    Goose mum to be

    I am looking to get a couple of geese, 1 goose and 1 gander to start with, I have been looking through this forum, but if you all could answer some questions for me it would be really good. Can geese live happily with chickens. If they free range during the day, are they easy to get back to...

    Banana Chicks!!!

    My chicks are about 9 weeks old now and they share a pen with goats. The goats like banana leaves, but don't get very much, because the chicks just go wild and tear them to pieces. I have not seen them get so enthusiastic about anything other than worms.
