WOW.....searching goose genetics this evening and came across this post and um, I AM Bobbie, NadaLottaRanch is our place and while I was born at CHOC in OC, Cali.....and raised in Yorba Linda....I've lived in TX since November of 2001. Do I know you breland85 from the CPG group?

Been a while but I'm back with oddball questions lol! Who is the "goose genetic expert" on BYC? I'm wondering - just from looking through pics - do all geese have white booties/under carriages? I have yet to stumble across pics of anything other than either solid white, or colored top...

Awesome thank you!!!!! I've been outside ALL DAY cleaning pens and prepping for one last round of baby goats to be born and you know....I let my farmhand unpack the ducklings and she mentioned ONE was different and I figured ooops or packing type peanut or whatever right? But when I came in I...

Hey ya'll - I ordered my appleyard ducklings and they arrived today healthy as can be but I am confused... I have 9 that are yellow with the white mohawk and ONE dark black looking fellow.... WHAT ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE???? I KNOW there is a white mutation in the appleyards and I...

Okay thank you! I'll be hitting Radio Shack Monday then lol - don't wanta go stripping wires for no reason :P

I know...it's been asked a MILLION times before - but I need help lol I have an LG incubator someone gave me as a "thank you" - brand new but absolute base model right? I want to add a fan....I have a little pc fan I bought to make my own 'bator and never did. It states on the packaging...

AWESOME SAUCE! That makes me feel better tremendously!!! I'm really excited about these itty bitty little eggs lol...can you tell ???? I've waited SO long to try my hand at quail and I just can't wait to see how things develop...I bet I get hooked though...I REALLY enjoy my birds :D

Thank you - thats pretty much what I do anyways. I tend to go a little heavy on the bleach and the sun helps kill it lol.... One other thing - the ONLY birds we let free range totally are the guineas - they own this place! But, we also don't have any snake issues (for a farm in East Texas in...

I've always wanted to have a go at raising quail - see if I like them as much as my other birds, if I want to stick with it, ya know - a test run before a bigger commitment. I've done SOME research - but you can't always trust Dr Google....so can ya'll help clarify a bit??? Quail should be...

Oh yes - with a post office like ours (they steal live birds right out of boxes!) there's so much that can go wrong.....but at least people are having some luck with it. Makes things a little less scary - "Mr Bob" really did tell me that NONE would hatch blah blah blah.....gave me a good...

Thank you :) I was REALLY hoping to hear they were like about everything else....but then good ol' "Mr Bob" set my mind to worrying lol.....

I'm sure it's been posted a million times but I find I have a hard time since the forum style changed searching for stuff (I don't adjust well lol) Anyways... I was talking with a fellow a few years back that raised turkeys locally and he SWORE up and down he didn't sell hatching eggs because...

Just found this thread AND I just was GIVEN one of these incubators today!!! Woohoo! Is anyone still "listening"? Could I please oh please get a copy of e instructions? My email is: eggsforihop AT gmail DOT com ......I'll send you a bar of my goat milk soap I make if you send me the...

We're looking at rain all weekend from what I hear and I'm stuck with this 20% stuff which left a duck with angel wing a few years back :P Probably go out and clip some grass then - just REALLY not looking forward to "harvesting goose food" in the rain :/

Hey guys - it's been a CRAZY month! First it froze while I had eggs in a nest no one was setting on yet so I panicked and pulled them before it got too cold that day (dropped to 27* that night actually) THEN...I decided to incubate them and all was going well until this last Friday when the...

Hi all :) It's been a while lol - I hate to say it, but I haven't been online much the last year :P Anyways.... I'm on the hunt for Silver Appleyards and would prefer to find some local to me (or as much as possible). Does ANYONE here know if there is anyone raising/breeding quality birds...

RURU - that's what I thought/had heard (that extreme temp swings can cause issues). Thankfully, I brought the eggs in before the temps dropped, so they never spent any time outside when it was so bitter cold. I MIGHT have left them under the geese IF they had been broody....but they weren't...

Hey guys I know I don't get to come on here NEARLY enough unless I am lurking and reading...but I'm having a panic attack! We've had Cotton Patch Geese since last summer and FINALLY they started laying last week! When the weather was nice....and warm.....but it dropped SO SO COLD last night...

Thank you, but he has passed - pretty sure it was a scorpion - walked their goose yard very well several times today and found one out there lurking. I'm gonna bet it had a part in this - killed it with a shovel, but it doesn't fix things. Now I have one lonely female and need to decide what to...
