Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

I know, I want them!

But I want goslings too

Draw straws??

 

[minihorse927]

Hmmmm, I feel like you want the goslings more.
Didn't you hear, EE's aren't a breed.

But that's interesting. I've got all that on my farm property too, so any of those would work for me. Cept I'd probably not want to free range SHs. Maybe not even the flowers. I should probably just get some mutts.

if you want when you're bators are empty I can send you over some Easter Eggers for shipping cost. I never said they were a breed

those are some gorgeous chickens! I think I'd rather have the geese

I think I'm leaning that way for now. If my darn birds would get off their tails and start laying, I could sell eggs and get both, sigh. Darn freeloaders.

Yea I might do that, they'd be different for me. Or I guess I could just hatch some of my comet eggs.

Or I could just try to find some pullets/hens.

I'll holler at ya, when I let hubby decide.

I'm waiting on my Pomeranian Goose to start laying I want goslings!

Same, I'm waiting impatiently on my Romans. I'm gonna whip up a new nesting box this weekend for them.

Copper sulfate in duck pool water keeps it from going stinky as fast, too...

Guys, is this an internal pip???

No, not yet... close though...

Btw, they can peep before they internal pip...

*warning- duck stump ahead*

Looks good!

I'm glad she's doing better. I'm not sure if you're thinking about trying a prosthetic for her, but if so there's a 3D printing subreddit on reddit and they would probably help you out. I mention it because someone posted about this exact thing, needing a duck foot made for their injured duck, and they had offers of help within the day to make the foot and only charge for materials and shipping
That's what I was thinking too when I saw the pic, just pressing against the membrane.

Hey, can you PM me that link???

Oh man the conversation I just had with someone wanting to buy a tablecloth makes me think we need to be teaching kids their shapes better.

The lady called up, said she wanted a square tablecloth, says 52". So I say okay, 52" by 52" and give her the price. She says no, she wants it 52" by 70". Okay, so, oblong, not square. No, she says, she needs a square. So a 52" square or a 70" square? Nope, 52" by 70" square. So you need an oblong, a rectangle shaped tablecloth?

This went round and round for awhile before I convinced her she did, indeed, need an oblong because 52" by 70" is NOT a square.

Oh lawdy, somebody help me. Egg production is up, and bators are full.

More auctions!! Btw, get some of the flat rate Med and Large boxes... figure out how many you can pack in each size and use those... takes the guesswork outta shipping cost...

My dad texted me this morning. He said he took a dozen eggs to my mom, a dozen to my neighbor, and still has a ton of eggs. Wanted to know what he should do.

I just told him to stick them in cartons and to eat more eggs.

Missed ya...

Holy cow, somebody talks alot.

It wasn't me!!!

I'm not even the top poster on my own thread

Oh, flock...

got my auction eggs picked up from the 24 hour auction. e

You're that close to Walli? She might want my extra Am boy, would you be willing to take him back up with you if she does?

Mind sharing your bath towel?

Looks like Ohiki dustbathing, lol...

Everyone is roosted for the night. I open the nest box for one last egg check and find this!

You said the bators were full!!!

Sounds like a good plan. What about the Delaware eggs?

I've recently lost 3 golden comets, to predators we presume, so I need to replace my free-rangers.

Who has recommendations on best free-range, self sufficient birds?

I have blue eggs I could send you too...
Great foragers...

Well I'm torn currently. I want to order some goslings from Sandhill to add to my Roman Tufted flock since they should be better quality, but I also want a particular breed of chick they have. You can't mix and match and I can't afford to place two orders with them and meet the minimum numbers for shipping.

Getting the chicks would be cheaper, but I really do want those goslings. The goslings are more expensive, but I already have their set up. I'd have to build a new coop if I went with the chicks so they would cost me more in the long run. However, I do already have the geese, and I don't have this breed of chicken and would like to have them. But, I would have no use for the other assorted 18 chicks I'd have to buy so I'd be spending money on birds I don't really want and would have to hope I could sell them off.

I can't decide, darn it! And I want to mail my order out tomorrow whichever way I decide.

Goslings... go for the Erminettes next year, after you have a setup ready for them...
