I love the picture. It looks like they posed! Geese are such hams. :P I am overjoyed to announce that both of our missing cats turned up safe and sound!! :D I can't believe it!! They both promptly started causing trouble again. [ IMG...

] That's kind of scary.

Aaawww!:D

Thank you

c I love pantaloons! Your guy is quieter than mine; sometimes we can hear his screeches echoing all the way across the valley! I wonder what the people on the other side think??

I am a Christian, but I've been too sick to attend church for almost two years. Our churches have been very unsupportive. Being so sick for so long is really messing me up. Plus the side effects of the immune-suppressant drugs are gnarly. I miss my geese. :(

Thank you guys so much! Sorry I haven't replied sooner; my iPad is ancient and hates this site. :/ Dee duck sounds like my girl, Helena. She went broody this spring and heavens to Betsy, was she ever vicious! She's officially earned herself the title of Scariest Animal on the Farmlet-- and...

She's barred Rock. She's not really aggressive, but if anyone challenges her, she explodes!

Today I felt good enough to sit outside for ten minutes or so with my birds. :) I took the opportunity of taking some more up-to-date photos. Matilda is much harder to photograph; she is exceedingly suspicious and won't come near the iPad!

Yup, he sure does. He also likes to prank the birds: he hides in the bushes, and when a chicken/duck/goose comes by, he sprints out and smacks it on the bottom! He usually gets bitten if he goes for a goose. Kinda deserves it, darn cat. :rolleyes:

My lead hen beats the tar out of every rooster I offer, regardless of his age. She's about a year old. That being said, I screen my Roos pretty carefully before buying/adopting, so none of them have been overbearingly aggressive.

My Leghorn hen had something similar. We never found out what it was, but we sprayed Blu-Kote on it a few times and it went away. I should have taken a picture.

Lol, yeah. I got four ducklings for my birthday April 2015, and now we have 8 ducks, two geese, and 7 chickens! Plus the six goats, nine cats and one dog we already had.... It's pretty chaotic around here.

I hate hate HATE hawks! I've had them come crashing through the trees/bushes surrounding our yard, trying to get to my birds. That being said, they won't come near us humans, so spending lots of time outside seems to help. I would go ahead and try penning them while you're gone; it's the...

That's awesome! My geese scream at my mating ducks too; I thought they were just pervs!:P

In that case, I'd just go with your instinct. You know her best; if she seems healthy, she's probably fine. :) ETA: My American female is quite a bit heavier than him, and she's fine. Just built like a tank, lol!

This is my first time playing this game, so here goes nothing! What is this chicken thinking?

She looks a bit overweight to me, but I'm no expert. Do you have a vet experienced with poultry?

Hello, all. I have been extremely ill with an auto-immune flare all year-- way too sick to go outside. I am really missing my geese right now, so I thought, why not start a thread especially for goose stories? So let's tell stories! Funny, sad, bizarre, rescue stories, anything goes! And...

Pictures? My Toulouse gander is a silly, skinny little thing. He's about 1 1/2 years old.
