    #6 & #11 have sadly stopped developing. But all the rest are in there and cooking. I'll move them to lockdown today, and the show should begin shortly :)

    Trying to give meds

    yeah every bird is different, I had one that was inside for a month one time and as she got better it was harder and harder to get pills down as she knew what was coming. So quicker is always better at least imo.

    American Buff Laying question

    I would set them every 7 days at max (personally), other guides will say max 14. I just set in batches of 6 or so. Pointy end down in a tray or case is fine. Just making sure it can't roll around. Also I would rotate them gradually everyday like a hen would do when they come in. There is a...

    Trying to give meds

    Um for pills, I typically will put my finger in for them to bite on (yes it hurts), but then I'll put it in for them to chew and make sure they have water on hand. typically they don't like the pill taste as its chalky for melox/amox. I'm not sure if others have had much success, but I do this...

    American Buff Laying question

    Personally I pull till I want to sit what I have.

But one thing is certain the goose will stop laying when she wants, and will sit if/when...

    Geese egg exchange forums??

    I know I just had a conversation that someone in Western NY had a pretty good breeder. I'll ask her to give me that information. I'm not sure if you are near there but the poms/cotton patch are really hard to find.

    Sooo I added in 13 more last night. 2 might be late quitters but I believe 17/19 are viable. I'm going to give them another week before pulling them out. I also added in some geese eggs (sebbies).

    When will she lay?

    Just an FYI. If you have dense straw in bedding do check DEEP in that straw. They can put it deep in there. Ask me how I know well you see my little girl nat decided to dig 1 feet into the pine shavings below the straw and lay an egg lol.

    New to geese- Sebastopol Egg Laying

    Since they lay a low amount I personally take all eggs and incubate for a week to see development. I do not crack them as I've had some early layers have fertile eggs! Sometimes the girls will lay 6/7, and if you don't pull the eggs daily they will become broody and stop laying. I'd say the...
