Funny 😆

"The American Poultry Association's American Standard of Perfection states that Roman tufted geese should be pure white, but some strains may have gray or buff feathers. Goslings may also have some gray feathers, but they often molt these out during their first year. The "spot" (pied) gene and...

To clarify I only lock them at night (8-12 hours depending on time of year) then they roam a larger area with poultry net during the day

So there might be some auto sexing happening? I don’t know what genes they have. They were both Craigslist finds but I do think the Roman Tufted is pure bred. I might have to google around

Personally I find water fowl to be far sturdier than chickens in all aspects. I have not had a parasite issue in 3 years but I do move mine periodically

Thanks 😊

She’s the white one up front. I think it’s fascinating that the tufts poofier on the babies that have them

I have a mobile goose coop I use for mine and then use electric poultry netting for the day area. If you plan on keeping them there all day I agree it will get pooped up pretty fast especially as they grow. Mine is made from an old truck topper and I have to move it weekly with 2 adult geese to...

Is there an age that is better to check? I read somewhere that it was hard to tell from vent sexing at this stage but obviously I’m no expert. Pic for fun

see, you have so much love in your life

ummm yeah, its totally self service..... 😂

I will kiss your Cayuga.. anytime.:bow

I have wondered if this is possible with ducks, you should keep us posted with how it turns out? I think ducks are probably a wee bit smarter than chickens and harder to fool

even if you dont get what you want, your ducks will thank me... :lol:

ha ha, you also have a way with ducks... just sayin...

You should get goats if you want affection... mine are ALL over me ALL the time :D
