Thank you. I was looking at the Brinsea one's but I was unsure how they were for geese eggs. I will look at the sticky.

What brand makes a good incubator for goose eggs? I'm not looking for anything really large, just maybe 8-10 eggs. Do you use a separate hatcher? What has given you the best success? Thanks

We keep a very small flock for our private use so it won't be a hardship to keep them on when they are done laying. When that time comes we will build another coop and yard for the new flock and let the old girls earn their keep by managing the compost and stuff like that. If we ran a large...

You will get a better response if you post this in the geese forum. Short answer: to be sure who is who you will need to either vent sex them or do DNA testing.

My geese, girls and boy alike do not appear to like small children but are fine with adults. When my farrier was here last he brought his son who is around three or four and they did not like him at all. He was perfectly behaved but right at their level. I guess that they think anything their...

Yes, every new tree that we plant gets its own chicken wire protective girdle right away.

A typical day for my geese involves roaming the property eating their favorite grasses and weeds with occasional stops at the food bowl for some flockraiser. Other than regular naps, they are on the move all day long, in all weather. Mine don't like extras other than a little bit of apple, some...

I am so happy for Honky!

My ducks change their egg laying area on a regular basis. They are currently on their 'deep in the bushes' routine that requires a run half way down the pony pasture to get to every morning when I let them out of their house. Pretty soon they will move back up to laying in the baby's breath, and...

The eggs gave her the runs.

If you have never eaten duck eggs, try some before you get any females. If I would have done that I would have gotten all drakes instead of ducks. No one in my family likes the eggs, the smell of them cooking makes me gag and my daughter wasn't impressed with the baking results. Now we have a...

I was thinking this too. Maybe you could just get more drakes and have a bachelor flock?

My ducks have been laying for a year now and no one has taken a break. I get soft shelled eggs from one of the runners, I think she may just be defective because she lays them routinely. My ducks have both kinds of oyster shell 24/7, they forage all day, have free choice flockraiser. Everyone is...

Post #100 I mistakenly said moderator when it was actually posted by an Administrator. Read the post, it is quite clear.

Hmm, nothing popped out but I may not have been as firm as I need to be. The suspected boy is a bit undersized in general, would that make a difference?

Per the moderator, you can be disqualified for submitting more than two pictures. There are a lot of wonderful pictures being submitted it would be a shame if some of them didn't get to the voting stage.

a gander penis. For obvious reasons I am afraid to google it. I tried to vent sex my two 6 month old geese today and I am not sure what I am looking at. I used one of my for sure female geese for comparison and I think my boy is a boy but I can't be positive. If anyone happens to have a photo I...

One of my girls, who has gone through a complete molt, did not get her grey feathers back. The other one is still molting so I don't know yet if she is going to lose her grey feathers permanently or not. Honky doesn't remind me of an embden though, to me he looks like a cross with...

Thanks Miss Lydia! We've been super busy getting ready for some sheep I haven't had time to post in a while.

I think I got it. Entry number two:
