Anyone around Winfield/Wichita with FEMALE Chinese or African geese?

ChickieWickies: Did you see this ad on Craigslist a few days ago? I don't know whether they sold or not, but the ad is still there. http://wichita.craigslist.org/grd/4008879677.html

I love the Frizzles!

Thanks, Trish, for the link. They are for my mother-in-law--I really can't tell them apart as goslings. She was "gifted" a bunch of boys and would like some ladies to go with them.

Frizzled I love those birds although I just don't stay interested in bantams. I'm happy with my LF Cochins now that I am down to just two colors. I'm a bigger the better kind of chicken girl. but i've got to say those colors are awesome.
Trish don't be surprised if those orps never roost. Those big heavy bodied birds don't like being over about a foot to a foot and a half at most off the ground. I think it's pretty hard for them to fly up very far especially when they get full sized. I keep all of my roosts low because most of the chickens I have like it that way.
My house has been invaded with flies. It's driving me insane. I have no idea how I am going to get rid of them. There's too much in and out traffic here for sure.
I could swat them for weeks and never make a dent. There's things about fall I really really hate. Two of those are flies and gnats!!! Even though the weather doesn't think it's fall the bugs and the birds do.

For me, I just get bogged down once I am on the internet and forget what it was I wanted to do!

Howdy everyone!!! Hope you are all well, I am so very far behind, I skimmed posts but figured I better just pop in real quick.

Trish-Sorry about your SS hen, that is hard. I sold my seramas last week and just found out one of the frizzled pullets passed away. I was pretty sad, she was a sweet little girl.

Danz-I go around with vinegar spray and spray the flies in the house so they fall down then squish them! DH picks on me relentlessly when I go "fly hunting" but I can't stand them in the house!!!

Frizzledpink- Post baby pics when those little chickies hatch!!! I can't wait to see them. I just hatched out a bunch of accidental cochin chicks, again. They were under a broody hen. Now I have a bunch of black mottled splits to mille fleur that I really don't need! My last hatch was heavy with boys too which is a bummer. Two of them are super cute calicos.

Amelia and I went to Maine for a week to visit family. She was awesome on the plane rides both to and back home. I was so proud of her but what an exhausting thing flying with a baby. SO much to do and remember when its not just you anymore!

Here is my little sweetie at the beach sinking her toes into the sand for the first time!

I loved the pictures. Looked on your Mom's facebook as well as yours. Hope you guys had a great trip!
So if you spray vinegar the flies just fall? Is it straight vinegar in a spray bottle or do you mix it with something. Any special kind of vinegar? I run around with a fly swatter but my arm doesn't do what my eyes tell it to obviously. I have fly spots everywhere and have had since we moved here. I don't ever remember having that problem any where else I lived. Flies make me angry. I am totally grossed out if they land on me. Of course I have these two English Orp girls in here who have been sneezing. I am sure that doesn't help. I set their cage outside this morning but can't leave them there because they'll get too hot.

Danz, what color cochins do you have?

Josie, welcome home. It looks like your trip was fun. Flying is CRAZY with a baby--we went to Washington with a 2 1/2 yr old and 8 mo old years ago. Between strollers, car seats, and diaper/keep-the-kids-happy bags, I was shocked we survived and didn't lose anything!

Oh, Josie, your chicks are so tempting. Are they LF or bantam?
