I bought an emu last spring that was about a month and a half old. Its right leg was turned out a teeny tiny bit and I didn't think anything of it. It got around just fine and was the coolest, tamest, sweetest little guy ever. Would sit in your lap. I fell in love.
Each week I had it the...
I'm gonna join in too. I've had a lot of fun during the NYD hatches in the past. I have 2 bators full right now, but I'll fire up a third one on 12/11/12.
HIs egg wasn't cracked. He had fully hatched with wry neck and couldn't sit up. He laid on his back with his feet in the air and his neck twisted and underneath him. He was a mess. The guy figured he was going to die anyway so he put him in an old feed bag of empty egg shells and eggs that...
Duck Duck says to tell all the BYC goose-lovers, "Honk, honk, honkhonkhonkhonk, honk, honkhonk, honk and honk."
Loosely translated I think that means: "Hi BYCers. Thanks for all the good wishes. I'm loving life."
I'm thinking Duck Duck is a Toulouse because he's losing the black on...
Duck Duck is doing great. He still has a little problem when he drinks. He throws his head onto his back and falls onto his bottom. I guess he'll never be 100%. I've got pics from his first excursion outside....I'll upload 'em in a few days.
I read right here on BYC that it's caused by some sort of a vitamin deficiency in the parent birds. Don't know if that's true or not. Duck Duck hatched from an egg bought at an auction, so no idea on how the parent birds are being raised.
Duck Duck shared a secret with me today and wanted ya'll to hear it too.....He's planning on dropping a huge gosling load of poo on my friend's shoes tomorrow.... LOL
Ha ha, the shirt. I have a few other pics from that same shoot and they're hilarious...that's a saltwater croc and Steve Irwin...
I know my friend has those giant dewlap Toulouse and that's all the geese he has....and are they giants! I don't know if Duck Duck's egg came from them. I know he...
Me too!
I'm glad I was there too. I still can't believe he would dump the little guy in the trash. My friend will be coming over here Friday and I'm going to show Duck Duck to him...I also forgot to ask him what species of gosling Duck Duck is.
Awwwww, Duck Duck gives you a big tweety kiss...
Glad Gimps and the others got a good home and not tossed in the trash after they weren't needed any more.
I was quite shocked that my good friend would simply toss a live animal in the trash and then be so callous about it as if he does it all the time...which I bet he does. If he thought it...
I got Duck Duck this past Sunday (05/13).
This goose hatched with it's head completely twisted upside down. His legs and head twitched uncontrollably and he could not sit up so the breeder threw him away a few days before I visited on Sunday.
We were in his incubation room candling some...
