I have six geese. Three are ganders and three are females. However, I have a trio and a pair. The low ranking gander is only tolerated at a distance. If he is penned with the flock, they will pull his feathers and leave him bleeding. I'm considering culling him, but wondered if three years old...

While I was out of state and someone else was minding the farm, I lost BOTH of my Penciled Runner drakes. I've got two PR ducks and two mixed runners with no drake. Anyone? I'm in NW Indiana but will drive.

I bought this Humidaire 4 years ago and went to WI to get it. You need a 4 foot door to bring this inside. Hubby said that I could put it inside his heated shop. I'm still waiting for his heated shop. This fires right up, turner works, and what else can I say except it's a Humidaire! Looking for...

So, it's been over 10 years since I've raised CC for sale. I've been raising them for home consumption, along with hatching and selling poults and turkeys. Now that we've moved next to a population center of about 50,000 souls, I'm considering raising for sale again. I did trade for hamburger...

So, 2 years ago, I bought a pair of Buffs. The breeder sexed the adults, I thought, but with time and eggs it became apparent that he sold me two geese. Fortunately, I hatched out a young gander from another bloodline, so I thought it would be OK. Now for the TMI part: The girls are laying...

I've never seen anything like this. Something got into a tractor and killed one of my call ducks. There was a slice across the top of the breast 1" wide and from side to side. No blood. No meat chewed. We were out in the barn a couple of days ago. The was a feral cat, dead, wedged in among...

OK, so I'm making a road trip to get my trio of American Buff geese next week. I'm already planning for next year. I'm thinking that leaving the egg to be incubated naturally for a week, and then into the 'bator, would help my hatch rate. I don't want to fight the geese after they've started...

I've got a small start in American Buffs, but now have found some Dewlap goslings for sale. However, you can't mix the Toulouse with other breeds? Just curious as to why you picked the breeds you have.

I was able to get some eggs from Seth down in S IN, but would like to be able to get some unrelated eggs or goslings. Anyone else have any in IN or eastern IL?

******* All ducklings are SOLD. Thank you.

Here is the situation. I purchased a purebred Anatolian Sheperd female puppy back in November. I asked for the shyest pup in the litter, but the gal met me half-way, so I have no idea if my instructions were followed. Since then, the pup has developed the habit of chasing the sheep she's...

I bought a pair of Pekins last fall that were 2011 hatch. The drake was gimpy. I didn't notice it until we were loading the birds. I got another drake from my sister, as I wasn't sure this fellow could/would breed. Well, I've never seen him do the deed, although this spring he decided to keep...

I got this egg from an Ebay seller, who I've not heard from since. This was supposed to be LF Light Sussex. There's no way in the world it's light Sussex, or anything else I'm familiar with.... Notice the crest? What IS it? http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n246/judyv46122/photo.jpg

I've got a big metal Brower that I found through a friend. It's a still air incubator, so I'm thinking of using it for duck eggs. I've got duck eggs started in my Marsh Roll-X, but don't have duck grids, and it's really tough to keep the humidity up where it belongs. Any thoughts about whether...

I'm in Indiana....Would like to try some Buff Geese. (no tufts)

All right, so I bought some eggs off Ebay. They are supposed to be Light Sussex. The eggs were different sizes when I got them, but hey, it could be..... Now they are hatching. I'm expecting yellow chicks, but so far I have two yellow chicks, and two chicks that look like Partridge coloring...

I had posted an ad from Crigslist for those interested in acquiring swan cygnets, but a moderator thought otherwise. It was not my ad, nor did I stand to profit from it. I posted it as an act of kindness. Good luck to those looking for swans.

I was In Rural King yesterday, and trolled through the chick section. They had Cornish Cross for $1.39! I don't have my Whizbang together yet, but if they had not been sold out, I would have bought some!

I set 12 call duck eggs on Friday morning. This evening I candled some of the light ones. I could have sworn I saw the start of veins on one. How early have you found growth?

Has anyone ever had fertile eggs in the Fall? I have BEI hatched from this Spring, and one pair of Whites that are laying now. When I let them out in the mornings to the "pond" it's like a Roman orgy in there! It's enough to make an old lady blush! I have nine eggs right now. I hate to...
