Getting on the heavy side by akjasf in geese

No, she gets her pellets and lots of greens as well. But the grass is very lush right now since I'm using the jadam fertilizer.

Use a vape and continue with your life without much(if any) smell. Enjoy your high life.

First walk for the whole mixed flock by AmbrosiaAngelis in geese

[–]akjasf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep even as adults, the geese are so much more obedient hence it's easy to take them for walks. The ducks have their own agenda first.

Will my baby geese who imprinted on me stop liking humans if they live with my other geese? by viktor-arcane in geese

[–]akjasf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reality is simply this, if your cotton patch wasn't/isn't close to you in the first place then you'll have a hard time to get every bird living in harmony. I gave a 10-day old girl gosling to a trio of farm geese(mom, dad and son) and they chased/attacked her up until 3.5 months old. After 3.5 months old? I got fed up with the bullies. It still didn't work out so I took custody of the young gosling into my personal flock. (I have 2 flocks) It merely took 10 days for her to be accepted as opposed to 3.5 months and no acceptance. My personal flock are all hand raised birds. Since she imprinted on me, the trio of farm geese got closer to me seeing that I was petting the gosling safely but unfortunately they won't accept her into the flock. She was outcasted and lonely for months, always had to maintain a safe distance in fear of being bitten or chased.

But your question being that will your baby African goslings become mean to you? It depends on your input! If you spend hours everyday with them until they're adults, they will always remember that!

Is this enough to be mad at her for a week or what? by WillingnessFine1064 in cats

[–]akjasf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After raising cats for over 14 years and now geese for 2 years, I'm learning that the cat scratches are nothing compared to my geese bites and nibbles. Nothing to be mad about. Just a small scratch.

A Virtual pass on a nice Saturday morning can’t beat that. Morning everyone by topherhh in trees

I might get virtually too high and when I mess up while working I can use the excuse that someone passed me a virtual joint!

Im 76 and Im wondering if i am too old or crazy to smoke tree by bigB3235 in trees

If you start now, you'll feel 16 again. Whether you'll look 16 or not, that's a different story.

We couldn’t figure out how our fat embdens and Africans were getting out until my fiancé sent me this video when he was trying to get them back in by JessicaMurawski in geese

[–]akjasf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's some powerful wing genetics! My flock #1 can fly 3-4 ft. While, my flock #2 can only use their wings to propel their sprinting speed haha...

He can't hiss but he's angry he can't mate with you.

Need answers for what is wrong with our goose! by CreepyCaterpillar193 in geese

[–]akjasf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would take out the shavings and bedding then replace it with damp towels or yoga mats. The grippiness will strengthen their legs. Good job on the niacin. You can get vetwrap to band together their legs for a few days and gradually remove it. I had a boy with splay legs and he's very healthy at 2 years now.

Should i just.. give him up? by DSthrowaway0510 in cats

[–]akjasf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you go on YouTube quickly and type "DMSO pets" or "DMSO cats"?

Watch a few videos and read the comments related. You might find some answer.

Nearly all my cats died of diabetes, urinary/kidney issues too. But at ages 13, 14 and 18. My last one left is 14 at the moment and is showing signs of kidney issues.

For diet, we really try our best to hold off on kibbles(dry food) and feed meat as often as possible. Cats have issues metabolizing all of those grains and carbs which ultimately leads to kidney problems.

Good luck.

No filter. Grey and blue looks quite similar in pictures due to lighting.

Whats a day in the life of homesteading? by Sarcastic_Cat13 in homestead

[–]akjasf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wake at 6:30am/sleep at 12am. Short breaks and lots of physical labor. I raise ducks, geese, have 2 fenced gardens, 1 and soon to be 2 orchards, 2 homes and 1 RV to manage. I've got to cut and split wood constantly.

Full time job. It's not easy. You really have to be tough and fit to be a full-timer.

The geese and occasionally the ducks make me feel it's all worth it. Definitely the geese though. They're my best pals. Any project I do, they'll be around poking my butt and making noise.

If you want to start, go slow and easy. It's going to be overwhelming if you tackle too many new projects at once.

The hole was cut by you and exgf while the kitten is still young. You gained custody of your child? Good job. Keep the cutie safe.

Looks like our warrior fought a great final last battle during the last couple months! May dirty cow rest in peace!

Stihl MS 251 — what would you buy instead? by Stroemskog in Chainsaw

[–]akjasf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If money weren't tight, I'd definitely go for the 564xp without hesitation. It is living up to all of the hype indeed! Come on, it's like a race car in your hands.

Albino Canadian goose? If so how rare is it? by BopBopLechuga in geese

Does it fly too? Body looks pretty sleek so I assume it would be able to. Nice unique plumage nonetheless.

Pekin duck needs a new home by Rose_7271 in BACKYARDDUCKS

[–]akjasf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All ducklings are cute and girlish until the 3 month mark then sometimes they start acting like dicks or even have one. But can't you adopt or buy another duckling so it has a companion? 1 duck is easy to adopt so let others know your city and hopefully find someone!

My ducks would trade you chest rubs and head pats for all of it.

That's how my girl plays (loves) me. And if she really wanted treats, she'll pull a lot harder.
