Grey or Buff Saddleback Geese Wanted

[Oregon Blues]

Sasa, your gander is lovely, but he is not a Pomeranian.

 

[Sasa]

Oh well, I would LOVE to have a Pomeranian if I knew where to get one....How gorgeous!

He's a Calender boy for sure. He was $50, I don't know what she charges for hens.

Gosh, I am starting to realize that I got a deal. I got 6 for $100.

You not only got a deal.....you stole them!!!! That is an excellent deal.

I paid $15 each for goslings, up to $10 apiece for hatching eggs, and $80 for my original pair of unrelated adults (somewhat locally).

 

[Sasa]

Amazing deal!

The breeder just wanted to get rid of them. I guess they are hard to sell here. They had been on Craigslist for nearly a month, and he had lowered the price twice.

 

[1MrsMagoo]

Geesh. The rest of us can't find them and that guy couldn't even sell them. His issues is that he didn't advertise them in the right place.

 

[Sasa]

Wow, here they would go fast. I feel lucky to have found some 7 year old Toulouse hens, I'll get them on Friday.

He is really into his chickens, and sells them all over the country, I think he just didn't like geese once he bought them, and didn't want to bother with them.

For some reason everyone down here has African geese or Embdens, but I know very few people who have geese. Everyone I know who did have geese did not lock them up at night, with predictable results. There are many ponds in my area, and people put them out on the ponds and just expect them to survive with no human intervention. There is a pond in front of the nursing home where my dad stayed and people would dump ducks and geese there all the time, thinking that they would be fed and cared for. Those poor creatures never got anything more than crackers unless I brought food for them. Also, there were so many turtles in the pond that the little ones never made it. I got my first geese taking home ones that had been injured.
