My weekend was fun and full if surprises!

Awwwe, that's adorable! Yorkie right? How was the labor and delivery? I will be midwifing my Siberian Husky Dawn next year when we breed her to our Phantom.

Chicken Math is us being unable to say no. Basically like me. I wanted a flock of 12 hens, 1 Roo, and 3 geese (1 gander and 2 goose). Now I have a flock of near 30 chickens (can't wait for cull day though to get rid of some Roos), 6 geese, and am adding 5 ducks from you in a week or sooner.
And I still want some EE chicks as well, lol.

That is classic Chicken Math. We can't resist a "few" more.

Well...at least the ducks won't be lonely.

The question is, will I survive till it passes?

You're tough...I believe you will.

Those of you with ducks... Do you have a separate coop/pen for them? What do you do for water for them to play in? Is a little blue pool big enough for then to get what they need for a lifetime?

My flock may scare the poop out of those poor ducks. I am hoping for a best friends thing though

I don't have ducks yet, but I have geese and a kiddie pool is enough for them.

My geese currently live with the chickens. But I am building a second coop for the chickens. During breeding season ganders get very protective over their females and it is best to separate them or they will hurt someone. I don't know if ducks get like that though

Ok, next dumb question.... What do you raise geese for? Fun? Eggs?

Quote:
I raise Chinese geese and African geese, which are closely related. The Chinese goose is the most prolific egg layer of the geese breeds, it is also the loudest and makes an excellent watch dog (you WILL know the second something or someone that is not suppose to be there is in your yard), and they are often called the swan goose for their beauty. However, if not raised and handled properly Chinese geese can be very aggressive, often referred to as the devils of the goose world. Here are a few pics of my babies growing up.








The white geese are 9 week old white Chinese, the brown goslings are 4 week old Africans, and the yellow goslings are 3 week old white Chinese.
