I imagine. I would like to trim back their diet to more grass but until we have them separated from our chickens thats not happening lol. Their also huge carb hogs. They see any sort of bread or pasta they go nuts. Its another reason I'm stunned by how much height Gizzy keeps clearing lol

Partridge in a pear tree meet goose in a apple tree XD 8 feet is crazy! We live on a hill and we do have a apple tree thats lower. Hoping Gizzy doesnt become a goose in a apple tree lol

Crazy. We don't have a big enough pond nearby by we would have an canada geese to have near ours. Gizzy could probably do a half mile if she tried tbh lol She only stops because our gander Gus is a toulouse whose to fat to clear 2 feet so he starts calling for her and freaking out because shes...

I became aware this year that Geese can infact jump. Atleast 2 feet considering our buff american goose Gizzy cleared a baby gate to terrorize a broody hen who we let hatch 2 of her goose eggs. We always knew Gizzy could clear some heights. Shes nearly hit the side of our house and nearly...

Their run is all sand and dirt. And yeah its pretty wet here currently. We had some pretty good rain.

So we sold 2 goslings today that were hatched by a broody hen and the person mentioned there was mites in the straw. Last week I checked most of the birds for mites and didn't see anything that looked like the pictures I've seen. My mom is saying to treat the coop with DE but personally I don't...

Picture from yesterday's situation where little miss Gizzy stole the gosling. Funny but annoying. I don't know how she got in there. The lid was properly on the night before lol. Gus and Gizzy got put in their new pen for the day. They were not happy but when it came time to get them back into...

I feel a bit guilty lol. I waited until we got back from getting some groceries to remove the other gosling from the broody and she seemed to keep looking for it or something to sit on. She was up for a bit but whenever I was checking for eggs she would come in and act like she was looking for...

So... Very weird situation this morning. Today would be lock down day for the broody's eggs. I go out to feed and move our geese to the half finished goose pen we did yesterday. We got all the fencing up and a pond filled and its got alot more shade than the chicken run. Well I look inside the...

Weathers warming up and flowers blooming. Some of our hens are looking bare on their backs. But I'm suspecting more of rooster and geese damage than mites.. Were working on getting a goose pen built so it should help. Their run is almost all dirt and sand and they have some ankle breaking holes...

I know. Its sad.

Unfortunately the gosling passed sometime last night. Maybe there was something wrong with it considering it was smaller.

The fourth gosling didn't make the night. It did look smaller so perhaps there was something wrong with it.

Okay so far: Batch 1 out of eight eggs none made it to lockdown Batch 2 out of six eggs 4 hatched and the other two which were suspected to be dead before lockdown seem to be dead. I candled them after we took the fourth gosling out and didn't see any movement or veining. To confirm I left them...

It was about 2 hours after yesterday. Forgot to update XD It seems a little smaller than the others. We left it in the incubator all day and all night because it still seemed weak. But this morning it was walking around chewing on wires.

Thank you! My mom woke me up at 7:30am because the gosling that was in there was biting at the one inside the egg and then started nibbling on the incubator wires so after a few hours we made the decision to pull it and in doing so I cracked a thin line around most of the exterior of the egg...

It started pipping yesterday at the top of the egg. Today its made a large enough hole to poke its bill out. But its been about six hours since. We can see its breathing and theres another gosling in there thats drying so it has a little friend to bump into it. I've seen some people say 3 hours...

I guess its a surprise whether I go out and find an egg until probably june then lol Shes at 22 and I heard her breed Buff Americans usually lay up to 25 so maybe shell stop by June but who knows lol

Gizzy laid another egg today. The girl is up to 22 eggs this year x.x Should I say it? Whats 1 more egg? Lol A 3rd gosling has hatched out and we suspect the other might as well. But the final candling had me worried about the last 2 in the lockdown so probably in a few days if they don't pip...

So last night I put the second gosling in with the first despite the other eggs having pipped. There just isn't enough room for both of them to hatch plus the 2nd gosling to remain in there. I made sure to spray water inside and not linger with the lid open. My mom woke me up saying she was...
