Pilgrim Geese thread

Even found a well hidden nest in their time-out pen! Looks like one of the young girls is making it, well, she was sitting on it. 5 eggs in there too! Found another in the chicken coop. The IA pair has claimed that location. Now to figure out where to put who. Had pens set up, but now want them somewhere else. Post pounding for me today!

I would love to get Pilgrims,but I have heard that finding pure ones are hard to find. We had Pilgrims when I was a kid growing up. I think I'll check out the chicken swap in Maryland next month and see if I can find a few.

Are you sure it wasn't snapping turtles. They will get goslings and ducklings when on the water. Sorry for your loss.

That could have been fox, coyote, raccoon, opossum, skunk, mink, weasel, fisher...pretty much anything at night.
