I’m not sure. I haven’t weighed them. I will try to do that today and let you know. I had never heard of California Tans and Amberlink. I think they are one of those but my girls combs aren’t as big.?.? The CT having leghorn in them would make sense with their flightiness, but they seem to fit...

I got these two hens from a friend of mine, that got them from TSC for .50 if I remember right. They were the ones left over that didn’t sell. We have no clue what breed they are. They lay dark brown eggs, not chocolate but darker than my others. They lay daily but are more flighty than my...

Did you ever get a fecal test done on her?

I’ve never had geese before. We get our first goslings in a few weeks. We have had ducks but have always used kiddie pools. Yes, they are messy little stinkers but we love them. Glad to hear geese may be cleaner. My goal is to use there pool water to water our garden. Hence the reason for the...

I was thinking originally of a drain. My husband though says it will be hard to install a drain on this pond due to it having to be on the side above the curve.

Has anyone used these for their geese/ducks? Pros? Cons? If so, did you use a pump to drain it...

Awe. Happy birthday Grandma!! She sounds so very special ❤️

Has he ever been dewormed? Loss of body condition and lethargy are signs that he may have a parasite overload.

I did find this thread. I hope I’m sharing it right… https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/what-does-your-goose-coop-look-like.586695/

I’ve looked as well. I ended up starting a thread asking about it in the duck section, then came over here to see if anything was in the goose section. Hopefully some are willing to share there setup.

I live in the southeast US. We have very mild winters here. I am trying to come up with a plan for duck housing but not really sure WHAT to plan if that makes sense. I have had Muscovies for approximately 12 years but they have all been free range using my well house, shed, barn, or even a...

Anyone in a warm climate with mild winters? I would love to see your setup.

Frizzles can be very fragile especially if they are frazzles and not frizzles. (Frizzle x frizzle = frazzle) Feathers break off easily and they get bald spots. They are more sensitive to cold and heat. They do require more maintenance than your avg chicken. You could treat for mites with...

We have a coop we purchased from tractor supply. It works for our four bantams but we did buy a fence extension so they would have more room to roam.

I’m sorry about your loss. I would try to keep five just in case, as mentioned above, one or two passes. Orpingtons, Australorps, and Cochins are my go to for pets. They tend to be very docile and friendly. However we do have a frizzle (looks to be Cochin decent.?.?) that will walk right up...

Yeah, TSC hardly has any whenever I go. They sell out in a few hours. Plus, me knowing I have 25 babies coming in a few weeks keeps me from buying…and they don’t have the breeds I want. I have a friend who bought some for a dollar (ones they had to move). If I had that offered to me I can’t say...

Definitely get your water tested. I third the necropsy. I’m so sorry

They weirded me out too until I got my daughter her’s. I tried so hard to get her to pick another breed but she wanted those. Now I love them 🥰

😂 truth!! I have had hens get into fights over ducklings before. Some not even setting in a nest prior! Now I also separate when there are ducklings.

I have had Muscovies for about 12 years and I have yet to have an aggressive drake. I wonder if it is a bloodline thing. I have always purchased from just one breeder until this year. I hope I don’t regret my decision to branch out and buy from someone new :confused: Unfortunately the breeder I...
