there any way to tell the age of an adult goose? Thank you.
This is a thread about all duck breeds, meant to make a big listing of as many as possible. It was inspired by the thread: "Tula, Emporda, Normandy and other unusual breeds " in the goose section. Check it out here...
Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere on BYC, but I looked and do not see it. I think it is important and deserves mentioning.

Is this the place to put this? Just wanted to say it took me many times to log in properly. It took me to a mostly blank page and told me to refresh, I refreshed multiple times but nothing ever happened. Having a hard time posting this too, it keeps re-loading randomly. Never had this problem...
I know there's a lot of dog people on this forum, so I thought I would make this thread- something similar has probably been done before.
This is a thread to discuss breeds of dogs how they were a long time ago vs how they are now, and also the differences (appearance, health, temperament...
Someone told me I should plant mint where my geese are so that it gets rid of the mud and repels rodents, but what if my geese eat it? I know its okay for chickens, but what about geese- or ducks? Will it harm them to eat it?
So the other day I made a thread for sharing home-mixed/homemade poultry feed recipes. I put up a few recipes for chicken feed but have not had much luck finding feed for other birds.
What does everyone think of this recipe? I found it on a blog. It's the only duck feed recipe I found online...
Just wondering if anyone raises these. Compared to other ornamentals, are they easy or hard to take care of? Do they have disease issues? What do you like and dislike about them?
A poached egg is basically a boiled egg but you cook it without the shell on. It tastes the same and you don't have to peel it. I am wondering why hardly anyone seems to do this? Is it because the eggs don't stay perfectly round? Have people just never heard of it?
Curiously waiting your...
This is a thread where we can share our homemade chicken feed recipes. Many people would like to mix their own feed. This is intended to be one big thread where we post recipes. It is mostly for chickens but if you want, you can share recipes for other poultry like ducks or quail.
Please post...
Title says it all... what breed(s) has the curly feathers on its back? I saw some at a poultry show years ago and don't know what the name of it was. The feathers on the rest of its body were normal.
This goose's bill looks strangely shaped to me. It's not mine, but here's a picture...
Does it look strange to anyone else? It looks curved or small... I don't know, maybe not.
I was reading about a fowl from Central America that lays mostly pink or lilac-shelled eggs, but don't remember what kind it was. Also it seems sometimes Easter Eggers will lay these eggs, rarely. Are there any known breeds or strains which usually lay eggs of this color? (I will try and find...
I know this depends on area, but my state's laws are very poorly worded. Officially, no one in my state is allowed to own "canidae or felidae". Yup no dogs or cats! Also I've heard turtles and snakes are banned but almost every pet store sells them, so...?
I know you need permits for species...
A lot of people like muscovies but don't like their large size. So I was wondering, why aren't there miniature muscovies? It seems like breeding down their size would be a fairly easy breeding project. I'm actually surprised no one has done it yet. What do you think? Would you be interested in...
Is there any particular reason the reviews of ducks, geese, etc. are grouped with reviews on feeders and egg trays and not with other poultry? It doesn't make much sense to me. I would think that people click on Breeds and assume we only have reviews on chickens, since that's all they see and...
This thread is intended to be a discussion of three breeds whose histories have historically been very muddled. The purpose of this thread is to compare and contrast the three breeds. Pictures are appreciated, but for the most part I want this to be discussion. This first post will be relatively...
