I think you're very wise ordering from Holderread's, as we haven't had much luck with local commercial breeders - there's been genetic problems with each batch. The local vet thinks there may be brooder heat/humidity calibration issues going on. Anyhow...<br /><br />Glad you're enjoying East Texas! We moved to the Hill Country in 2007, and we love it. d.a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10701833441665984965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591163563166655461.post-47865832536492355512012-09-16T23:31:50.365-05:002012-09-16T23:31:50.365-05:00I"m so glad I found this site!

I will soon be adopting two juvenile Grey Dewlap Toulouse ganders, who were rescued from an owner no longer able to care for her animals. I already have ten Welsh Harlequins that I raised from ducklings I got this spring (ordered from Holderread's). I am about to send four extra drakes off to freezer camp, and keep the best one for breeding. We also have eight horses, two donkeys, two dogs and one cat. We live in very rural East Texas, and I am loving it. Moved here three years ago to help out my aging parents, and I'm having a ball!Lightning T Farmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591163563166655461.post-52510763555544306452012-02-06T13:47:39.653-06:002012-02-06T13:47:39.653-06:00Thanks for the breed info for Emma, I'll look ...Thanks for the breed info for Emma, I'll look it up... and thanks for stopping by!

I'm a fan from now on.<br />A little detail:<br />Emma might not be a Perinea Giant but a Portuguese breed called Serra da Estrela. A very unusual rare breed that is hard to find out of Portugal (or England where they also have many). At least that's what I think from the picture I saw.<br />Find your site searching for Geese cradle nests and I really liked the project. Good luck for your egg production.<br />I already subscribed, so I shall visit you more often from now on.<br />Kito GrovaKito Grovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09123630208158412687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591163563166655461.post-53070022044298246702011-12-31T18:36:19.581-06:002011-12-31T18:36:19.581-06:00@prieta.com - congrats on the eggs!

It's why I'm in such awe of geese. Domestic geese have had some of the wild/cunning bred out of the them, but they're still utterly amazing.d.a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10701833441665984965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591163563166655461.post-44623898056788536852011-12-18T08:17:01.839-06:002011-12-18T08:17:01.839-06:00The life force burns strongly in geese.

But spring seems to be the worst for bringing toddlers down there to 'feed the ducks' (some parents are a bit confused.) Between the agression and the mounds of poop... it's more fun standing on the bridge above and watching all those parents with white tennis shoes.
