    Hatching Eggs, I think I might have oops’d!

    So this is my first spring with chickens and ducks. My flock consists of chickens (17 hens and 2 roosters), ducks (12 hens and 8 drakes) and 3 geese (all ganders). With the exception of 2 of my duck mammas, the entire flock is a year old, give or take a few months and up until about a month ago...

    Is this normal??

    Hello all! I got my white Chinese goose (Isolde) from a hatchery as a hatchling in mid-July and then I got three African geese (I was told i was getting 1female and 2 ganders, though I now believe all the African geese are, in fact, ganders) in October, though having hatched in late May, early...

    Limping goose

    So, my goose is limping, I attached 2 links to videos of the goose limping. Is there something I can do at home to help treat this? Or should I try and find a vet?

    Is there any way to sex my geese?

    I have 4 geese, 1 white Chinese and 3 African geese (I believe…). I am pretty sure my white Chinese is a female, and I was told that the 3 African are split, 1 female and 2 males, but I was never told which was which. Is there anyway to tell? Or does anyone want to venture a guess? The link...

    Is this a chicken egg??

    So, I have both chickens and ducks and they are all allowed to free range the property. My chickens have been laying now for a couple months, while my ducks have not yet started (I don’t think they have at least). They each have their own, separate coops and pens, but because they free range...

    How do we help a gosling grieve and continue on after a death?

    I became the proud goose daddy to a pair of goslings in mid-July. I had ordered an unrelated m/f pair with the hopes that they could, eventually be eachothers life-mate. Tragically, after only a month, our little boy gosling, very suddenly, developed a viral infection and within two days we had...

    Do I need to separate my drakes from the girls??

    I have 4 boys and 11 girls. I got them in 3 batches with the youngest being about 2 months old (all girls) and all the boys are all 3-4 months old. The 2 oldest have just started (2 days ago) "surfing" on some of the girls backs. My question is, should I separate the boys from the girls until...

    Update on my flock!

    Ok, so, my four "ladies" have grown up quite a bit and I think the verdict is in on the sex of my quartet! When I first asked for help sexing this group I did so thinking that I had 4 girls, though the consensus was that it more likely was that I had 3 boys and 1 girl (boy was that rough!) Now...

    What breed are my 4 pretty ladies??

    I have had these lovely ladies for going on 7 weeks now, they were a surprise from my partner, but he doesn't know what breed they are. After looking at breed pictures I was thinking they are either Roun, or Mallards, but I am inexperienced and unsure. Any educated guesses as to what breed my...
