So I got another pair of geese today and was told the female is a brown Chinese goose but to me she looks more like an African goose. The only thing that makes me unsure if she is an African goose is the fact that she is a little smaller than the male who is a white Chinese goose, aren’t African...

I bought four geese from someone who claimed the geese were pomeranian geese several months ago. Then a few days ago I bought 3 geese from someone who claimed the geese were Toulouse Geese, and they said they were from a hatchery so I’m pretty sure that they are Toulouse geese. However upon...

I have some geese penned up in runs if I let them free range so they can enjoy the grasses growing on the property will they run away or fly away? I have 10 acres but some of the perimeter of the property is not fenced, the geese’s home pen is near the center of the property but I’m worried they...

I’m incubating quail eggs right now and having a horrific hatch rate, most of the chicks are pipping and never unzipping, or unzipping and never hatching, or hatching and then dying because they’re feet are all curled up and deformed for some reason. Of the chicks that have hatched HALF had...

So I’ve now moved two sets of quail eggs into my Hatcher, in the first set 7 hatched out of about 12 eggs, 2 pipped but never hatched, and 1 was fully developed and never pipped. In the second batch it’s the end of day 18 now and only one out of 12 has hatched, and I don’t see signs of pipping...

I have about 20 quail eggs in my hatching incubator rn, I moved them to a separate incubator for hatching, I candled all the eggs before moving them and more than 80% showed signs of full development, very few looked undeveloped. Well now it’s day 17 and they’ve been in the Hatcher for two days...

Ok so I know I’ve posted the same general questions a lot but I have OCD SO I’m gonna make sure I make the right decisions lmao. What are American Buff geese like? Are they quiet? Also how many eggs per year do they lay assuming I take the eggs away for incubation, and at what age do they start...

I have 9 female Muscovy ducks with one drakes and not even ONE of them will sit on their eggs for any amount of time at all. There seems to be 3 or 4 nests now in total, one has 16 eggs, another has 13, and the other has 8 eggs, and still NO sitting on eggs at all. I’m getting really worried...

I was thinking of getting either geese or guinea fowl to live in my backyard area, which has neighbors relatively close by and I was wondering are guinea fowl actually quieter than geese? That’s how it seems based on videos I’ve seen. If I get geese I only want a pair or trio. Are African geese...

So I noticed that a lot of people have talked about the differences between Muscovy ducks and mallard derived ducks because they are two species but I haven’t seen anyone saying much about the differences between swan goose derived goose breeds and greylag derived goose breeds. Since they’re two...

Hi so I have two ameraucana roosters right now that are about 3 months old, one of them doesn’t hardly crow at all with the collar, then again he didn’t crow much before I put it on, and the other is still crowing somewhat loudly. I think the loudness of his crow is lessened a little, but not...

Hello there so I’m thinking of adding one more type of poultry to my poultry breeding project and I mainly wanted to know which of the following types of poultry will sell the easiest/best is it geese, turkeys, pekin/Cayuga/khaki Campbell ducks, or guinea fowl? Also I have a fairly small yard...

Hi so I recently bought 51 jumbo quail eggs from a hatchery and only 21 hatched, and then three died shortly after hatching because of having deformed feet. In the first stage of hatching everything was going fine, I had raised the humidity to about 65% on day 14 and it was steady there on day...
