Update on my Canada goslings! They are well and beautiful! Both appear to be female, as the breeder promised! They are well behaved mischievous dinosaurs (just as they should be lol) here are some pics! One breeder who went dormant for a short time actually started selling eggs again this year...
There are breeders selling swan cygnets for $400 each. If you are still considering swans , look me up on FB (@ pet-goose pretty-bird) & I'll get you in touch with some of the breeders I know!
This information is not completely correct! FEMALE HYBRIDS between 2 genus are always infertile! Based on a study done, not too long ago, males are NOT always serious and may sometimes fertile, even if they have low fertility, but some may have the ability to reproduce. I'll try to find the...
I posted a thread titles something like "I found legal Canada goose breeders" a while back. It has links to the breeders where I got my legal Canada geese from. I have 2 Canada geese , 1 cackling and 1 hybrid Canada x swan gander & all the required permits. I hope this helps.
It's a federal offence to take migratory birds from the wild and domesticate them. Even if you find a abandoned gosling, the law requires you to contact a wildlife rehabilitator and hand it over. This includes every state in the USA. I hope this helps clarify. There are some gray areas some...
I posted a thread titled ( I FOUND LEGAL CANADA GOOSE BREEDERS IN THE USA) where I shared info from a few breeders I found this year! They may have more for sale this coming season! Hope this helps :)
Interesting. Based on what I have read, all female hybrids between different goose geniuses are infertile, but not all males are . So some males can still be fertile. My Canada x Sean gander hybrid is a male so I'm hoping he will be fertile! I'm trying to provide him with both female Canada...
I did find a study not long ago that suggested that some males will still be fertile that are swan goose x Canada goose hybrids but females are always sterile.
I have a 3.5 yo, 9lbs hybrid gander with labored breathing, who WILL NOT take antibiotics orally! I have tried! I need help with the proper injection dose, how often and how long, for tylan 50 injectable PLEASE! Also, what size needle for a gander, when injecting tylan 50? Id trust myself to...
Where/how do you learn how to inject geese with antibiotics. I know the dosing and what medication to use! But with a gander who has figured out how to regurgitate the meds and it SUPER PICKY about taste, I am wondering, how/where one learns how to inject your geese, without hurting them? What...
I only posted because my 11yo daughter is hoping and praying that pox has the gene lol. I told her it was likely too early, but I'd try haha. I'll post more pics in a week. Cross your fingers and feathers for her pls lol
Ty for your input! It seems to happen when my white (leg horn) rooster mates with a black frizzle or a dark gray hen (not sure what her breed is. ) It has happened twice now. The other one is older and has way more black spots, including her beak, feet and several spots on her feathers. I can...
These babies are our little hybrids : Wishbone and Pox ! Pox is the smaller/older one, Wishbone is the larger/younger chick!
The smaller baby is about 5 bordering 6 days old and the bigger one is a day younger. Mum is a Black Bantam Cochin Frizzle and we think dad was our White Leghorn Barn Mix...
Sorry, I didn't answer your earlier question: no, I haven't seen any mites on them. I did recently have to treat our barn cat for fleas and we do have chiggers and fleas on this property. I am trying to find a spray that is safe to use around the birds, to treat the yard. (Without poisoning it)
Over the past 2 months he started panting and breathing heavy. @Goosebaby has been helping me. I have used wormer on him as I first thought it was worms (gapeworm), and simultaneously put him through a broad spectrum oral antibiotic. He went from lethargic, to almost normal. I assumed he was...
