I Replaced my Canada Geese after the Dog Attack!!! (More Breeding Pens) 

Neighbor stuff can definitely get awkward and frustrating at times. Bottom line is... sometimes neighbors need help from neighbors. Just keep being you brother. Congrats again on 80k well deserved.

Name the new gander Ricky Bobby and name the hen shake and bake 😂

So glad you got more Canadians. I hope they stay safe, and you end up with at least 1 nest this year. The "wild" ducks are amazing. I also hope you get a few more pigeon trapping videos this year! Also, are you putting the turtle trap out this year? So many videos to update 😂.

Nice looking birds! Congratulations on the start of the "wild" flock! Love the videos

Common Jordan spill the beans. I will give a like if you get a Pintail and a widgeon

Regarding the subspecies of canadas you have there, they are a smaller species, and look a bit to my eye like cackling canadas. Both the American Ornithological Union and the British Ornithological Union recently reclassified canada geese into two species: Branta canadensis (canada goose) and Branta hutchinsii (cackling geese). They look a lot alike except that the cacklers are smaller, and have a higher pitched voice. The genetic differences are where the largest difference is. The DNA of the four cackling species are similar to each other, and the DNA of the canada species are similar, but the DNA of the cacklers as a whole and the canadas as a whole, are very different. In spite of how much alike they look, there is as much difference in those two populations as there is between canadas and nene geese. That means they split a long time ago; perhaps as early as the last ice age. That would make sense, since there would at that time have been a physical barrier present which would have separated species west of the Rocky Mountains from those East of the Rockies. These days cacklers and canadas share the same migration and nesting grounds except on the east coast where only canadas are present. As for what yours are, I'm pretty sure that because of their small size tjey are cacklers. The breasts are very light coloured, and there is only one cackler which has that light coloured breast, and that is B. h. hutchinsii (Hutchen's cackling goose). It is the nominative of the cacklers, and also the largest of them. They do migrate through Kansas, but their nesting grounds are far to the north around the arctic circle and points north of that. In recent years there have been a few pairs which have been spotted nesting in the Dakotas and in the Nebraska sandhills. None have been reported nesting as far south as Kansas. The sightings of them nesting from northern Nebraska up through the Dakotas are extremely rare, and usually don't number more than in the low single digits, and many years none are reported. They are definitely still a bird of the far north. When they do nest south of the Canadian border, they don't return year after year like they commonly do up near the arctic circle, or like the other Branta do everywhere else. Both canada geese and cackling canada geese will dump eggs now and then on their way to their nesting grounds. You don't see the eggs often because they get snatched up pretty quickly by egg loving critters of which there are too many to name. Suffice it to say that humans aren't the only ones who like eggs for breakfast. I've heard a lot of people say that these dumped eggs are usually not fertile. I'm also guessing that since your canadas (cacklers) are probably new to the pen that you have them in that they have no interest in setting a clutch yet, even if they are fertile. If you provide them with some nesting material, once they settle down a bit, they might nest, though as you pointed out, it's getting late in the year for that. Still, it isn't late up in the arctic circle, and if their internal clock is set to arctic circle time, there's still a chance that they may yet nest. In future seasons you may want to separate them early in the year (probably in March) until the goslings hatch. They tend to be very territorial at nesting time, but after the babies hatch, all that goes away, and parents will often leave their babies for a short while with a "babysitter" goose and gander. They always come back and pick up the kids, but later they might take a turn at babysitting. In the wild I've seen groups of up to 27 babies in one group, and some ornithologists have records of over 50 of various ages in one group. So privacy while nesting, but togetherness after that. If you want to know if those goose eggs you put under your goose are viable or not, wait for a couple of weeks after you put them under her and then candle them. You might want to candle a good number of her other eggs too in order to determine how far along they are. It would be sad to have a small number of eggs hatch, then to have her abandon the rest because she has a small number which are hatched and need to eat. I don't know if you have an incubator or not, but if you do, and if it's not full, you might want to take some of the least developed, and maybe the two goose eggs too, and put them in the incubator. If you can get all the eggs which are under her to hatch out all at the same time, then you won't lose any (or at least as many) as you would if there are some which are several days/weeks behind due to a later laying date. If you're finding a lot more eggs under that goose than were there when she started to set, it's likely that someone is dumping eggs while she's off the nest to feed and unload the she's been holding onto since the last time she was off the nest. It would be a good idea to mark all the eggs under her with a pencil so you can tell any new ones apart from the ones she's been setting. If she ends up with too many eggs, she may start kicking some out, or some may get buried below the others, where they will die and rot. Rotting eggs under good ones is the most common reason for nest abandonment in waterfowl. Those rotting eggs can also cause your good eggs to get a bacterial infection and then they will also die. I hope that some of this information will be useful, or at least interesting. Best of luck not only with your canadas, but also with all your birds and other stock. Looks like you've got a good setup there, and you might convince me that you're a redneck if you try a little harder, but I need no convincing regarding your good ol' Yankee ingenuity. Thing is, if you get things sparkly new and purpose built, it's going to get rusty and covered with dirt, so why not give it a head start? Do what works and you can save a lot of money. That last bit may be the stupidest and most obvious piece of advice you ever get from anyone, but the intentions are good. I'll be rootin' for ya though.

