We have a Pilgrim gander that could use a new home. We have too many ganders. He is not to breed standards so he can't be shown (too much gray in his coloration) but I really don't want to put him in the freezer. I would prefer he go to a place with a pond and other geese but if he ends up in...

Hanks has been living with only chickens since we ate his girlfriends for Thanksgiving and Christmas. So you can only imagine how fast he blew up when I sat the first girl inside the pen with him. The funny thing is, I think she was even more randy than he was. I sat her on the ground just...

I bought 8 Pilgrims this past spring. 6 males and 2 females. That ratio is a bit off but I got them out of the barn they were living in and brought them home to a free range with a pond lifestyle. Four of the ganders (all brothers) need to find a new home before breeding season so I'm...

My Light Brahma rooster, about 8 months old, has suddenly developed droopy wings. I saw my geese doing this when we inadvertently gave them too much protein but I have not ever seen a chicken do this. They just kinda drag the ground. He seems fine. Eating and drinking. But he can't get his...

I defy you to not find these things adorable. My boy wants a pig but I don't want a big one that can tear up my fence. Then I found some of these on Craig's List so I started reading about them and found this..... http://www.mijulianapig.com/

We got some hen turkeys for our Tom, Hanks, to keep him from raping the ducks and chickens. Well, once their feet started getting fat it occurred to me they were not meant for pet yard birds. I guess they're the Broad Breasted Whites. One has pet bird personality because she loves to stand...

I'm sure this has been discussed but I still have problems searching this forum. So I'll just have to risk annoying people by asking again. I got 8 Pilgrim goslings yesterday. We got them home and put them in the pool yard for their first outdoors on grass experience. It was a challenge...

I had my Cayuga and 4 mystery ducklings (TSC said they were pekins but we don't think so) playing in the bathtub. I had just enough water in the tub that they could swim. They are about a month old now. They are just barely showing signs of feather growth. I stayed with them since they're...

None of my waterfowl are old enough to release onto our pond yet. Our eventual flock should consist of Pilgrim Geese and hopefully Cotton Patch Geese. Then there will be Cayugas, Khakis, Rouens and Pekins. Earlier this week a pair of Canada Geese arrived and it appears they are a pair that...

I have one that is 2 days old now and the second one is 1 day old. 10 eggs to go but none pipping yet. First one is named Poinduxter and is currently napping on me so I can work on the bonding process. Will have to work on more names. Anyone know off the top of their heads how old Cayugas...

My Cayugas are starting to join us here in this world. I have one that started pipping this morning and one that is just starting. My wife handles the hatching of all of our birds but can't log on right now and asked me to get help from y'all. Question 1: What can she do to raise the...

I am looking around at different hatcheries for different types of birds, comparing prices, comparing guarantees, and general policies. The differences are startling and frankly a little overwhelming. But just a couple of questions maybe someone here can answer. 1. I am trying to find some...

After reading a while, I finally decided to join. My wife is already a member here; GaMarans. I am working on building my own little flock separate from hers. So I am hoping people here can point me to the best places to get the various birds I want.
