    Showing off "desserts" huh... :lau Most people don't cook like that anymore. I don't even do that working several jobs outside of the home. By the time I get home I get my duck/geese chores done and am ready to chill out for the night. It's a shame really. I had the same thoughts even...

    Duck food shelter?

    Hello I live in a 4 season state and was wondering if anyone has built a small lean-to or hut just to keep their food dry? I don't put food/water in their actual big hut this is for when they are outside roaming during the day. Their food bowls get full of water with rain and snow covered in...

We plan to go to the farmers market in Wausau and putz around the area. Hopefully it isn't a total wash out. I also...

    I think you should put a camera up and watch him eat all your goodies. :lau There is a woodchuck on tik tok that a person videos now and he sits in front of the camera and eats everything. It is quit comical. But I do enjoy reading your animal trap stories and how they come and go all the time...

    Yeeeeeeeeeeeeahhhh...They have several farms to choose from for the cows to go to. They will be fine. It was a tractor that started on fire that did it. It is sad all and all...but that farm will be fine.

    Lonely gander when goose is on a nest....

    My male has feathers EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His huge wing feather went first and now all the tiny ones are ALL over the yard. Looks like someone blew up a bunch of feather pillows. I was kind of hoping just one would have worked but how that I know what to expect I will let her try...

    Lonely gander when goose is on a nest....

    Hello. Checked the eggs last night. They are no good. I had to take them and destroy her nest. Now I (and everyone else in a mile radius) will be listening to her mourn (loudly honk at everything and everyone) for a while. I know they aren't human but it is still sad to watch it all go down...

    Morning!!! Neighbor came over and checked the 2 goose eggs. She kind of scolded me for not knowing they were bad. Maybe I over looked the stinky egg part and was hoping for little ones to be running around LOL! Oopsie Poopsie :idunno ....She chucked the eggs and I destroyed the nest. The goose...

    Morning. I still have no idea what happened with Little Terrel. The rest of the duck flock seems ok now that the weather has cooled off. They are acting all broody though and my drake is relentless with them. I have been catching them nosing around an ash pile. A couple years ago we cleaned out...

    Happy Monday to Everyone. Had an interesting weekend to say the least. I had a duck that was acting a touch odd the past week. Honestly, I didn't pay much attention as they all go through their moments of hormones, chasing each other, and the heat slows everyone down. She was spending a lot of...

    Hello All! I don't have a garden or a field to plant in but I can tell you the fields surrounding us are doing decent considering the start to the summer being so wet and cold. Corn is only about hip high (and that's being generous) Beans are growing- Ill leave it at that. LOL! I hear the sweet...

    Lonely gander when goose is on a nest....

    I locked my geese up in an insulated kid's playhouse at night. Now they are fenced in with the option to go in their hut. Eddie took it over for a nursery now so...Rusty lays on the front porch of the hut. LOL! Geese seem to be more aware of their surroundings than the ducks. Ducks are kind of...

    Lonely gander when goose is on a nest....

    Day 30 is July 26...so hopefully that last week of July is hatching. Should have enough warm weather to get them big enough for our brutal winters. I am curious how the 7 ducks will handle this. They all share 5 acres to roam- at night ducks go in a hut of their own. Will be interesting if...

    Lonely gander when goose is on a nest....

    Rusty molted his big wing feathers, I almost had a heart attack- it looked like a murder scene when he would walk/fly across the yard in the mornings. Eddie has been laying eggs every other day for a few months and I kept taking them. I went out of town and my fiance was caring for the birds and...

    Lonely gander when goose is on a nest....

    I hope they hatch too. They are a cute couple and I don't want him getting sick or heartbroken with her having this change in behavior. In all honesty, I really miss his mean SOB attitude lately. You get so used to the hissing, biting, charging and loud screaming that when it is gone you...

    Lonely gander when goose is on a nest....

    Morning. I have 2 geese-a pair. I allowed my goose to sit on 2 eggs. It has been 2 weeks. She seems to be doing well, wanders around a couple times a day to eat and stretch her legs and yell at anyone who will listen. My gander Rusty seems very lonely. He sleeps by her at night but you can hear...

    My neighbor has turkeys and they are sooooo neat. If anything would happen to my flock I would totally look into having a pair of turkeys. My neighbor has a group of males and they all "gobble" so loudly together and move like a wave in the yard. They are fun to watch. When I get my incubator...
