    Will geese help protect ducks from foxes and other preadators?

    I put him in with the ducks tonight. He wasn't really thrilled about being locked up, but he'll adjust. It would be a shame to let him get eaten by the mean old fox! He is safe now. I will let him out in the morning, and hopefully he will learn like my ducks to automatically go in at night...

    Will geese help protect ducks from foxes and other preadators?

    I really hope the goose stays! I am already quite attached to him! My ducks seem to get along fine with him, and I can herd him into their house, but he franticly runs into the wire fence. I don't really want him to get eaten by the fox either, so I would like to pen him with the ducks, but I...

    Will geese help protect ducks from foxes and other preadators?

    Thanks for the responses. I will still keep a close eye on my duckies. I can't really use fox deterrent, the ducks free range on 16 acres, so that would be hard to do. Will the goose do ok with the ducks if he sticks around? My ducks are fairly lightweight, so I don't want the goose drowning my...

    Will geese help protect ducks from foxes and other preadators?

    I have been having problems with a fox eating our ducks. A few days ago a Chinese goose landed on the pond and will not leave. He wont let you pick him up, but he comes up to the house and lets you get pretty close, so he is defiantly used to people. I let my ducks out with him on the pond...

    help! Day 25 lock down and my humidity isn't high enough - what should I do?

    Thanks for the advice. I have them in a incubator that circulates the air. The other two incubators I have been using were still air and the humidity levels were better in them. This is my first experience with one that has a fan. I borrowed it from a friend for lockdown - probably should...

    help! Day 25 lock down and my humidity isn't high enough - what should I do?

    I'm new at this hatching thing. I have forty mag pie duck eggs in the incubator. I switched the eggs today to my lock down incubator and thought that the eggs would raise the humidity to an acceptable level. The humidity is dropping into the 50% - 60% range. I have all bottom reseviors full...

    Bantams beak is falling off after recovering from injury last week - what do I do?

    Thanks for the ideas. The top layer of his beak did fall off, but only the top layer. He now has a chicken under bite - what is left is in the shape of his original beak just smaller and very brown looking. I'm assuming what is left will stay there - lets hope. He is able to eat just fine...

    Bantams beak is falling off after recovering from injury last week - what do I do?

    I posted a picture of his beak as my avatar. I can't post pictures yet because I don't have ten posts. I'm not sure you can really tell what is going on from the picture. It appears that his beak is separating from a bottom layer of beak - if there is a bottom layer. If not I think he will...

    Bantams beak is falling off after recovering from injury last week - what do I do?

    My little rooster's top beak appears to be detaching. He had a very severe injury last week. My son accidentally stepped on his head and half of his crest was ripped from his head. I at first had no hope for him to survive, but an hour and a half after his injury he was still alive. I called...
