    GOOSE BREEDING THREAD - for breeding, incubating, hatching and rearing.

    Okay... good thoughts... I don't think they are mating at all- after many months I have never seen it. After separating them i hope I will finally see some mating activity! Fortunately the geese lay year round here, pausing a month or two between sets-so I will get 3-4 chances a year- if I...

    GOOSE BREEDING THREAD - for breeding, incubating, hatching and rearing.

    I have an old bathtub and will set that u as a breeding pool for the second group of geese. I have never seen them mating... and I have heard that geese will not pair well with their mother or with their sisters. I think we have a good strategy for that now though as they come from two...

    Coudy eyes can be chicken cataracts

    I had two young chickens develop cataracts and I feel sure it is secondary to avian encephalomyelitis. Both birds were bred here at the farm and so it could be passed down in the egg or afterwards after hatching. Mortality and other symptoms can be very low- but I did see the trembling in a few...
