We ordered 10 mixed embden and toulouse geese from cackle hatchery. They were all great for the first 2 days. Then one started just standing around staring and not eating. The first time you'd see one skipping the food it would be dead within 12 hours or less. And they did that one after another...
Its like hes a full sized bird in with some bantams.... they're all the same age and were purchased from the bin at the same time... hes going to be a beast.
I will call him david banner
I got these guys at tractor supply in the bantam assortment... I know that the silkies in that mix are often a terribly poor depiction of their breed, but even an ugly as sin silkie like this one is hilarious.
But my goodness why is he or she, I've been calling him a him, so big?!
Well I started by ordering 19 ducks from ideal hatchery Couldn't wait for them to get here and got 3 from tractor supply as well...
So 24 ducks.
Then I picked up 6 bantam chicks from a TSC.
Then ordered 15 geese from cackle hatchery. They only sent 10...still waiting on that refund...out of the...
Same damn thing for me. A few years ago I ordered 15 turkeys from cackle... all died within a few weeks which was my first loss in hundreds of chicks... this year I guess I forgot how sad it had been watching those turkeys stand around and starve and I like an idiot ordered 15 geese from...
I had a very hard time finding a hatchery that had any geese available for shipping before late may or early June. I am too impatient though and ordered 15 toulouse x embden cross geese from cackle hatchery. Today I received 10 of those aforementioned goslings. I am somewhat perturbed about the...

Mine came from cackle hatchery. They all died except 2. So 13/15 dead... then a fox got the 2 that survived. Got 2 royal palms this year got them on the 8th, and to date they are still doing well.
I got 3 buff brahmas.
there are 2 of them. I originally had them lumped in the cochin category.
A SLW
And chubby tubbs our largest chick. we're guessing easter egger
or this one? Light colored legs on this one. This is exceptionally hard to figure out. I feel like a lot of these chicks are going to be wait and sees.
May be a Sumatra but those chicks are super small. I got a lot of chipmunk stripes ones that I thought were bantam because they are about half the size of all the others. But I could be wrong about him being a bantam. But I think he is.
