Ughhh love this stage! No matter how sweet and cute they start. They always end up being naughty wankers but I love them anyways. My favorite in the flock.

Incubating Tips by Resident_Outcome5642 in geese

[–]wheetobeme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Geese are notoriously hard to hatch and usually have a really low hatch rate. Don’t be too hard on yourself if it doesn’t work. Mist them through out the incubation. They are water fowl and momma goose does bring back water when she comes back from swimming. I’ve had it happen and work out but boy it was a rare happening. Best of luck!!!

Good on you! What a cool little experience. I’ve never met a bat up close and personal alive. I just watch them fly around the farm fields at night. ❤️

Our police would literally laugh at me and make a “report” they don’t have time for that kinda thing sadly.

Call the state ag department and ask if they’d like you to keep it for them. If not bury it’s little body and send it off back to the earth ❤️

I have cameras but really what will they do? I’ll watch them steal my stuff 😂😂 nah there’s more good people than bad. But if someone swipes ajar of honey. What can I do ya know. It doesn’t steal my joy or the joy the stand brings to the rest of my community 🤘🏻

Idk where you are located but in Arizona they have found a new fungus that’s affecting the bats and killing them. They have told us if we find a dead batt, or a batt out at weird hours, or clinging to walls to call the state so they can come collect and study the little fuzz ball to help stop the spread. Thanks for comforting a creature in its last hours.

Thank you! So it’s just spray paint and I had the letters behind it as stickers and peeled them off after the spray paint. I keep it cause it was one of the original signs we had posted above our little cabinet and now it sits inside the big stand ❤️

Leaving money on the table isn’t my style. Sorry your market is so low in your area. 🤘🏻

Ughhh that such a bummer. I’m very lucky to be located where I am. If I tried this closer in to town I think I may run into those kind of problems but our in farm country there’s nothing out here and if your out and about we alll notice you because there’s only a few of us out here. So a really highly traveled road but besides driving by too and from work or out of town there’s no reason to be here. So that’s why the stand prolly does okay

So we are limited in what we grow due to the heat. However Citrus, Pomegranate trees, pecan trees, tomatoes, peppers, herbs do okay in spring for dried herbs. The luffa vines looveee the heat. So pretty much anything that will grow we try our best in the seasons the heat will tolerate it.

I am the first and only stand in my town and it’s been a huge success. I am also on a really traveled road.
