    Embden Goose Pair Price Ideas

    I don't know anything about pricing an adult pair. But, I just ordered some female goslings from a hatchery, and the Embdens were almost $50 at both Metzer and McMurray.

    Asha's Lamb-Along Spring 2026

    Lamb "hatching" takes me back to my childhood and the wonder of seeing those wobbly little critters take their first steps into the world. I also remember that our ewes (too) often chose the coldest, windiest, snowiest days to drop lambs with no regard for being INSIDE the shed, not out in the...

    Glad to see you back! Sorry you're still suffering from the first ablation; hope you bounce back better this time. It was 66 degrees Monday, and there is a possibility of snow today -- the unpredictability is tiring. I've been doing some "spring cleaning" in the garage and located the bag of...

    Congrats on the first goose egg! Just think how many more you will eventually have after the arrival of those goslings in May! My guests will have to sit on old chairs. The patio sets looked great online; not so much in person at the auction. However, I made one was tremendous score -- a box...

    The crazy weather is continuing. Yesterday morning, I failed to notice that between the first time the dogs went out and about an hour later, the temperature had dropped enough that a thin layer of ice had glazed the ramp. The dogs were in a hurry, and it was all I could do to stay upright. At...

    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

    No matter what the calendar says, it feels like spring in Iowa. All but the smallest remnants of the last snowstorm have melted. It's 62 degrees and blades of grass are peeking out. There's green showing up through the mulch in the new garlic bed, too. Three robins were bopping around one of the...

    Congrats on the Beast. A husband who learns a lesson? Hmm, I suppose it's possible. 🤔 I have a list of gosling names that has changed about as often as I've waffled on how many, what kind and when. "When" was decided for me as March 30 is the earliest that all three were available. And, being...

    Okay, Lisa, you scared me into taking action. I placed an order with Murray McMurray for an African, an Embden and a Toulouse gosling, all females. They are scheduled to arrive the week of March 30. I can't get company for Gussie too soon!! I probably won't add ducklings this spring. Too many...

    Eva’s Friends

    I'm glad you found your keys. I lose things all the time. I frequently put something down wherever I'm working and don't realize until much later that it's missing. Saturday, I frantically searched the house, yard and garage for a pair of black gloves that I ALWAYS put on a shelf by the back...

    Sorry about your rooster; I agree it's better if they go fast. Now, I'm nervous for Isabel's coop mates' wellbeing. All the chickens were dewormed and dusted, twice, for mites last fall. She was only about 5, so I am baffled. Someone gave me a few walking onions several years ago and those...

    Chickens, cats and dogs sounds like a great family to me! Congrats on your (almost) first year of chickens and welcome to BYC!

    It's not funny that the tractor is stuck, but I did smile a bit at your admission that you are willing to let the Beast rot. I've felt that way about a few inanimate objects, too. :D Nearly all of the snow has melted and a good deal of the mud has dried up. But, there's a chance of rain today...

    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

    Gussie has decided I am her new BFF; I think the relationship is working better for her than for me. She has decided it's nice for me to stroke her back and pet her, bring her treats and fill her stock tank for baths on unseasonably warm days. (I do like to watch her joyfulness at splashing...

    goose attached to my roosters

    I'm very sorry your girl is missing her sister and can't find a new "best friend." My American Buff lost her sister in December. They were inseparable from the day I brought them home almost 8 years ago. When she's loose in the yard (only under my strict supervision) Gussie has decided to...

    My first chicks!

    You've already been directed to some great advice and information. Here's my 2 cents: Ideally, you have a brooder already set up and warming. Be prepared for adorable, tiny creatures who will make unimaginably big messes. Keep them warm and dry, handle them as often as possible (from their...
