My ducks are doing the thing where they lay their eggs everywhere and change up their nests weekly so I'm thinking about getting some ceramic eggs to encourage them to lay in a few designated areas instead of anywhere that they can dig a hole. I want to get brown or colored ceramic eggs instead...

I have Buffs and Cayugas that are almost a year old and I have some questions about duck broodiness. To preface, I had a pair of Rouens growing up but I don't think my experience with them was typical. The female hatched and drowned two large clutches of ducklings then drowned her drake. Her...

So last week I was sick with a stomach bug and didn't have the energy to do anything more than feed and change waters. Up until then, my 4 Buffs were only laying an egg every other day and my 3 cayugas weren't laying at all so I figured it wouldn't be too bad when I finally got in the coop this...

My 5 month old African gander (Boris) is starting to develop some aggression and it's a little worrying. He attacks all of my other animals except for his ladies which seems to be the norm for geese as far as I've read. I've had to completely seperate the geese from my ducks because they'll all...

I've got African Geese and this is my first year with them. I'm in New Mexico, zone 6b/7a and our nighttime Temps regularly drop below freezing in the winter (lowest I've seen is like -10°F). Currently my geese don't use a shelter. I built them a 3.5 sided straw bale house with a roof and they...

My gosling was favoring one foot so I flipped him over and pulled a few cactus needles out of both of his feet but I noticed this lump on the foot he's favorong as well as some smaller lumps on the webbing of the foot. They're obviously bothering him, he kicks when I start to touch them so I'm...

My goslings are 8 weeks old and basically fully feathered with the exception of a few errant tufts. A few weeks ago I moved them into their run since the nighttime temperatures were high enough for them to sleep outside, it's an aluminum frame covered in chicken wire with a dig guard and inside...

I grew up with chickens and ducks, just got a property with my husband and we just got ducklings and goslings. I have never had goslings before, I have four 8-week-old african goslings, and nine 4-week-old ducklings (a mix of Buff Orpingtons and Cayugas). I don't have any current questions but...
