My geese are super friendly....and my chickens love to be held :) But like you said...we have spent tons of time with them and gave each one a lot of attention.
I have never even been around ducks...how are their personalities compared to geese and chickens? I plan to only get females in whatever it is I get...I worry about drakes hurting my chickens that will also be free ranging with them.
Ok...I was wanting crested pekin ducks...UNTIL I read about them...before that I just thought they were super cute and I like that they were larger ducks. Now I'm not so sure I should get crested. Is there another breed of ducks that is friendly...and large? They will be housed seperate from...
I am thinking about getting a couple of crested pekin ducklings(female)and I was just curious as to what their temperments are? I have geese and chickens but I have never even been around ducks. Are they personable like my geese and chickens? Thanks!
I will try and get some pictures tomorrow :) I will admit this is the most precious thing in the world watching them parent these babies :) They are nothing like chickens...they really take this parenting serious :)

Thanks for the reply :) My boys are total sweethearts! They really want to Mother(or I guess Daddy?)my chickens...especially my Serama chickens!LOL Which want no part of having a goose daddy! If I could figure out how to share pictures I would show my boys...they are beautiful little pigs...
I have 2 of the sweetest sebastopol ganders that were hatched last July.....next week I am driving 7 looooong hours to Texas Hill Country get 2 sebastopol babies(just hatched a couple of days ago) What is the best way to introduce my new babies to my boys? The babies will be in the house at...
I'm in Louisiana so this doesn't really pertain to me...but just out of curiosity...do the geese have trouble with frostbite on their feet when it's snowy and ice like that?
I have 2 Sebastopol geese(males) and I want to get 2 females....I have the opportunity to get either 2 female toulouse or 2 female embden(SP?) which breed would work well with my sebastopol? My boys are total sweethearts...so I want females with simular dispositions. Also these females are a...
Can anyone tell me what the most economical incubator is? I need one that I can hatch goose eggs as well as chicken eggs. I have a headache from looking at all of the different kinds trying to decide :)
