    Toulouse geese started laying again.

    Hi, I have 8 Toulouse geese that layed eggs this past spring. 3 went Broody with no luck and everyone had stopped laying by mid May. My understanding was that geese only lay eggs once per year in the spring, about 20-35 eggs. I now have 5 Goose Eggs from 2 or 3 girls in my incubator and I...

    Duckling Bloated Belly, not growing

    My 8 Khaki Campbel ducks are 4weeks old. The largest are just starting to get feathers and are a large handful to pick up. I'm worried about the smallest duckling, he's about a 1/4 size of the others. He eats and drinks and swims. Not extra noisy, doesn't isolate himself in the corner or...
