HI, Have you found a pair of geese yet? I am in New Jersey, near Rt 78 and Rt 31 intersection. I do not know how far that is from you. I have a pair of Toulouse grey geese. I have offered them to my daughter. If she does not take them I plan on selling them.
Just did a quick look-up and I understand from the pictures and the text why you would go with Toulouse Production. My female is a little slender though and she can fly around the farm yard and over the fences. She doesn't go high or far but can fly the length of an acre without difficulty...
Update on my female goose. She was sitting, emphasis on "was". A newbee "helper" at the farm was very excited yesterday that he found a goose nest and was going to have an omelet. Which led to a demonstration/lesson in candling eggs and seeing the difference between goose eggs that are dark...
I don't know. I think they are well old enough to show a knob if there was one going to develop. I don't see any knobbiness about them. I took a good look at them today after looking at a lot of pictures online and reading up on the greylags and it looks like a good fit. From what I read there...
I have two geese that were gifted to me last year. I am clueless as to breed and gender. They are the same age as one another. The pictures here are from last summer. Now the lighter colored of the two is much larger than the darker one. I have not seen evidence of egg laying, but I have of...
Memphis says she is selling to a baker for $3 an egg, that they are going for way more than chicken or duck eggs, and that turkey eggs are going for $3 to $5 each. She considered herself lucky that she located a baker that knew the value. I have a chicken egg customer who is eager for turkey...
Hi,
Anyone have an idea of how much turkey eggs for consumption are being sold for in Central NJ?? My girls just started laying and one of my chicken egg customers is interested in any turkey eggs I am willing to sell. I want the girls to sit and hatch them naturally, but I am not set up for...
OMG! They are adorable! They look like something out of Dr. Zeus. Showgirls is a perfect name of them. I love the poofy heads above the naked necks. Too sweet.
I am probably speaking of naked necks, yes. The beauty is always in the eyes of the beholder. Chickens have such personalities and affection in them, that once you look into their sweet faces your heart is lost and plumage styles are insignificant. Pretty certain if I spent time with naked...
Yes, thanks. He is one of two that look like that. Their feet are feathered. I am thinking they are EE roos, does that sound right? They are BEAUTIFUL!! but I am going to be overpopulated in the roo department so some of them will need to go.
Thanks for the red-carpet welcome! No, I have not seen the turkey forum, but I will be looking for it now. I am excited about my cream crested legbars. They are really beautiful, but then, I say that about all chickens. I take that back. There is a breed, I don't remember the name, with a...
Thanks for your insight. I thought about cuckoo maran myself. I know the woman who sold the two in these pictures was doing EE, but she could not figure him out because he looked so different from all the other EE chicks that hatched. He is growing FAST and getting feisty. The other roo in...
Hi, I need help identifying this young roo. Had some trouble getting pictures this morning so I am hoping these are good enough to do the trick. The comb looks buttercup to me, but I am inexperienced. Thanks for any feedback you can offer. In the pics, it is the all-over, even patterned...
Hi,
I am new to the forum but have been using the site for some time. Huge help in educating myself. I have about 30 laying hens, assorted breeds. Right now my RIR are laying, as are a couple of Cuckoo Marans, a pretty Austorlorp and an Easter Egger. I have a small young flock of Cream...
