For your edification... Years ago some friends decided to get a pair of geese. They were excellent pets until they matured and made it their life's work to kill everything in sight.- other animals, small children, large adults and anything else that moved. After discovering that the local animal control and wildlife centers wanted nothing to do with domesticated/homicidal geese, they put them in the back of the family station wagon and drove 86 miles to a small lake and released them. Upon arriving back home they were greeted by... the geese. Good luck.
A heater ain't your issue. You don't have enough ventilation so you have cold moist air building up. Rule of thumb is one square foot of vents at least 12 inches above the roost per bird.
As someone that works as a Chicken farmer and used to have geese let me give you 2 tips on them: 1.ALAWAYS keep the geese and chickens separate as geese carry illneses that can kill all of the chickens in a matter of days and dont let them use the same water. 2.Geese dont get in or drink water if its dirty so keep it clean as much as you can. I wish you good luck with the chickens and geese.
I used to keep a pair of ducks, and had to clip one of their wings. They could still catch air, but couldn't stay aloft that way. You only have to clip out the middle "flight" feathers, and leave the tips and the base feathers. It's pretty straightforward, if the birds are tame like yours seem to be. A bath towel over the head will do the trick if they're struggling too much. Thanks for the content. Keep up the good work. בס'ד
We tried clipping the wings of our birds a few years ago and it worked on most of them, but a few determined ones just flapped harder and got over the fence anyway. Now we just clip one wing on each bird and it works much better.
It's not really a good idea to do a clip where you don't take off flight feathers. Having a bird that can get off the ground but can't really glide and land gracefully is a bit of a problem.
@@ajorsomething4935 I honestly don't remember what all the feathers are called, but we clip the 'finger' feathers (the ones on the end that animated birds always use as fingers) and then a few extra on the end of the wing. Probably 6 or 8 feathers in total. I've never noticed our birds having an issue when jumping off of something and landing. I will watch for that tomorrow though. Thanks for the heads up!
I see aging wheels or under dunn videos and I cannot click them fast enough. By far my favorite channel. I think everyone has almost forgotten about the bus at this point. Wait.
Heatlamps are useful for keeping the birbs warm, the ceramic kind they use for reptiles or something, heck, even a traditional lightbulb or two painted black (as not to disturb their sleeping) would work nice to keep them warm... :)
In my country, there is a neat trick we use to keeps the geese in place, it did not need a cage at all. Put ropes/strings around an area, at their chest height. They will not cross it or cant cross it. If want to use mesh as their cage, do it just their chest height, will get the same result. But the rope/string looks a bit cooler.
It's great to see that you've recovered your flock and even expanded it after everything horrible that happened. I love seeing the birds whenever you show them
I have no interest whatsoever in chickens or any kind of birds... Yet I am delighted with every flock update and chicken related video this automotive channel uploads! 😂
@@WatanabeNoTsuna. that is the sign you are a great youtuber with talent. You can drastically interchange between content variety and still have an audience love every video even when its not to their specific interest

My wife took us from 0 chickens to 40 chickens in about 6 months. It's been a mad dash to build coops and get them ready for winter. Our Bard rock's are the friendliest birds in our flock as well. I don't know if it was the TSC setting they started in, or just a natural temperament. If you're having a bunch of problems with loss to predators, I would suggest a livestock guardian dog. We have an anatolian shepherd that watches over the chickens and we haven't had any loss from predators, nor even seen them on the property. Looking forward to seeing the new coop and your ideas for easy maintenance.
Aging wheels is definitely my favourite bird channel. Not that I watch any other bird channels. But if I did, I know I'd not enjoy them more than this one. :)
I give ours back the old eggshells to help with the significant calcium needs of egg production. Oyster shells finely crushed work too and are a good excuse for a beach walk!
A 2 ft high kiddie pool would work for pond sunk 1 ft into ground. Pump and filter to keep clean would be helpful keeping birds clean. I'm a bird lover, I got a budgie.
Cool. I live in a city where none of this is possible, but one day I’ll have a shop and land to do this stuff. Watching you live your life fills my cup.
We use an Oase Biosmart 10000 filter with a UV sterilizer and a couple cheapo pre filter boxes for our duck pond. Not the cheapest solution but it works incredibly well it drastically improves the smell and water clarity. Still doesn't filter out everything, and we probably will need to drain, clean a re-fill the pond every few years or so.
We ordered 10 chicks for my daughters birthday Nov 11th. All laying hens. Just a variety of leghorn, Easter eggers, golden stars, etc. I just cleared the shop out so I can build a mobile coop.
This reminds me of the yard full of birds we had when i was a kid. Bantams, ducks, geese... The gander was a scary beast, especially if you got between him and his girls.
Well, that was a change of pace, anyway, for your heating needs for the chicken coup you could try silicone heating mats / pads like they use for home brew ( beer ) or carbon fibre silicon heating cable, all available on Aliexpress.
My father cut a ford mondeo fuel tank in half and used it as a pool for our ducks, however we have not dug it in the groud because its easier to change the water if it just sits there
A friend of mine owns a farm that has a couple hundred free range chickens. During feeding time, they come running down the hill and gather for food. If you're in their way, you start to think you might be in their food chain. Remember that scene in Jurassic Park 2 with all those little dinos? Same thing...
As a farm kid ... "guard geese" are no joke! I'd never voluntarily have geese around me ever again. Maybe yours are tame and friendly to people but I remember getting nipped by geese we had on the farm and they're just vicious - they grab, pinch, and twist. If they managed to get a good hold on you, they start shaking back and forth like a terrier. You learn quickly to always wear jeans - there is no such thing as "shorts weather" when those honking demons are trying to rip the skin off your legs!
Guard geese is a life goal for me. But I need to be in more of a rural setting. Chickens and ducks are way more fun than watching TV. We got a lavender orpington this year. Neat looking bird.
"Chicken Math" is real. We started with six. We are down to 21 from a peak of 27. Applies to coops, runs, tractors, feeders, and all the other infrastructure.
We just got a house with an acre of land, and I'm fairly sure this is a preview to our future ;) I hope you'll share a video when you figure out how to keep the pond from being stanky!
To be fowl... I just have to leave a poultry comment like a Goose has to defend itself. I'm glad to see you not chickening out from sharing with us, your honking fine gobble gobble content. I hope that your fine flock remains perfectly ducky! Good luck on making them a coop Deville. Hopefully, no one has cringed so hard that they turned into an egg. And like that possible gander... no, I'm not sorry. 🤣🤣🤣
Finally an update from my favorite automotive/carpenting/poultry channel
Just needs to add a cattle hoof/horse hoof vet aspect. Those are pretty relaxing
This is the content I want! RIP Birb.
spot on description
Yes. Absolutely. I'm only disappointed about the lack of needlepoint advice on the channel here.
As of yet.
More like this is an automotive/poultry channel while Under Dunn is a carpentry/poultry channel.
"We nicknamed them Hank and Peggy."

I think thats why most people raise them for poultry, not love and affection. Murder them before they murder you.
you have to raise them from egg together with some chicken eggs. don't just buy a goose, it won't work that way imo
I see they were not aware that Geese are edible. It solves many problems, including what's for dinner.
@@atrifle8364 this is the way.
Dumping your problem animals on somebody else is illegal for a reason.
Really looking forward to the next coop build.
You should put up a birb webcam. The birbcam.

Yes this
Yes, freezing cold isn't a problem with sufficient ventilation. But you need to avoid drafts.
Fun to see someone who is passionate about their animals, so wholesome.
Maybe get a pet goat next, they are extremely cuddly as well.
