Has anyone made their own geese feeder? What do you use to feed your geese?

Because of the 100 degree temps, I've only completed 10 feet of the coop. I will add on another 10 feet in Oct. or Nov, when it cools off. Last night was their first not in the their coop. They were spending their nights in the guinea coop and they all got along great. I know they'll need their...

I have a Giant Dewlap Toulouse that will be 7weeks old on Tuesday. Two toes on one foot are crooked. Is there anything I can do for it? I have 3 other Dewlap Toulouse that are fine.

Hi everyone. Does anyone have any ideas what to put on the lip of a kiddie pool. My geese slip on the edges of the kiddie pool and I'm afraid they will injure their legs.

Are the PVC pipe feeders with a Y at the bottom, efficient for geese? I know they run back and forth, eat a little and then drink. Will that cause the feed to get wet and cake to the bottom?

The nest box will be rectangular. It will be framed with 2x4's and ALL sides, top and bottom will be 1/4" hardware cloth. I need help with the dimensions. How deep and how tall should it be for the Giant Toulouse? My geese are only 3 weeks old, and they could use the rectangular box as added...

I put the goslings outside in a chicken tractor. I posted some pix in the geese section. Now they can dunk to their little hearts desire. LOL

Oh my, what do I do now. I'm working on the geese coop and hopefully it will be finished in 2 weeks. After going over everything in my mind, I decided to put the goslings outside in a chicken tractor that I had built for my baby Guinea Fowl. They grow so fast and they needed more room. Plus...

I don't understand it, but the duck seems fine now. She's still in her pen and loves the warm water that I give her every 2 hrs. She likes sitting in it too. She's alert, actually sat down to rest and quacked at her playmates. Big improvement. Now if only I talked duck talk and found out what...

I have a hen about 9 mos old. She went into her pen along with the other 8 ducks on Thrusday evening. All 9 ducks (3 cayauga and 6 Hybrids, same age, all hens) were fine. Friday morning she could not walk. She takes a couple of steps and falls down. She can not sit. She stands like a statue. She...

someone mentioned that ducks can be kept for 6 months. I've looked thru the sites and the most I've seen is 2 months. Anyone else know? Maybe it was a typo error on the 6 months.

I've put an ad in the local paper, and also on a local internet service. No one is responging to duck eggs. I've put them in for $2.50 a dz and $4.00 for 2 dz. My refrigerator's full. How long can I keep these eggs? Also, any suggestions on selling them. I don't have a car. I rent a car one day...

I live in No. Fl and have an opened pen for my ducks. It has a roof on it for the rain. The ducks free range all day and are put into their pen at night for saftey. I want to protect them from the winter winds, (winter is fairly mild here). Do you think a 50 gal Storage Bin WITHOUT the lid...

Hi everyone, So many suggest sand in the run. What kind a sand? There's play sand, mason and concrete. I live in Northern Fl and the ground is a mix of sand and dirt, (I think). I have an open run with a tarp over it. The run is 8x20x6ft high. The duck share the run with the guineas, they have...
