    What To Use For A Duck Pond And How To Keep It Clean??????

    I still have the original cement trays I posted about and it's been over 2 years. I also scour craigslist for cheap things I can use for my babies....I found a pond shape, which sat in my yard for 3 years before I skipped the Mr. Man part and simply set it up. I found broken up cement and had...

    I thought chickens should not eat citrus, like oranges? I was going to plant my apple tree in their yard, and the orange tree in the dog yard.....

  9. A curious gander, spying on my while I weed. Pond in progress in the background, and a pile of cement that will be surrounding the pond. There is a cement mixing pan on the right side, you can see the corner. I fill those, then when they are nice a poopy, I dump them and water my Hydrangea with the water. This gander is Charles, a Sebastopol, who favors Christmas-a Pilgrim. I kept their child, MisMatch. Diana was dumped, she is another Sebastopol.

    Water for ducks

    They need to stick the whole beak in, so nipples would be an issue. I like the small cement mixing tray you can get from Home improvement stores. Big enough they can actually bathe, small enough that it is not that much water. I tend to fill it 2-3 times a week, based on how messy they make it...
  11. This is the daughter of Bonnie and Clyde. Her name is Christmas and she is full Pilgrim. The white dork is Charles and he was SUPPOSED to fall in love with Diana, my other Sebastopol goose.....but no, he prefers Christmas.

    What To Use For A Duck Pond And How To Keep It Clean??????

    After searching for an easier solution to the kiddie pool dumping and getting sun damage......I found it works to use cement mixing pans found at lowes and home depot! I have two small, and two large. Extremely easy to dump, easy for them to get in and out, and so far the sun has not damaged...

    When to butcher geese?

    Lol this is exactly why I was searching....my gander was extremely rough with my daughter's favorite chicken, a sweet docile buff Orpington . I ran up and he still hung on! I had to pry his beak off her head. Today's episode was the worst. He may become Christmas dinner instead of his...

    Goslings of 2014 Hatch-a-long

    Totally. So we have another girl, and one boy!! There are still 5 that are all mid-hatch~pretty good for her first brood I think! My daughter thinks the rest may be females but I am hoping at least one is male, simply because I have another potential buyer and it sounds like they would be ideal...
