I use the 2x4" welded wire and it works great! My pit bull jumped at the fence once (because I accidentally threw her ball at it) and it barely bent. It's really strong. I get a 6 foot tall 100 foot long roll at Tractor Supply store for about $100-$110. I use regular chicken wire for the...
We are thinking of using steel fence posts...hopefully. That's what the neighbors used in the short fence that goes through the middle of the pond and it works pretty well. This "pond" is more like a 3 foot deep mud puddle, so if we used 6 foot fence posts in the REALLY wet spots, we would have...
We are thinking of significantly increasing the size of our duck/goose enclosure to completely enclose a large swampy area and part of a pond in the back of our property. I know they would just LOVE it! It doesn't look like much more than a field of dead grass, but has a lot of small open water...
They're doing GREAT! I'm surprised that they don't even TRY to bite me! At night I wrangle them into an enclosed wooden shelter. At first they were all kinds of confused, but now whenever they see me come out right at dark, they both honk and then go into the shelter themselves!!! I'm AMAZED at...
These two geese were dropped off at my house at night. They're really sweet and obviously used to be pets since they eat out of my hand. I've been told they are Toulouse (sp?)??? Anyone know if male/female?? I've never had geese and know NOTHING. I'm looking for a good book (comparable to...
dumping geese?
I had two geese dropped off at my driveway at 1030 at night... They're really tame and eat right out of my hands! I can't believe people do that. Well, they have a good home now! :) I'm in love.
I was just given a 3-4 week old duck from someone who didn't want to take care of her.
She's unbelievably sweet and I adore her!
Right now I have her in a bathtub with straw and a dish for water and food.
I have LOTS of questions:
1. What do they eat when they are this small? My grandma told...
I give mine a Flock Block (about $11 at a feed store) and I just set it on a cement block or 2x4... It has the oyster shells and grit right in it and they LOVE it.
Also, the leftover grower... when they got a little oder, I mixed their "grown up" food with the starter and used it all up...
