i'll be starting on the 3rd         ---- it's sooo cool that people i've never met actually 'get' me ... 

Of course we do!! We have our babies too!

See? Spoiled little grey call duck, lol...

adorable! (mommy, why'd you stop rubbing my belly??) ...go ahead --- get me started on ducks!!! lol -- had i not had this forced temporary egg hiatus, i might've done it!! .... but then i see how fast my geese are growing (moved down here with 12, and now have 40+) -- as much as i love my peas, nothing makes me smile and laugh like my geese...just something about the waterfowl...

 

[seminolewind]

You have that many geese?????

 

[Ravynscroft]

@johnskoi I'll raise the ducks, you raise the geese... lol...

wow, I guess california has much more money to waste on such things now ?

My theory is that the more populated an area is, the more regulations are imposed! I'd be surprised if a sparsely populated State like Wyoming has need for door-to-door animal control census re dog licenses.

total count w/goslings, 50 .... i'd like to be about 1/2 that... i plan to keep a dozen from other people's eggs.... and most of the others have homes waiting for them -- just need to make sure they get a clean bill (ha) of health

I know everyone suggests NPIP. My question is, it seems the regulations vary state to state.

Here in Pennsylvania, I don't believe you can have open to runs, everything must be enclosed to prevent access from wild birds. While I understand this from a biosecurity standpoint, it makes it very difficult and expensive to keep any quantity of birds in a situation where they have a decent area of outside ground access.

Is this part of the regulations nationwide?

no further testing (to my knowledge) since samples and eggs were taken on 6/11 ... i agreed to let them know IMMEDIATELY if ANYTHING seemed wrong... i've been in contact with either VA DOA or USDA every few days... (USDA was here 2 or 3 days ago).... honestly, my birds have NEVER been healthier (which isn't how my luck usually runs) ... LOL ... testing WILL be done sometime around July 4th along with a game plan to move forward ... and it will probably be THE most intensive (and i honestly hope it is at this point) ... when i sell my next egg, i want to feel good about it -- taking orders NOW!! --- (that was meant in fun

)

Next spring....sign me up for some showgirls......lol ;-)

total count w/goslings, 50 .... i'd like to be about 1/2 that... i plan to keep a dozen from other people's eggs.... and most of the others have homes waiting for them -- just need to make sure they get a clean bill (ha) of health

That's a lot of geese!!

So glad you and the birds are doing well! Just a few more days!!!

SURPRISE!!! At least in Cowley. Dog licenses are due the end of January, and livestock permits are as well. Mid February Lisa (town clerk) gives Dan (only town cop) a list of the names who haven't paid yet and he goes door to door reminding folks. I got "reminded" once that Molly needed her tag, and I was on the town council at the time!

Here livestock is allowed in town. There's a guy behind me with a couple of steers he raises up annually. There are goats, sheep, horses, mules, donkeys, ducks, chickens and turkeys. Poultry doesn't need any kind of permit and there is no limit to what you can have. Although large livestock needs a permit - based on the number of critters you have - the fee is nominal, just a few bucks each. 4H kids pay less if they bring their 4H book in with them. I pay $3.50 for Molly's dog license.
