I am moving out of state and need to re-home my wonderful geese. I have a pure Sebastopol splash gander, and 2 Dewlap Toulouse/Sebastopol mix young geese -- I think they are female but they are this Spring's goslings, so haven't laid eggs yet to confirm. I also have a standard Toulouse female...
I have a young Slate (tom, I think) who is eating, drinking and growing, but is very "wobbly" when he walks. His legs will shake and he has a very exaggerated "goose-step" gait. He lays down a lot (he'll walk a few steps and then lay down). He does run for short distances when startled. This...
Vito my Barn-Chicken (she will not live in the coop with the rest of the chickens) goes broody just about every other month so I ignored it when she starting sitting on some eggs recently. But, this time she must have fraternized with the Salmon Favorelle rooster when I wasn't looking, because...

Need some help with my Buff laced Polish -- I was thinking hen, but now not so sure. The feather are awfully spikey. No Crowing yet. Hatched in mid-March. Thanks!
OK, I am not sure what to do-- my Blue Slate Tom is plucking the chicken eggs out of the nest box and eating them, as well as the duck eggs out of their nest. How do I get him to stop? He just started, he is about a year old
Hi, I have several goose eggs in the incubator and one started hatching early yesterday morning -- no other eggs have pipped. There is a hole about the size of a sunflower seed and you can see the gosling moving and breathing. There is a loud occasional chirp. My question is, there has been...
