Interesting gosling colourations!
Thought I’d share some pics of the mixed babies, they came from what I can only call a “pot luck” hatch - nest of mixed eggs and no clue who the fathers and mothers are 😅 Was surprised to see one of them has turned out super grey, they have some lovely gradient wing feathers that I wish I got a... -
Devastating bird flu culling
Yep… I’d love for it to just be over anxiousness and overreacting. Either way people will find a way to belittle you sadly - if I put up all the preventative measures and made sure they were super safe someone will call it stupidity, but if my birds died under those safety measures that same... -
Devastating bird flu culling
I’d rather you just leave my post alone, your only responses have been “stop whining I don’t care” and sending me links to pages I’ve already seen. You’re helping nobody and only escalating something that didn’t need to be escalated. If you like arguing, find a debate thread, I’m not here to... -
Devastating bird flu culling
Did you just come here to be snarky and argue with someone for the sake of it? Uk Ravensthorpe and Huddersfield, many wild geese have just been culled - that is not an exaggeration. Many of those wild geese come up onto my land to graze and nest, you’re acting like there’s a zero percent chance... -
Devastating bird flu culling
I’ll have a look into it thank you ❤️💖 It’s really hard to find any kind of poultry care products in the uk for some reason, a lot of it is vet prescription only provided you’re lucky enough to have a vet that stocks it lol Because of where I live it’s hard to prevent wild birds from getting... -
Devastating bird flu culling
Yes. MY AREA is affected. Did you miss that part? Get a grip and read my post again, they’ve just culled a large amount of wild geese that lived here. Your hostility was not needed on this post whatsoever. -
Devastating bird flu culling
Yep absolutely, thank you for your advice. They’ve made it very clear that their only interests are preserving food products and their only actions against bird flu have been culling and culling and culling. They refuse to invest in other options such as vaccinating and looking into treatments... -
Devastating bird flu culling
Hahaha, thank you for this comment - definitely lifted my spirits a bit ❤️🩹 I really might do if it gets worse lol -
Devastating bird flu culling
I’m uk based and live in a beautiful area where I was lucky to be able to watch and interact with many wild geese for years living here. I’ve watched many of them grow up from goslings - however just today I realise that there isn’t a wild goose in sight, I’ve come to find out that they have... -
UK West Yorkshire 2 free mini bantam roosters friendly
Situated in Huddersfield UK, as you can see they are pretty friendly and warm up to you fast if you spend time with them! Rehoming as we’re downsizing flock after our goose hatched some goslings - it’s been pretty easy to rehome chickens on Facebook but nobody wants to take cockerels 🥲 and I...- ElGoose

UK based stores for waterfowl supplements?
Does anyone have any suggestions for uk based websites or stores that stock things like vitamins, supplements, feed and other essentials for geese? I just had a pretty bad experience with a store I won’t name incase it goes against rules, but to give some context I ordered 3 fairly expensive... -
It’s happening again :(
When the new feed arrives I’ll definitely see if I can section them so that they prioritise eating the feed, thank you! -
It’s happening again :(
Do you have any recommendations available in the uk? I do have a Vitamin B solution for birds from Quiko but that’s about it -
It’s happening again :(
the crumb we originally had got mouldy super fast 🥲 so we’re currently waiting on some smallholder baby chick crumbs that said they were also suitable for waterfowl - they have access to a lot of grass currently thankfully as well as lots of lettuce, peas etc. I’m glad that they seem like... -
It’s happening again :(
Last year I hatched 2 goslings, within 2 weeks they both developed issues with walking and passed away and almost seemed like they had never grown This year one of my girls has hatched 3 and just now one of them had a walking issue that was exactly like last year, I’m scared it’s going to be a...
