Another group of my chickens, my 3 project birds went home with DD tonight. They were a Rose comb RIR/Buckeye type trio. At the point I want to be with breed/type now aside from 3 layer hens. May do this project again they sure laid eggs well. At 6 years now some of my coops are due to be replaced. If I can't safely confine a chicken I will not keep them. I do do a daytime free range but one of the roofs are falling in now.
DD also brought Gee, my oldest Chinese Gander home to help keep eggs fertile. Gee was her pet, left here when she married and moved to Ohio 3 years ago. If egg fertility doesn't change its time to add new lines, goslings. Any adult goose I have goes to my veterinarian if they need re homed! They "work" for him as Arial predator deterrent. In return they live out their lives there. Ponds for the cattle, Non GMO diet, and a huge electronet pasture that's rotated. They oversee his baby chicken, duck and turkey as they grow for market. We do NOT eat our geese, neither does he..
I have had 1 gander in 50+ years that I let go for a table bird, flat horribly mean and could not improve his demeanor.
