    HELP! Goslings attacking Ducklings

    Percy wasn't a single, lol. He has a girlfriend. Her eggs weren't fertile, and she really wasn't interested in the babies that weren't hers, but he did a good job with them. I understand that the behavior is different, just pointing out that each bird is different, and that gender isn't always...

    HELP! Goslings attacking Ducklings

    Sorry. Typo. Meant sexed birds. Bummer. Well, I'd definitely keep them separated for now. Or at least remove the offending goose, and maybe a friend for it. What are you feeding these guys? I have had geese, standard ducks, and call ducks all in together with no issues, but others have had...

    HELP! Goslings attacking Ducklings

    What breeds do you have? Are they sexed birds? Is it just one of the geese that seems to be doing this, as far as you can tell? Do you have photos of the damage to your ducks?
