That's very possible. Has anyone tried successfully feeding sprouts to ducks and geese?

I have tried many times to grow fodder with barley seeds. But my geese show no interest in eating them. They love watermelon rine and vegetables but wouldn't eat barley sprouts. They may look at it and peck it a little and then shake their beaks. The ducks did the same when I had them. Anyone...

Does domestic ducks have a "mating season"? Actually, the question is "do they ever stop?" With the summer here, all our female ducks are busy being mothers with their broods. But the drakes couldn't stop being sexually active, more like overactive. The two drakes each has their own "wives" to...

We have two geese that came from the same parents. They are brother and sister. Now they are paired up and the female is laying. If she starts to sit on the eggs, would the goslings be sterile? I seem to recall seeing a discussion about this on this forum, but I couldn't find it. The siblings...

Thanks for the recommendation. I looked at this feeder. Does the feed just drop down from the hopper and you put a container below to catch it? The ducks will eat out of the container?

I like the "mini vacation" idea. When we lived in town, I would have loved the opportunity to try out and enjoy the life of living in the country for a few days. Perhaps we can even offer our house on Airbnb with a discounted rate and the visitors would help taking care of the animals...

Here are some pics. I put a bunch of videos of the process on our FB page: http://facebook.com/puppytrek. interested, but not sure by brae09 posted Jun 1, 2019 at 11:34 PM pretty nervous by brae09 posted Jun 1, 2019 at 11:34 PM Who are you? by brae09 posted Jun 1, 2019 at 11:34 PM Am I really...

It took about a week or two but Father Goose and the goslings have formed a pack. At first, Father Goose was very nervous, interested but very nervous. He would check them out from the distance and never wanted to get too close. We tried to pen them together but that just got Father Goose even...

Glad to hear we are not alone with this issue. Maybe someday a farmhand robot will be available. How hard can it be to build a robot that dishes out feed three times a day, changes the water, and close the birds in at night? We've got cars that drive themselves. It might be easier than hiring a...

Ducks and geese are a lot of fun. We take good care of them. It is gratifying to see them happy. But we found ourselves pretty much homebound. It is hard to leave for a few days for a camping trip. Typical daily chores: letting them out in the morning, feeding, changing water, and closing them...

Putting the gander in a brooder is a great idea! I always hear people talk about ganders being aggressive. I never knew they could also be such tender-hearted creatures.

About three weeks ago, we lost our beautiful Chinese Swan goose to a predator. It was a heart-breaking day. Her mate, a Toulouse gander, was at a loss for a week, but now hangs with our ducks, acting as their faithful guard. (He did the same before the Chinese goose came along.) The goose left...
