Thank you very much! I am really excited about getting goose eggs. I wanted to breed the white chines, but after discovering there agressive personality i decided to hang onto her and maybe try a different breed later

Hi Everyone! I have a White Chinese goose that i bought as a sexed gosling from Metzer Farms in early May. Unfortunately, i had to get rid of the male that i got with her because he got very aggresive and killed a chicken. She is now about 8 monthes old, however, the daylight is very limited...

Thanks, guys! My geese are kept where there are no other waterfowl and I have only had chickens before, so it probably wont be a problem. I will give them apple cider vinegar and ask some locals if its a problem.

I read in my waterfowl book that geese do not get intestinal worms like chickens do, but that they get Gizzard Worms, which can be harmful. Is this true? How can I prevent worms in my goslings?

This morning I put my small wire pet cage in the coop with a little water and food. I wanted to leave the floor open wire like you said, but the wires are like 6 inches apart, so I put the tray back in with a little straw. I put Rose in there, because she has been broody for a long time. Tonight...

Hi everyone! I will definitely try this "Broody Buster" cage tonight. I currently have 3 broodies, one of which is taking care of hatchery chicks. The other 2 are both Chanteclers. Rose has been broody for monthes, and Bear went broody back in april. I let Bear sit on some eggs, and 1 hatched...

Thanks.

Hi guys! Ihave 4 one- year-old Red Chantecler hens and 3 of them have gone broody since winter. The 4th is bullied and stays up on the roost most of the day. I let 2 hatch out chicks and the first, Bear, has gone broody agai now, along with Rose. I do not have a rooster anymore, so I cant hatch...

Thanks! I just moved them to the brooder box with the hen. There is three chicks, 2 yellow and one black with a little yellow. It was really nice to see her teach them to drink. She dipped her beak in the water and dropped a little on each of their beaks. There is 3 more eggs that didn't hatch...

Hi everyone! My first chicks finally hatched! There is at least 2 chicks that hatched this morning-2 days later than expected. The hen is sitting on 4 more eggs, hopefully they will hatch.Soooo eggcited!

Hi! No, I don't currently have geese, but I have before, and just love them, far more exciting than chickens. No offense meant. Lol! I actually ordered a pair of White Chinese geese that will be here next month.Yes, we should definatly keep tabs on the clutch. Another one of my Chanteclers has...

Thanks Lady of McCamley!

Hi Everyone! I had not planned on hatching eggs this year, but then 2 of my hens went broody, so I am letting one sit on 8 eggs. Today is day 4. Are the eggs still fertile even though i got rid of the roo over a week before setting eggs? I am so excited! I hope it will work. Any advice? What...

Thanks, Gary and Tim! So if I want better breeders I should get them from someone that specializes?
