I have six Emden geese that are getting a bit too loud and I need to cut the flock to 3 or 4 but I don't know how to properly sex them. I tried listening to their honks to try and sex them that way but I can barely tell. Are there any other ways to sex them without messing with their cloacas...
I used to have a bad green algae problem but I wouldn't stress over it after doing some research. When doing research on how to raise waterfowl it was stressed how important niacin was for development of the chicks. Then I started thinking about where waterfowl usually live in the wild where...

I currently have 5 ducks and a chicken but the ducks will stay where they are right now to be separated from the muscovies so I have a little experience under my belt. I might just have to forget about turkeys and learn as I go as you said. Thanks for the help!
