My question is...Should I put mom and dad (Chinese geese) in goose coop along with their two 2 1/2 week old goslings in bad weather during the day? They will have access to feed and water. How about just mom and babies? The goslings have been outside with their parents since they were 5 days...
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS SEEN THEIR GANDER SEEMINGLY TRYING TO MATE WITH A WATER HYDRANT? [or some other thing other than another goose] Since his mate has been sitting for the past month, my Gideon has decided to relieve himself by rubbing against the water hydrant next to his pool...
My Abigail has been sitting on her nest of eggs since July 19. Two hatched on 8/18 and I brought them inside. They are doing great! Today has been the 34th day and no more eggs have hatched yet she still sits there...patiently waiting . I want to return the 2 goslings to her before it's too...
The first being over 10 days old. My question is...are the eggs still hatch-able? She is NOW Brooding and laying consistently on them! Thank you so much to anyone who will help me out. This is what I did. When she laid her first egg, I covered it with cool dirt. It's been in the high 80s here...
Can someone tell me if chickens will eat a goose egg left in an exposed nest? I can't find a trace of anything. Not even a piece of shell! Either the chickens ate it shell and all or she moved it! I haven't a clue!!!!

If anyone can advise me...I have 3 rabbits that possibly gave birth same time last night...I found 3 dead and don't know who they belonged to. The smallest of the 3 has always been an outsider and did'nt get along with the other 2. The 2 were together in the same nest with a few live young...
I have a pair of 6 month old Chinese....is it POSSIBLE for them to be mature enough for mating and therefore the eggs be fertile?
I've watched them many times...they climb all over each other until Gideon gets it right. It sure looks like he's connecting. After-wards...
Hello everyone,
I'm really concerned about my Gideon. This AM when I went out to check on the pair, I noticed he was breathing differently, a little wheezing. I thought maybe he needed a drink so I encouraged him to do so. But the sound was still there. It's been really, really cold here in...
I have a pair of Chinese geese 5 months old . Yesterday, I noticed Gideon's, [the male] bill was cracked with a chip missing. I'm sick to my stomach worrying over him. Can anyone tell me, will it grow back? It doesn't seem to be bothering him, but he's not eating as much grass as before. We...
