goslings

Hey everyone! I am currently raising 2 hens, 1 rooster, 4 ducks, 8 three week old chicks, 2 one week old goslings, 2 one week old ducklings, and 4 one week old chicks. I've wanted to raise chickens for years and my boyfriend's coworker sold some older chickens and ducks to us a few months ago...

I have 2 goslings, 2 ducklings, and 4 chicks in a 6ft brooder. They were all a day old when I received them and they are a week old today. There is so much mixed information out there that I was hoping for some advice. At this point, the birds are very attached to each other. I'm pretty sure one...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Been raising geese, ducks and chickens now for close to 10 years. Every year I learn much more than I knew the year before. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? Have well over 40 chickens, 11 geese, and 14 ducks. Try to...

I have a super crazy gander that adopted a 4 week old duckling and gosling (against my will) and he is insanely protective and rude now :barnie He’s usually such a sweetheart, so you can imagine why I’m so irritated with him biting me and hissing 24/7. How long do geese raise their babies for...

This African gosling is approximately 5 weeks old. Most of its diet through the past 4 weeks consists of Mazuri Waterfowl Starter and romaine lettuce but also had a little Purina Flock Raiser Crumbles (non-medicated) and cabbage. It seemed to eat a little of grass in my parent's backyard last...

Read about the disease on chickens. Tried finding whether it can get onto geese but haven't found the answer yet. If it does, what should I do to prevent my geese from getting it?

A Canada goose mom has hatched eggs on the roof of my school. There are 4 fuzzy goslings up there beeping around. They have water (some puddles) but no clear way down and no food. Mom's still around, I think. What would you do? Can goslings jump from a 2nd story roof onto sidewalk?

Hello all, We have 18 day old ducklings (2) and goslings (4). By the time my husband noticed the girl duck wasn’t breathing and she was already gone, and while trying to stimulate her to see if he could possibly save her the boy duck started having labored breathing too. Within 30 minutes both...

I have my 7 chicks and 2 goslings in one large brooder. They are all 4 weeks old, and the biggest issue I've had so far has been the goslings nipping at the chicks tail feathers. The chicks can roost up above the goslings if they want to, and do at night, but when they get nipped they usually...

I haven’t been on BYC for awhile now, but I figured that since I have two Chinese goslings arriving this week (hopefully anyways, my order has already been delayed twice due to problems at the hatchery, first low egg production and then some sort of quarantine. I ordered from Metzer Farms as...

I just set 10 Pilgrim goose eggs in the incubator. Am following @pete55's guide to hatching geese...it worked well for me when I hatched my Chinese goose eggs last year. I'm in an incubating frenzy! It's spring, temps are nice, and eggs are hatching! :jumpy Wish me luck...looking forward to...

Hi there, we are planning on hatching by incubator some of the eggs from our two pair of American Buffs. They are mild tempered and gorgeous, and each pair has hatched and raised a gosling (we only let them sit on a couple of eggs). Since it is our first incubator attempt I am leery of...

I've had ducks for several years now, and I finally have the supplies to venture out to other waterfowl! I've been doing research, and I'm completely set on Pilgrim Geese. The only problem is it's too late to find any babies. I'm very experienced in raising baby ducks through the cold winter...

I have a new pair of French Toulouse Goslings, about 1.5 weeks old. My male, Henry, has a large, hard lump on his right side close to his upper chest/lower neck. It feels like a cyst, but I’m not sure. He’s eating and drinking water. He’s not as active as his partner, Eloise. I’m going to the...

Hi, I’m jenna. I’m new to having waterfowl and soon chickens. My oldest goose is Jeffery he is only 9 weeks, and my youngest is Puddles he’s about 3 weeks. My older duck Sammy is about 9 weeks, younger is Daffy about 3 weeks. I got the first pair when they were first hatched, same with the...

ISO a couple embden goslings in Lewis County!! Please please me I really want to add some to my flock.

Can geese live with chickens? I have goslings and I am letting them roam around the area while someone is watching them. I also am free-ranging chickens. I am not afraid of the chickens attacking the goslings, but is there any danger of the geese/chickens carrying a virus that is dangerous for...

I'm posting this for a friend. She's got GREAT birds and I want to buy them for myself but no more birds until our old house sells. Rock Creek, OH. Local pick up only. https://ashtabula.craigslist.org/grd/d/goslings-bantam-polish-chicks/6578395338.html Goslings: 1 Pilgrim male hatched 4/28 -...
