@Lacy Duckwing Since you said no crochet I'll have to ask my mom to sew them. I cannot use a sewing machine for the life of me lol The sizing might be the more difficult. Half are usually easier to catch. The one who has the worst damage is our runt. Shes thankfully the easiest to catch as...

Over half our girls are bare backed. Still unsure on whether its a mite issue or a mixture of rooster damage and goose damage or all 3 but were taking actions to remedy 2 of the 3. The only issue I can't fix because my mom is kinda attached to him but is our rooster. So I was thinking chicken...

She did amazing! Me and my parents kind of spoiled her by feeding her inside the little blockade I made but she would still come out every few days to have about a 20 minute break. She hatched 2 little goslings. Bad part our goose broke past the barricade and stole 1 but I managed to rescue...

I imagine. I would like to trim back their diet to more grass but until we have them separated from our chickens thats not happening lol. Their also huge carb hogs. They see any sort of bread or pasta they go nuts. Its another reason I'm stunned by how much height Gizzy keeps clearing lol

Partridge in a pear tree meet goose in a apple tree XD 8 feet is crazy! We live on a hill and we do have a apple tree thats lower. Hoping Gizzy doesnt become a goose in a apple tree lol

Crazy. We don't have a big enough pond nearby by we would have an canada geese to have near ours. Gizzy could probably do a half mile if she tried tbh lol She only stops because our gander Gus is a toulouse whose to fat to clear 2 feet so he starts calling for her and freaking out because shes...

I became aware this year that Geese can infact jump. Atleast 2 feet considering our buff american goose Gizzy cleared a baby gate to terrorize a broody hen who we let hatch 2 of her goose eggs. We always knew Gizzy could clear some heights. Shes nearly hit the side of our house and nearly...

Their run is all sand and dirt. And yeah its pretty wet here currently. We had some pretty good rain.

So we sold 2 goslings today that were hatched by a broody hen and the person mentioned there was mites in the straw. Last week I checked most of the birds for mites and didn't see anything that looked like the pictures I've seen. My mom is saying to treat the coop with DE but personally I don't...

Picture from yesterday's situation where little miss Gizzy stole the gosling. Funny but annoying. I don't know how she got in there. The lid was properly on the night before lol. Gus and Gizzy got put in their new pen for the day. They were not happy but when it came time to get them back into...

I feel a bit guilty lol. I waited until we got back from getting some groceries to remove the other gosling from the broody and she seemed to keep looking for it or something to sit on. She was up for a bit but whenever I was checking for eggs she would come in and act like she was looking for...

So... Very weird situation this morning. Today would be lock down day for the broody's eggs. I go out to feed and move our geese to the half finished goose pen we did yesterday. We got all the fencing up and a pond filled and its got alot more shade than the chicken run. Well I look inside the...

Weathers warming up and flowers blooming. Some of our hens are looking bare on their backs. But I'm suspecting more of rooster and geese damage than mites.. Were working on getting a goose pen built so it should help. Their run is almost all dirt and sand and they have some ankle breaking holes...

I know. Its sad.

Unfortunately the gosling passed sometime last night. Maybe there was something wrong with it considering it was smaller.
