Hurricane Advice

Years ago, my company built a headquarters building in the middle of a goose habitat. And they were stunned when the geese arrived and pooped all over the sidewalk.

@DwayneNLiz do you know who the guilty is? Hovering hawk? dastardly dog? calling coyote? Neighbor's kid? Rascally Raccoon? Oppressive opossum?

That many sounds like a dog. So sorry. File a report for a livestock predator. Post flyers and we'll round up the posse!

looks like I lost about 20 birds
tufted lol
mine don't but they do kick and scratch a lot

Oh, so sorry, was afraid of that from the first post. Do you know what did it? So you can rid yourself of it. Don't know how many hens you had, hope you have some left to start over with.

I can't believe it... I ordered my goose hatching eggs in January. They'll be here in April, wish I'd ordered 3 dozen instead of 2. ARG

So jealous - you have room for everything! On second thought, you have the logistical skills to manage it ... so maybe not really jealous.

So you ordered eggs last Jan and they arrive next April??

That's the running joke here, no one in New Orleans should ever go hungry, Because all you need is a scrap of bread and you could have duck or goose for dinner.

That Is funny! Also funny I think you could give a duck or goose and most people have no idea how to turn it into dinner.
Luckily on this thread we have excellent culinary resources including you, rjohns and too many to name!

Wait...quails spray poo? Does this include button quails? Please let me know a fella is trying to give me fourteen buttons and if this poo spraying is a thing for all quail I'm thinking I might pass.

What, not appealing to you??

Those are REAL cool! No wonder the long lead time!

Nope I like quail, I think they're cute but if I ever saw one paint the walls the love affair is over.

I'm trying to raise critically endangered species.

So do they only weed gardens with large plants or would they eat my lettuce, herbs, peppers, etc?

I have a friend who was in a fight with DNR. He isn't letting birds loose... He's free ranging his pheasants and quail.
