I’m located in Autryville, NC. I’m looking for goslings but won’t pass on adults. They will be pets. I’m looking for a pair, maybe a trio depending on age. I’m open to other breeds of geese as well. Just let me know what ya got lol

This looks exactly like the rooster I was just given. I'm not familiar with GF colors.

I've just heard GF roosters can do the job of 2-3 roosters. That they are more maternal and good at predator protection. Out of the dozens of roosters I've raised, bought or rescued, only a handful (Ameraucana, RIW, Cochin) were good roosters in terms of protecting hens, being gentlemanly, and...

From what I know of game cocks, that my would be my answer too. I'm not looking to mix roosters as he would be the only one roaming but had concern he might try to fight other roosters through fencing.

For years I've usually had a menagerie of roosters (3-6) in my yard to protect my flock (some would stick to particular hens and I'd take in homeless roosters, so I usually have enough birds to keep the roosters from fighting) but I recently took in a Game cock while searching for a new rooster...

I know I've seen the answer to this somewhere but can't find it on here. What is the percentage of chicks that will be laced/partially laced from a Silver laced rooster to a blue hen? I'm not worried about the color of the lacing, only they are laced. I'm having a problem finding SL Cochin hens...

Sounds like a good plan and were still considering it. Just sounds like so much work but he's basically the only project bird we have. He's a great rooster but we still might find him a home. The blue barring is not common in our area and so we figured he would be something cool to work with...

Thanks for taking the time to break it down for me. I wasn't sure how well he would do. He was an oddball bird in a bunch of chicks we hatched and kept him because of his coloring thinking the only thing to breed out would be the tail and I was wrong. I do want a project but not that much of...

Thank you for the advice. I really considered finding him a new home but I waited it out and he's fine now. I believe it was because of how chunky he was and after I got him he slimmed down a bit. His legs seemed to have corrected themselves and he has no problem running or jumping around.

I know this is an old post but I was curious about my birds coloring. We bought him not knowing he was fully Cochin and his "barring" is odd. It's not exactly complete all over his body and he's starting to get a yellow/gold leakage over the barred. He also has the wrong tail. What color hens...

I was actually looking for the answer to this. A couple days ago when I picked up one of my barred Muscovies, she started making a low honking noise. Almost like a quack but not quite. I thought this particular barred was a male but all the males only hiss. So I'm assuming only females make this...

So the white did go away on my Marans. Both of the Blues and blacks had it. I was worried there for a while. Glad to know the problem fixed itself.

What if the back legs are splayed but they can get around fine? Is this something that will get worse over time? Last month I got a baby Holland who seemed to have splayed back legs and he gets around fine. I thought maybe it was because he's a fat little thing. His legs are more outward then...

Well all 3 of the Pekin turned out to be males as well as the Magpie duck. I ended up selling them to a guy who wanted some ducks to roam his pond. The "dark duck" ended up being a darker chocolate Muscovy which I think is a girl but I'm not sure. Right now I'm trying to decide if I want to...

I've heard of ducks laying as early as 13 weeks and was wondering if it depends on the time they were born/season they mature at when they will lay. I have a pair of Appleyards whom are between 19-22 weeks old and the male's green head feathering is just starting to come in. I also have 2...

Here's pictures of the Muscovies. I'm hoping all 3 are girls but one of them has a pretty long body. Also one of the Appleyards has a darker head that looks greenish now and is a lot quieter then the other one.

Do thier heads ever get greenish before they molt the second time? Just curious because the black/white duck has a greenish tint to its head but not sure if it's just because his/her head is black. I believe that ones a boy but could be wrong. I just took some pictures of both ducks. The little...

Thank you, I'll look it up. I didn't know the males got the greenish heads later, I thought they got it as thier feathers starting coming in. Goes to show how much I know lol I have an okay picture of that duck but will have to take more.

Alright I need to see how old they are. I was told they go through a second molt but wasn't sure exactly when that happened. Honestly right now the only one whose for sure quaking is one of the Appleyards. She's really loud, while everyone else is still peeping. I'll just have to watch them to...

I found 2 women in the Smithfield area who sell D'Uccle's. I bought a rooster from both of them (Porcelian and golden neck) Message me if interested in getting in touch with them.
