Isa's Homestead Happenings and Hangout

Pics
A divider...I'm not wasting money making that a solid wall. It'll be metal three feet up from the ground and then netting the rest of the way.

Like these:

But prettier. The back won't look like that either. It'll be completely open or partially closed as shown by the line halfway across the roosting area.

Geese are seasonal layers. Some of the geese derived from Swan Geese (Chinese most notably) will lay twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall. Mine have only ever laid once in the spring. Of course, they lay more if I pull their eggs and don't let them set. My point is that come spring, when they should be laying and would be separated in order to not produce mongrel goslings, I have no idea if they'll lay. As it stands now, I can bet good money, none of the goslings developing are pure.
The top pic looks how people keep gamefowl. For my ornamental pheasants back in the day I had 10feet deep by 20foot wide divided in 4foot stalls. Worked very well. built in sections just like a house studs were 2foot centers. My flypen stalls that turned into a lean to shed was 10' in back and 10'6 in front 24' wide divided in 4' stalls all 2x4 welded wire. The roof ended up coating alot more cause the tin was I think 32" wide plus an overlap and I figured for 36". Theure really nice and something you'll build once and have for life as long as treated wood is used
 
Been getting it since last night. Have about 2 inches of ice. I had to carry Rona from her apartment (she's hard molting) to the duck house where all food and water is. She refused to come out.
I hate ice storms so much. We're eating some heavy snow right now, but no ice atm 🤞
 
Peanut had taken to getting on top of the shed come roost time. The other storage next to it is about waist high. I am able to get on my knees on that and scoop her up. She has started to "walk" to the back of my hand so that I can get down and she doesn't get put down only to get scooped up again. That's our nightly routine.

What kind is she?
