    A Dream Job of Mine...

    Edit to add: I can also transport poultry equipment, like orders from Rogier Poultry Supplies. I want to start a transport business. As a transporter, I would basically transport birds and/or small animals for breeders and buyers. A lot of people prefer transporters over shipping for a few...

    Curly Chinese Geese?

    Has anyone heard of or does anyone even know of anyone who's had or even seen curly feathered Chinese geese of any color? I've been searching the great interwebs for days and am coming up with nothing. Everything with "curly" and "goose" in the same search only comes up Sebastapol. I have...

    Is it safe to leave 3 week old goslings with 4 month old geese?

    I moved my two 3 week old goslings to the outside brooder and introduced them to their older siblings. They took to them surprisingly well, not extremely broody, but attentive enough that when the babies chirp they run to them. One gosling keeps going after my gander though but he just "yells"...

    Will geese be safe in thunderstorm?

    We're having severe weather currently and my 3 geese are outside, happy as can be (they're in the pool). I can't get outside right now (safely) but they have trees and their pen for cover. I'm worried for them, will they be safe?

    Is this potential angel wing?

    So I recently switched my goslings over to waterfowl feed instead of all flock raiser. But looking at my gosling wings I’m a little worried about angel wing with the change in protein content. I cannot tell if it is just the way his feathers are laying or if he is starting to develop angel wing.

    Ducks at the Local Lake

    I visited one of the local lakes today and fed the ducks a mix of Purina feed, Mazuri feed, and mealworms. A lot got picked up by grackles & pigeons, and unfortunately some ducks didn’t even recognize it as food (so used to eating bread).. but those who did eat it were clearly very grateful ❤️...

    New to geese: questions and concerns!

    Hi everyone! I just acquired two Sebastopol goslings and I have a few questions. I’m pretty sure they’re mixed. They’re not breed standard, but they’re just pets so that really isn’t an issue. Number one issue is one seems to have an issue with her crop. She is holding her head up like she’s...

    My Goslings Have Arrived - A Metzer Farms Review

    Back in May, I ordered 2 female goslings - 1 Buff, 1 African. On June 18th, at around 10:30 AM, the shipping label was created in TN (their secondary hatchery). It was quite a stressful time after that, as the USPS tracker did not update whatsoever until today (June 20th) when they arrived...

    Giving enrofloxacin (Baytril) a second time?

    I treated my geese a while ago for a respiratory infection with enrofloxacin, symptoms got a lot better but never fully cleared after the 5 days. They are still having mild symptoms and I’m unsure if I should give them the same antibiotic again now that some time has passed and it hasn’t cleared...

    Yesterday, I placed an order for 2 goslings from Metzer Farms! I decided on getting 2 females; 1 Buff, 1 African. I might even look for an adult gander in the future, assuming these 2 are good.
