I'm sorry to hear of your loss and struggle to save your babies. I recently purchased 12 goslings myself, and received them 1 week ago. To say the 8 super African geese are thriving would be an understatement. They grow in front of my eyes. HOWEVER, in the group of the 4 Sebastopol geese, 3 are...
LOL..." pit bull chickens" ...that's cute. I'm not the most computer saavy individual so please bear with me. I don't know what all the abbreviations stand for...what does " LF" stand for...Large fowl? and DH? sorry ......I also used to have a rooster that was very hard to work with. I used to...
Thank you for the warning! I would really like Healthy and Quality Chicks! Keep me in mind when you have eggs available Or let me know if you sell chicks that I can purchase. I'm interested in preserving the russian orloff. Some say they have a sinister look to them, and that's why they aren't...

I would absolutely love to get on a waiting list, even if I do have to wait until 2012 to get a few Mahogany colored Russian Orloff. I love the idea of a Cuckoo variety also. Please Keep in touch, e-mail me, or let me know how we could work something out. I'd be thrilled to buy eggs...

My husband and I ordered some Russian Orloff chicks from Ideal Poultry out of Texas last summer. We got 12 hens and a rooster. They are great birds and we are looking to get some more this spring but we want to try a different hatchery to ensure a different bloodline for...
I agree. If I lived 35 miles from Cackle Hatchery I'd be in trouble. The temptation would just be too great. My husband thinks I have too many birds now. LOL I have ordered from Cackle hatchery before with great success. They even sent quite a few "freebies" in my order. I ordered a Turkey...
Hello. I'm hoping someone can direct me to anyone who breeds different color varieties of the Russian Orloff. I have the spangled version, but I've read that they come in different color varieties as well like White, Black, mahogany,etc. Does anyone know any Russian orloff breeders who would...
I have to say, if there's any chance of predator problems or even neighbor dogs entering your yard I would consider having a pen or some type of building that they can sleep in at night or escape to during the day. I lost 3 geese one year because of a coyote or two The very first geese I ever...
The fenced enclosure is actually quite large. But unless I'm home I don't let them out because of my coyote problem. They're very smart and they round up their duck companions and go inside the barn for the evening. Then I let them out in their fenced area during the day while I'm working. If...
Those little sebbies are such little dolls. The pictures were very adorable. I have 3 african geese right now. Super friendly too. I hand feed them treats and they follow me around the yard when I'm home and let them out of their pens. I had 4 Toulouse once, but no matter how hard I tried they...
Thank you, all of you for your input. This spring will mark the "2nd" year mark since the disaster. I do have a little pond for them which they used to use ( when it was warm) to wade around in. Maybe you're right and I should actually have the remaining geese DNA tested for male or female. I...
4 years ago I purchased 6 African Geese. It resulted in 2 ganders and 4 female geese. All was going well for a while. My ganders and females had paired off. Then disaster struck...Coyotes killed all but 1 gander and 2 geese. I came home from work to carnage all over my lawn and a coyote leaving...
