Support Group for Abused Duck Keepers
I have more abuse to report. The little girls started alerting that something was very VERY wrong. Estella, Avis, and Rosebud are doing some intense alarming croaks so I’m looking around thinking a fox is about to bear down on my poor duckies and I’m ready to wage war against the forest beasts... -

What did you do in the garden today?
She’s a torti, some can have strong tabby traits and are sometimes referred to as “torbies” but they’re still considered tortoiseshells. -

One of the best cats I ever had was a tortoiseshell, personally I think they’re absolutely beautiful. -
Gosling Price Help
Metzer has them at $45/$36 per gosling. Meyer has them at $75/ $35. Some factors to consider is that #1 hatchery goslings aren’t necessarily show quality. If yours are from show lines they’ll be worth more. #2 Hatchery goslings are more likely to be proven purebreds, backyard bred birds are... -

It's Been More Than 6 Months
You need to take care of yourself to be able to take care of Spaz, he needs you too. Please lay off the cigarettes and vodka. -
It's Been More Than 6 Months
It’s okay to feel that way. You’ve lost a dear little soul and it’s normal to grieve. You did not fail her but I understand why you feel that way, I’ve blamed myself in the same situation, but you need to remember that you didn’t fail her, quite the opposite, you gave her a good home and made... -
It's Been More Than 6 Months
I’m so sorry. My geese and ducks are my life and losing those I’ve lost has been unbearable. I understand your pain and I know there really isn’t much anyone can say to lessen your pain. I will say this though, Molly was nearly 15 years old, she lived an exceptionally long life and if that... -

Support Group for Abused Duck Keepers
I have more abuse to report. A fire broke out not far from my house and the circling planes and helicopters caused panic in the flock, all of the geese were running around the yard terrified and panting, and Beavis and Butt-Head here “Truffle and Sunbeam” decided this was the perfect... -
Goose/duck feeders?
I use big feeder pans set inside a bus bin for the geese. The ducks have typical bowls set in a shorter bus bin. -
Where did my babies go!!!
They’re getting to my favorite age, the gawky goofy adolescent phase. -
Bottom duck bill split (looks like it never fully grew together)
That is a vet situation. It’s either an old injury that didn’t heal correctly or some congenital issue. So what I think a vet could possibly do is create an incision along the edges, then stitch it together so that the gaping hole heals shut. It could even be a two part surgery if the skin...- Goosebaby

Possibly too young
She’s cute! You can also tell what class she falls into by weight. 10 or under to 11 pounds is small, 12 to 15 pounds is medium. 15 to 22 pounds is large. Regardless it may just be her genetics. -
Possibly too young
Those range from small, medium, to large depending on the type and lines. My guess is she leans towards her Chinese genes which do lay early. -
Possibly too young
What breed is she? I doubt the eggs are fertile of the gander is only two months old. Her behavior isn’t unusual if she’s a small breed, it’s surprising that she’s fertile at such a young age but not unheard of if she’s a small breed. Medium breeds only begin laying after a year. Large breeds... -
Any advice for using Elector PSP on 10 wk 0ld geese
Can you post pictures of the spot in question? I don’t have any advice on that stuff but sometimes goslings chew on each other so that may be a possible source of missing feathers.
