Do your birds eat the rats/mice or do you have a heavy population? With rat poison near if a mouse consumed it and the birds eat it could lead to issues.
I've noticed that a lot of the time coccidosis can kinda be sneaky and then all the sudden you have one really sick bird that won't...
Man going into winter with babies is brave!
I wait till about March unless someone requests and pays me up front LOL.
Goslings I'm hoping to have 30/40 hatch outs at least to pay for my new projects come spring :)
I really do like the blue boy. He's a bit of a psycho, but I sorted through all the bad hens and screwy tailed boys to get somewhere good I think.
I'm in the middle of goose prepping right now though, so next spring is going to be chaos I feel already lol.
@wrathsfarm How do you feel about them now? Some are slightly molting as its COLD now lol. But I'm really liking this little girl on the bottom and of course the boys.
Hi Queenie.
I only do colors for Sebbies right now. There are multiple breeders, but finding quality is hard yes. Sourcing is tough too as generally speaking they only have one hatch time (feb->june).
Happy Daze Ranch in OH I've dealt with personally. The owner does goslings and grow outs in...
Geese don't really peck for food they do "gnaw", but I'd have a tough time thinking they would go for it. I have some larger holes for buckets I've made. I also have open larger black plastic bowls on the ground.
I made my own pvc fittings for some lowes buckets under 15 dollars for 3 of them...
Yes the Lundt line is one of the best. If you have facebook there is a ton of groups to help you out.
If you can get on his books then I'd say bar none he's got top notch quality.
If you also need help while they are growing with anything please feel free to reach out. There is a lot of...
I normally don't recommend as I've gotten flack before.
I personally have gotten stock from Happy Daze Ranch in OH twice now, and the owner is 10/10.
His white stock I personally visited and met on the ranch and they come from good quality in my opinion. I did not add any white stock to mine...
Yeah and a lot of people retired/exited the breed totally.
I've been trying to build up my stock, but there is only one lady who is 3 hours I know carries them in NJ. And then some smaller breeding stocks still. I drove 10+ to OH to pick up my last babies.
Will have to keep an eye out as I...
From me getting into breeding this last year.
There are few and far between quality breeders. Be careful and do your research.
I'm in upstate NY and one of two that do colors (Grey/Buff/Blue/SB). White is the preferred for show quality, and you can order some from hatcheries. My best quality...
