    Advice for getting more geese

    Hello! I am considering buying some geese as a present to my friends. They used to have 4 Embden geese (I think they were Embden), but unfortunately 3 were killed. The one left, a male, is a loner and sometimes hangs out with the ducks. We've been planning to get him a "bride" for a few months...

    How to Encourage Silkies to Eat Fruit/Vegetable Scraps

    Today, I was dismayed to find that I raised my two silkie hens to be wimps - they were afraid of a watermelon. After the watermelon was basically eaten, I tried giving the rind (it had an inch or two of red left) to my silkies, knowing that chickens love watermelon. However, they were very...

    What kind of quail is this?

    I hatched this quail last January out of Coturnix parents. She may possibly be half Pharaoh but probably not. I was surprised that she did not look like a coturnix. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
