Good deal

Have you spoke with your local PO?

He looks like a really friendly guy! And a cute one for sure.

Yes, I have actually gotten them next day one time. Last shipment we got was actually through another hatchery, but they sourced them through Metzer and came from CA facility. Idk if it just so happened they just didn't have the Muscovy or gosslings in the TN one or how that ended up. As the...

It seemed to me they batch process at end of the shipping day, or I've just always been towards the end of the ones they filled on hatch day. I find USPS lacking with tracking info myself. Had one shipment never left the waiting delivery to USPS and was delivered without a single update. But...

I can confirm this. We have a young khaki Campbell male right now. No drake feather, but has got his voice. Already had suspected it as he had a darker head than our female Khaki when they were his age.

We have gotten quite a few at this point from Metzer directly. We have had pretty good experience with them. They did mess up one order where they got our order mixed up with someone else's. They offered to refund or they would send them next hatch, since we wanted what we ordered we let them...

There seems to be a bit mixed thoughts on angel wing. It could just be a bit much protein in the feed. We had a couple girls start getting it, we wrapped their wings for about a week and I added some oats to feed for a few weeks. I used a feed calculator to figure how much oats to drop the...

I wouldn't call Pilgrim Geese common at all. They are listed with the livestock conservancy as a Threatened breed. A quick look at hatcheries, the female gosslings go for around $60+.

I try to get mine outside soon as weather is close to brooder temps, without much wind, but I only have going on just a year of experience with them.

Collected 8 today, so everyone still isn't laying yet.

I will also agree, we have now raised 6 Blue Swedish, and looked like your two little ones to start.

I will note I was mistaken, I was thinking they are 4 weeks old this week, after checking the calendar the goslings and Muscovy are 3 weeks today, and our little hatchlings are actually just over 4 weeks now. So maybe that is part of my issues.

Yeah, was hoping to not need to pick more neutral names. Although if that is what we end up doing we will. We do have one we have named Fussy. It has from the start been a little fussy one, so seems appropriate haha. It is the most friendly of them, and seems to enjoy human company a bit...

I was leaning towards female with the one you mentioned. 2 are definitely a bit smaller than the others, but the other markers don't stand out at least to me. I could put a caliper on their bills and measure them, but I would be afraid doing that would be stressful and possibly scary for them...
