Does your friend have a pool or pools for them to swim in? She's gotta have really big water buckets if the geese can actually get in them to poop in them; I raise the smallest breed of domestic goose and even then they are the biggest birds I own and couldn't get into my buckets like that. I couldn't imagine they would even want to try squeezing in a bucket if they had access to a pool to swim in instead.

Mine are all sweethearts. I picked a docile breed on purpose, and even the ganders are well-tempered and have never been aggressive, not even in breeding season. There's not really a trick to raising them that I know of, I raise them like all my other birds. Probably handle them a bit more as goslings than the other species because they are so, so sweet and smart, and they will talk back to you if you talk to them and love to cuddle. They're probably my favorite birds.

WOW I had to read that a couple time!

I thought I read something else... I thought you told me to Fleck off!

I was shocked you would talk to sweet me that way..

I am not sure how I would even keep water from turning rock hard here. Any Idea on that?

Four trips a day.... use a syrup jug. Sometimes you can get away with three. I don't give mine swimming water in this weather; just a 1gal bowl half covered.

I was thinking I could sink a stock tank and put a stock tank heater in the bottom. BUT I worry about the Dux getting tangled in the cords-----DUX are known to not be too bright-----and call dux are the VWN'ers of the dux world from what I understand.

Yep!! Short, cute, and sweet.

a lot of people in cold climates do this, and just take the deicer out when they can, or put it in at night, etc etc

on warm days i am giving them a little dish for playtime and otherwise just a normal waterer

though i am thinking about getting one of these:

from what i have read it is much harder for them to make a mess of it and very easily filled

Or you can just keep them in your garage.

Welp, a few years ago I became obsessed with calls and tried hatching some with no success. I have decided to give them a go again, but would like ducklings. Will anybody be having some near me or able to ship anytime soon?
