Great pictures Iain!

It's so cute to watch all 3 adults escorting him/her everywhere.....

They did it all by themselves. :-) 2 proud mamas and a daddy

Thank you both for the info!

I've just had my two Toulouse a few months and was worried when they began to fly but they don't seem to want to go too far. Hubby offered to clip their wings, but that just doesn't seem right. Do any of you worry that they'll go too far or just get themselves in trouble? One of mine landed...

NotAFarm, It sounds like you have a great system worked out! I tried doing something like this last year and I wasn't really happy with it. About seed: I have just a few hens and 3 geese. I feed organic mash. Would just organic seeds from my co-op be good to use? They are sold for human...

This would be good Jessi8..It would keep the ground squirrels out too...but a little pricey for my 3 'pets'....:-(
