Need Advice on Geese laying eggs
Comments (4)I raise swans,this is how I do it,I lay nesting material 3 places that Id like them to use.They pick the one they want,once they make a nest remove other piles.Once to protect her and eggs we put chicken wire to surround her from 3 sides along water so nothing could get in from land.It worked....See Morehatching geese
Comments (2)If you want them to be the tamest possible then you can take them from mom. Just have some one hold her while you snatch up the goslings. You could just take the 1st few to hatch and leave the later hatchlings for her to brood. No Woodies for me this year, I lost the drake. Do you keep them in pairs or 1 drake with 2 ducks? or??...See Moreeggs don't hatch
Comments (2)duh, yeah, that makes perfect sense! do you think it's a permanent isue? I fear it may be. What should I do? Thanks!...See MoreHelp! what to do with hatched toad eggs?!
Comments (5)well, my goldies must like the toad eggs too as none visable in the pond the next day after I took a pailful out of the pond & I know MANY were still left in the pond. No tiny tadpoles in the pond a few days later either but the pailful was swarming with the little critters! I called rescue organizations & they all laughed (!?) & said to call Fish & Game. Well, Fish & Game said to dump the pail of little ones back in the pond for the goldfish to eat!!! I guess I will just let them develop & then place them in the gardens but Fish & Game said birds will eat them when they are small. Oh, now I wish I had not let the eggs hatch as that would have been the most humane thing to do... but now it is too late! A toad is a live creature & guess I may be silly but.. I can't see not trying now to get them to adult stage since I was responsible for letting them hatch! Since toads lay their eggs in ponds, how do they get out when they develop past tadpole stage... jump out? Don't think they could jump out of the pond though as the lip is rather high....See Morehotzcatz
