He’s had a few good days where I think real progress is being made and then the next morning he’ll be back to wobbly and weak.
Nope, he was totally fine. The limp he did have I attribute to his bumble, but that all cleared up by the time he was back outside.
Before this his droppings were...
Any help is appreciated as I’m at a loss.
Banana Bread was being treated for a bumble, after being in hospital (my mudroom) he was slowly reintroduced back into the flock. His first full day back out with everyone I’m filling water buckets, hear a commotion and see that two males are fighting...
Just a lil update, when I went to grab them they were gone. Someone posted in my towns FB group that one of the local farmers was letting their geese out on the lake, so I’m hoping they were the ones that came and got them. Will be keeping an eye out!
Before I go trying to wrangle a bunch of geese at the local marina that showed up this morning, these are domestic right? The shape of the head and how there isn’t a real paunch in the lobe area gives me pause that *maybe* they could be some kind of greylag hybrid that’s passing through, but I...
Looking to fix my rooster ratio before winter sets in and am interested in larger breeds (brahmas, orpington, wyandotte, etc)
Budget 20 - 50 per hen.
Located outside Ithaca, NY but can travel a ways.
Looking for about five hens, larger breeds (e.g. brahma, cochin, wyandotte, orpington) & close to exhibition quality, minor defects are fine. FB forums aren't showing much. Can travel a bit, just need to even out my roo-to-hen ratio.
Never thought I would say this but I have too many geese lol I have four grey sebastopol hatched end of March looking for new digs. Located in Schuyler county but can travel.
Yep that was after cleaning, most areas had scabbed overnight.The black area has continued to progress, but her energy levels are good so I’ll continue to put ointment on the scabby swollen bits and wait and see for the rest. .
Missed this yesterday when putting everyone up, I’m guessing she got into a fight since she’s normally trying to start them. It looks like the one spike is dying off, anything to do? Or will it be like frostbite and just fall off?
I’m trying to avoid buying a new lawn mower, and hoping that maybe the geese can work off some of that watermelon/kale/frozen peas debt they’ve racked up 😆 They’ll be fenced in sections moved around the property, but up first is the front yard. It’s a group of nine adults and eight babies...