That aviary section in the pens would be great for the pigeons you have in the barn

So many birds! I love watching and learning. I had dogs get in my show rabbits once. I set up more and better panels and then put multi stranded electric wire around the perimeter. No more problems. It may be an option for you too. Good luck with the Canadian fowl.

Hey Jordan! Another great video! Sorry about all your dog drama… I love watching your channel. You really help to inspire me with my farm. I’m raising Modern Game large n bantam, Atam Ketewa laughing chickens, and have been hatching everything from Bantys, ducks, quail, geese, and a wide variety of different chicks. Best of luck my friend!

Hey, thanks for the cage and nice to meet you

You deserve every single subscriber you have, gonna try to get some quail this weekend

Congratulations on the new honkers. They do look a little different than the last. Maybe a different combination of subspecies in the genetic makeup?

Pens look great. The idea of getting all the different ducks from the goose guy really sounds great also. Just think you can be in that guy's shoes hatching out you own strange wild duck breeds and selling them.

Man I love all of your videos! So pumped about the new pens!

You should paint your cages black, it makes it almost see through and you could see your birds so much better! Love your vids!

Love the videos. I think that the pens are really coming along. Also, how did you and your neighbor fix the problem. 🤔

Congratulations on 80K man you deserve it.

Jordan…beautiful CG!

Congratulations on 80k man. I won't be able to make it to this sale but I'll see you in April..

Great video Jordan I always enjoy watching your videos congratulations on your 80kwell deserved brother 🤙🏼✌🏼

Congratulations on 80K

Love your video brother keep up your video brother. 👍👍

Give yourself a lot of credit. Your not a idiot. Please don’t say that. Everything looks great. You stay so busy. Great video and thanks.

I’m loving videos like this. Keep up the good work ❤

Thanks for sharing. Pens looking nice.

Have you thought about putting up some hot lines around the Canadian Goose Pen at least?

These geese can’t fly ? Are they pinioned (wings clipped)? Just curious. I love watching all your videos. I’m moving to a farm soon and currently collecting some homing racing pigeons.

Please listen to me u need live stock garden dogs they will save ur geese.

The new birds look great!!

I’m glad you now have new Pet Canada geese. How do you acquire these Wild birds?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

congratulations to 80k

how much do you spend in food each month . ball park

Will the Canadas fly away? Really cool birds man congrats.

I love animals

Call him happy

How many ducks and geese you have in your property

Take your time Jordan and do it right I would have painted all the cages 1st so you don't see all that rust on them and all one color so they match. You know what happens when you rush it never comes out the way you want it Lol

For the Canada geese protection, i would run an electric wire on top and bottom of their fence to protect them

Where'd you buy your black outdoor pens

The gooses name is Stine

I just wanted to ask. I have a lot of doves sitting on eggs right now and i have heard you can hatch chicken eggs under them. I want to hatch cochin bantams so eggs arent really pig. Dos anyone have any advice?

And what state is that? If u don't mine

Love the vids

the way the Canada carry themselves is normal for eastern Canada geese

👍👍👍👍

Put some electric fencing around the Canada Goose yard that would keep the dogs out !

If you have to send a bill certified mail so you know he got it.

His name can be max or Jaden

And the same for turkeys

Bruce

put a hot wire on top of the canada pen

It’s a very big in closure you

What are you going to do if it rains no roof

I wonder if you could just “net” “wild” geese

A name could be spruce the goose pls name him spruce

For the goose name Buddy

Maybe u need a guard dog of your own. Great Pyrenees, his dogs wouldn't get to your birds again

I thought a saw a cross breed between a hen and peacock

❤hi

put the geese with the Canadian geese

It's illegal to own canada geese. They are covered not only by Federal law, but also treaty with Canada and Mexico. Therefore, you might not want to advertise it too much that you've got them. It's also not legal to own their eggs or their goslings, which kinda stinks, since wildlife officers all over the country are on the lookout for nests in city parks, and when they find them, they addle the eggs and destroy the nest. Seems to me that if it's okay to destroy the nest and eggs, is should be okay just to let people take them and raise them. The ones which are hanging out in cities and in areas where they were released by state game departments aren't migrating, and really shouldn't be considered migratory waterfowl, and since numbers are rebounding well from where they were a couple of decades ago it seems like a little renegotiating of the treaty and the laws would be in order. But I don't make the laws, so as a matter of advice, it would probably be best to keep it on the QT. I would hate to see you in trouble for something we'd all love to have/do, especially since it's not harming anyone including populations of wild canada geese at this point. That all said, I'd give an arm and a leg for four fertile canada goose eggs. I'm good and envious of your four birds, but I won't let myself covet them too much. Gotta practice self restraint. Which is incredibly hard to do when it comes to waterfowl. For me at least.

Name ur new goose jerry , devil , or mark

Yeah breeding are ok But what keeping the racoons out of chickens and ducks and Geese say yummy yummy They where saying they want some food too lmao They brown geese and edman high breeds the goose by him self is likely hot being all at melt cage wire isn't good poor thing is happy

No offense

I'd keep a trio of guineas penned. Pull eggs and sell juveniles.

The goose name should be beam
