Lets see your Egyptians (plus pinioning pics on page 3)

When is the breeding season for egyptians? So, if I had separate pens- (10x10 kennels) one for domestic geese/ducks, and one for the egyptain pair... I could let them out to mingle with the other birds on the pond and then separate them during breeding season and while they have goslings? Oh, and will they go back to a pen at night if they got used to it?

Breeding season is spring/summer. Yes outside of breeding season we let our Egyptians mingle with our other waterfowl.

Yeah because the Egyptians here have no really set time when they have goslings... its almost like year around... Did you raise many Wild Muscovys?

We show our pinioned birds; last year one of our Egyptian ganders (pinioned) took Grand Champion light goose at the SD state fair, but may depend on the show.

Yes you can show them if they have clipped wings or are pinioned.
