Pete I hope your weather spring of 2013 is far better than this year. Marty you know you wont be capable of resisting setting eggs again. (all of my bators are up and running again, we tend to hatch October - June with some time off around Christmas)

Marty, your buff dewlaps are about the same as Iains yes? Cant remember when you hatched yours now. Looks like a few of them had fun playing in mud recently with the dirty feet lol.

great picture Iain, cant wait for our buffs to get alittle more age on them to start showing bulk.

Marty, geese are seasonal layers. Climate will have an effect on them laying as well age and light. You NEVER add artificial light trying to force laying in geese. They have a natural clock and you just don't want to screw with it. Some breeds lay more than others even though they are all...

if its happening at night, someone is chewing on them most likely.

I will see first goose eggs from the Africans in December and January from the early Sebbie girls. Then February/March for everyone else.

Marty unfortunately, I was up and reading at 4:30 my time (3:30 yours lol) thanks to storms rolling through. Here is your reminder to get me some pictures! :D

Marty you still need to share more pictures of your group.

Just lovely. Tucker and Caboosh both have nice necks and heads with the white breaking the buff pattern. I like churches side profile and his saddle is nice too. I agree on your thoughts of donut having too much buff. It's very interesting how the different breeds have characteristics to...

MrsMagoo, Caboosh is just stunning! The kids look very happy too, can't believe how big everyone is getting. Hope you don't mind, I keep sending people your way and to Kawonu when they email asking about Poms.

Marty, we are doing very well. Hubby is having a good day, will be done on base shortly and back home. The storm is GONE, time to clean up downed branches ect and let the geese back out front. aaa, ah yes an animal broker. Sorry you didn't see the parents, but good that she is doing well. I...

Hey Marty, busy busy around here as always. Picked up a new goat yesterday, he isn't even 3 weeks old and being bottle fed. Should make a good first herd sire around here. Get some pictures of your crew soon please? Would love to see how they are all doing. The boys wing feathers, he could be...

Plant, no I haven't read enough benefits to do it for the geese. Juveniles and adults get straight grains with their Mazuri waterfowl.

aaa... I feed wheat to the adults. Actually everything we feed is listed on the farms website. I update it as we make changes. Rolled and crimped oats are cheaper in bulk from the feed store rather than feeding old fashioned oats. (quacker quick oats is not the same) I don't buy crimped ever as...

Flewdacoop, not sure what you mean? Was just giving advice to one person who is looking at goslings today.

Aaa, I don't soak feed before giving it to goslings. I only offer rolled oats though, no wheat, and only when their wing feathers start growing in. When looking at goslings who are 1 & 2 months old it's important to make sure they are moving normally, there are Wong issues going on, and they...

We won't sell just females, everything is sold as straight run, pairs or single ganders if we have any. So your options would be to buy straight run or a pair, but if you know for certain you have a gander already I wouldn't sell you a male/female pair because that wouldn't be fair to the girl...

Oh no Marty! That must have been some storm roll through. I hope you find Luna. We are about to move a building here and have to hurricane anchor it and the duck and goose houses. Always a fun thing.

She looks good. That's about what I described in the beginning. Glad you found a new vet who has ideas to correct.

ok, a few new pictures from today. Lets see if I can sort them and post the Buff Dewlaps for you Iain. Party Time, Sebastopol Buff Dewlap Toulouse Group Picture
