Hello all, I'm in south SA. I've got a quite a few fertilized eggs for sale if anyone is interested.

Gonna use a dog kennel, but will wrap or double wrap with chicken wire. I don't think a predator can get INTO kennel, but a coon could reach THROUGH kennel. It will go on picnic table.

Don't do the chicken wire. Better to just go straight to hardware cloth. Heard too many stories of chicken wire getting ripped through.

Using boards around the kennel would work also. Should have a new batch hatching soon. Broody saw the big pile of eggs and moved off the fertile ones she was sitting on. Those four may be gone. The 29 in the bator will be plenty if only half of them hatch.

What a great way to remember your Mom, Sean, with fig trees from cuttings off her trees.

My mom loved her rose bushes but, despite good care, none of them did well out here.

My mom loved daffodils and had thousands planted along the drive, fenceline......everywhere.

Looking for Embden or American Buff, or mix goslings. I have been trying to google search buying them somewhere close to San Antonio, but it seems inpossible.

Is there some secret way to google search these geese? Or maybe they aren't popular in Texas? We want to get a female gosling to raise with our ducks for when we move into the country as a guardian/alert companion. But when I search for "embden" or "buff" geese in Texas, I get nothing, or I get a runaround or dead websites. Am I doing it wrong, or is there some secret term only goose lovers know that us duck lovers don't?

Anyway, any help would be appreciated. We don't want chinese or african, as from what I've read, they can be seriously mean to outsiders and noisy and I don't want either issues. Unless anyone has another suggestion that I haven't considered?

Or does anyone here have these geese and are looking to unload a female gosling?

Heavily recommend looking up your local bird groups on fb. It helps a lot for finding your local breeders because anyone who has the birds you're looking for probably knows the 3 closest breeders. You may have to travel a bit tho.

I've traveled, believe me. I drove 3 hours to get 2 runner ducklings a year ago. So I am willing, if it means getting the bird I want.

Hah I tracked 5 hours for eggs a few weeks ago. Nothing crazy exciting but I couldn't find decent price purebred eggs. But I paid 15$ for 3 dozen pure bred chickens from show quality birds so I'm pleased enough.
