Greetings from Oregon
Hello, I guess introductions are in order first. I didn't set out to become a flock mother. It was thrust upon me by my own live-in parent.

Ducks and Geese Disappearing
This summer, three of my ducks disappeared within a matter of two weeks. Then, two more disappeared a couple of months ago. They have all disappeared sometime in the middle of the day. Not a trace was left of them. No feathers (or any extra that I could tell when they were molting). They are...- Brooke_R

Deformed Sebastopol Geese
We took in three Sebastopol geese and two of them have deformed wings. We have been told by Cornell’s exotic department and another vet that it is not angel wing but no one knows what it is. They act perfectly normal minus their wings are bent downward. They can stretch them out and lift them...- animallover75

What to do when you first get waterfowl?
Am I just overthinking this- or what do we need to do to “settle” ducks and geese into living at our farm pond? Do they need to be locked in a pen up there before letting them roam the pond? If so how long? After I have waterfowl living there and want to introduce new- do I need to follow the...- AgTeacherWV

Chinese geese (new member)
I have 3 males and two females (siblings) needing homes. I’d need to see evidence of PIC required before I’d let them go. The females lay have laid about 40 eggs per year.
