    Can I incorporate Geese into my small duck flock?

    I have 5 ducks. 4 welsh harlequins (one is male) and 1 silver appleyard. They’re 2 years old. I want to get two female goslings and introduce them to the ducks once they’re big enough but not too big. I also have a polish chicken who stays with the ducks, which might also be a problem. I keep my...

    Canada goose with a possibly broken joint

    Hello there, I could really use an advice from people who have geese and had experience with injuries in the ankle area. I have lots of experience with chickens but none with geese. I saw this poor little guy in a park. He hopped on one leg, raising the other. I brought him home, examined the...

    Goose eggs

    I am getting a couple goose eggs, I have had zero luck hatching ducks with my incubator but great success with chickens. My question is should I incubate the goose eggs like a chicken in my incubator or would it be best to put them under my broody muscovy duck? My muscovy just went broody...

    How old till you can tell the sex of an African Goose

    I'm hatching African geese to show in August, age doesn't matter at the show but I need two of the opposite sex. What age is the best to tell what the difference is? Is it possible to confirm when they're this young?

    SOS MY GEESE ARE BEING BRATS😂

    Anyone have any idea why my geese won't go into the coop at night? I have a pair and they've gone into the coop every night since I got them when they were about 2 months old. They just started giving me a hard time with going in at night. This is the 3rd night, the female will go in after a...

    HELP: What should I do next???

    I think there isn't anything else I can do ??? This egg never lost the weight even though low humidity and daily cooling and spritzing. Honestly, didn't think it would make it this far. About 12 hours ago I noticed that it externally pipped, NOT in the air cell. (This egg with abnormally...

    Looking for Eggs

    Hello, I’ve been looking to add new birds to my flock. I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this. Does anyone know of any websites that have goose eggs or turkey eggs? Is anyone willing to sell any that will ship to Washington USA? Anyone know if this website is reliable...

    Egg air cell not progressing???

    I have one goose egg at day 21 in the incubator that has not been losing the required weight. I have been dry incubating and it shows humidity at 25%, but the air cell is not growing the way it should. The little bird is very active in the shell and I figure the shell is just extraordinarily...

    Metal Toxicity and Eggs

    Last year in may one of my geese, consumed a washer and bolt/screw. She was rushed to the vet when she became lethargic and thus started chelation therapy. Within about a month and a half she successfully passed the metal and was back to being happy/healthy. I was wondering if anyone has any...

    Guard Geese

    For anyone considering buying “Guard” geese to protect your flock, watch this first and then reconsider. Not my video, just found it on YouTube. Also TRIGGER WARNING the video involves the death of numerous chickens. The lesson. Geese will not and can not defend your flock. More info here...

    Goose or gander?

    I have a small backyard flock of 9 ducks, all females, and 2 geese that we got to protect the ducks from hawks, and as guard geese. They are excellent at their jobs. But now it's mating season. The Chinese, JJ da Boss is definitely a gander but I'm having trouble figuring out the sex of Big...

    Do ganders squat as submission?

    I have two Pilgrim ganders, or so I thought! When I approach either of them they will squat and spread wings in the mating position and even flex their vents just as my hens (ducks) do. I don't know if this is common in ganders too? Or perhaps my pure Pilgrims aren't actually pure...

    ((GORE WARNING)) Necropsy findings, Swollen gizzard.

    Any hypothesis on what could've caused this? Swollen gizzard, shrunken and purple heart, pale organs, and extremely underweight. There was no fat anywhere on him including his heart. He ate plenty, but started collapsing every month until he suffered a seizure and died. He was a rescue and...
