    My girls have abducted me!🤪

    I have a question for all of you awesome poultry caretakers. I'm in poultry prison. My girls, geese, and bunnies forbid me to leave the house🥺. I would love to travel, but because I have no one to care for my birds, I can't go anywhere. If you travel, what arrangements do you make for the...

    Crunch, crunch

    Does anybody have an issue with your girls picking and poking at Styrofoam, Styrofoam plates, packaging pop corn. My girls and geese love poking on it. I promptly remove it, but I don't know if they are eating it. Same with plastic trash bags. My geese try eating pieces. This is a curious...

    Egg bound posts from the past

    I read many of your past concerns about your hens not pooping, labored breathing, and the vent moving as if she wanted to lay an egg. It happened to my little Soda Pop polish hen last night. I was beyond distressed. I decided to look up what to do when I read many of your posts. I can't and...

    3 questions

    I have a few concerns I need help with. I want to buy 3 Polish hens, but every hatchery will not sell small orders. Is there a place where I can buy a small amount? Could anybody recommend a place where I can buy Golden Polish? I have two 17 year old ducks, (mom and daughter), that my...

    My girl is gone

    So sad today. I lost my little girl, scuttlebutt yesterday. I found her dead in the duck's mini pool. The pool is actually the top of a wreath cover, so it is beyond shallow. She would hang with the ducks and her sister, and that mini pool has been there for years. I'm clueless what killed...

    Bipolar Gander

    I have 2 male and 2 female sobostopol geese. They are mellow except when people pass by. Then they get very aggressive. Unfortunately, the aggression is now aimed at me. I say bipolar because one of my birds can be very gentle with me, then suddenly attack me. He ripped a chunk of skin off...

    Hey ya Toots

    Spring has just about sprung here in Los Angeles. The weather is gorgeous today, I'm a great grandmother of 2 sobes, and my gander is looking at me with romantic intentions. I'm a great grand mother:). I gave a neighbor some sobostopol eggs to hatch, (sobes), and success. They were born on...

    Sorry girls and roos out there!

    3I have been reading numerous articles about poultry housing during cold weather, what to consider, etc. Well, my babies have it made. They all sleep inside the house, and each has a warm comfy bedroom. Sounds stinky and crazy, but they love it. My girls and their 2 ducky friends sleep in...

    Do geese get scared.

    Do geese fear fire works? My sobostapols are city birds and are used to loud motorcycles, sirens, cars honking, etc. When they hear pyrotechnic fireworks, they continue sleeping or taking a swim. They dont react. That might also be because they hear fireworks year round and have adjusted...

    No beak chick

    To the lady who posted a message about her baby chick having no beak, here's some good news. Hopefully you still have the little one. On a program called Dr. K's Animal ER, they featured a section on a lovebird that had no beak. This bird was far worst than yours. After feeding the bird with...

    Baby sobostapols need home!

    I wish I weren't such an emotional wuss. Mama goose and her daughter are sitting on eggs, and I just feel so guilty prying them away from their maternal duties. I have been taking the eggs away when they are off the nest, but their sadness is too much for me. Can anybody recommend where I can...

    Panicked parent!

    Now don't laugh super cold weather states, but So Cal has been having unusually cold and wet weather, (love it!) I just went outside just now and my hen's legs and toes are bright red. I went into panic mode. I have been bringing all of my girls in the house at night, (geese, ducks, hens)...

    My poultry pals are driving me nuts.

    Here i go again with my Looney birds. Do chickens and geese have an infinity for plastic and Styrofoam? I work on large scale holiday displays, so many of my new purchases are packed with Styrofoam. Once my girls and ganders see it, they try to eat it! This morning, I had to football tackle...

    Cough cough goose!

    I will give anyone, any vet, any goose expert a trip to Vegas you can answer this. Ready? My goose, Floogie, has developed a fun habit/reaction. I recently had a never ending cough. I thought it was my imagination, but every time I coughed, Floogie would honk. Honk, cough, honk, cough, etc...
