    Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

    Yes you do get males, all birds are sold as straight run only.. However I normally get only 25-40% males which is better then my hatching out my own eggs percentage lol

    Newly hatched gosling not thriving

    So last week I had 12 goslings hatch from a nest 3 eggs didn't hatch so I put them under a dif mom. Yesterday found a late bloomer. Since I have 4 momma geese there is a good chance it was just a late egg snuck into the wrong nest. So pulled the Lil guy/gal and put it the brooder with some young...

    Bad Experience w/IDEAL Poultry Hatchery: Normal Occurrence?

    I have mixed feelings on ideal. My last order from them being a perfect example. I ordered 30 duccle chicks on special for 1.15 each a great deal I couldn't pass up. And 20 ducks at 2.00. 7 ducks and 17 duccle chicks were DOA. Called ideal asap they reshiped the very next week. All replacement...

    Rhode Island reds, production reds or sexlinks?

    Would actually be nice if they are sex links because I have a equal amount of dark red chicks and light chicks and maybe they won't all be boys lol, oh well if they are at least I can raise them for dinner lol

    Where to buy

    June is a nice time to brood because of the warmer weather they don't need to be in the brooder as long and can be moved outside that much sooner. And they can be very messy and very stinky fast but I consider it worth it :)

    Geese vs Turkey

    I have both turkeys and geese. I didn't socialize my geese a lot as babies and they aren't cuddly but they aren't aggressive either. Even my gander for the most part talks a bunch a crap but won't attack me. My turkeys on the other hand are amazingly social and have made me re evaluate just how...

    Geese Breed Focus - Sebastopol

    I just recently got into sebastapols. I got my first pair from metzer last year. Unfortunately I lost my male. I wish I has spent more time socializing my geese babies last year as they aren't love bugs but still very calm and have been quiet for geese. When I lost my male my husband let me...

    Embden geese from Metzer Hatchery?

    I have a pair from metzer and I they are nice birds, the goose is broody and laid large eggs. Mine were white with blue eyes. I will say that size is kinda all over the place as two of friends got some last yr with me and while some are truly large some were just med sized.

    What will a white gander with lavender geese give me?

    I recently acquired two lavender Sebastopol geese and will be getting a white male to breed to them .. I think I will get blue babies but wasn't quite sure and was hoping for some clarification. Though honestly I'll be happy with any color just curious

    Dumb question

    I'm surprised you can't find a free rooster for a short bit on Craigslist and then just relist him for free once you have had him in quarantine and then with your hens for a month or so. And I'd incubate over hoping one goes broody... But if you get one to go broody you might get her to adopt...

    My new loves, pair of lavender sebastapol girls

    Oddly enough they were listed on Craigslist for $20 each. Lady I spoke to was getting rid of most her farm animals. I asked my husband if he could pick them up for me on his way home from work and he asked me if they were something I wanted .. My reply was "yes... Hell yes, ... Pretty pls". And...

    Can I put day old chicks under a new mother who already has chicks?

    What I've found is that some hens will take any chick, some will take only their own, and others reject everything lol. It really comes down to the personality of the hen! I've seen non broody silkies get over the top excited to see chicks, adopt them and just be like oh babies those must be...
