California - Northern

Muscovy #3, #4, & #5 are out and drying.
I'm going to wait a bit before candling the other 3.
No pips or rocking yet but they'd be gravy.
I am ecstatic with the 5 so far.
Be warned, chicken people, these wee ones are just as addictive.

My husband's been trying to get me to try hatching ducks and geese...Mostly for vineyard clean up, then Christmas dinner!

I agree with Lompoc. I live in Monterey County. Definitely Central Coast California.

You are at the right place!

Do you have chickens yet?

asking for a friend: can geese (hatchery geese, toulouse,emben,african,etc) be sold at county fairs? like selling them how you would a meat bird?

Oo, Frieda might be cooperating for me to join in the Easter HAL--she's been in the nest box since I got home at 3 this afternoon, and pulling eggs out from under her didn't budge her

So I may well be PMing you tomorrow night, @ronott1

Hope she comes through for you!

That is probably a question better asked of the fair officials. It may vary by county.

My DH always says I have to many birds but as soon as they hatch he's just as excited as the kids are lol and just as lack luster about them as they go thru the awkward teenager stage which is when they're developing their "personalities" and pecking order. I love the whole process from egg to first squawk/quack/honk and I'm so happy that I can indulge in this hobby where I live with the only restrictions being how much I can handle =)

Had a friend over who hasn't seen mine since they were in the brooder. She was fascinated by how much they'd grown and how distinct their personalities are. Also, the fact that my cockerel's crow ends with a sad "bagpipe deflating" noise, LOL! I kinda find it adorable.
