  • Homestead Poultry Feed Brochure
    PREMIUM QUALITY NUTRITION ® Mankato, MN 56001 www.HomesteadPoultryFeed.com www.facebook.com/homesteadpoultryfeeds W5191 Formulated to Produce Top-Quality Birds DUCKS & GEESE Waterfowl need somewhat less heat than chickens. In their rst week of life, their environment should be heated to 90º F. This temperature can be lowered in ve-degree increments each week until their fth week, after which they are usually ready to live without supplemental heat. Bedding Do not use wood shavings for birds less than two weeks old, as they are more likely to consume the shavings and get blocked up. Try to avoid using slick surfaces like newspapers; if you must use them, spread paper towels over the newspapers for the rst few days. Since they are so unsteady at rst, goslings are prone to a condition called splay-leg, or spraddle legs, so it is important for them to have good footing immediately after hatching. During warm weather, spending some time walking on grass each day can be very good for their legs — plus, they'll begin eating grass. Water A constant supply of fresh water is necessary for ducklings and goslings. For the rst week, a chick waterer works well. After that, however, they are too large to submerge their heads and clean their faces in the water, which all waterfowl must be able to do. ® Avoid using a bowl of water. Here’s why: First, ducklings and goslings may walk in their drinking water and/or leave droppings in it. Second, if they stay wet, they may catch a fatal cold. Provide a waterer that is deep enough for older ducklings and goslings Homestead Poultry Feeds to submerge their heads in but not deep enough for them to get inside or tip over.

  • A Molecular Phylogeny of Anseriformes Based on Mitochondrial DNA Analysis
    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 23 (2002) 339–356 www.academicpress.com A molecular phylogeny of anseriformes based on mitochondrial DNA analysis Carole Donne-Goussee,a Vincent Laudet,b and Catherine Haanni€ a,* a CNRS UMR 5534, Centre de Genetique Moleculaire et Cellulaire, Universite Claude Bernard Lyon 1, 16 rue Raphael Dubois, Ba^t. Mendel, 69622 Villeurbanne Cedex, France b CNRS UMR 5665, Laboratoire de Biologie Moleculaire et Cellulaire, Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon, 45 Allee d’Italie, 69364 Lyon Cedex 07, France Received 5 June 2001; received in revised form 4 December 2001 Abstract To study the phylogenetic relationships among Anseriformes, sequences for the complete mitochondrial control region (CR) were determined from 45 waterfowl representing 24 genera, i.e., half of the existing genera. To confirm the results based on CR analysis we also analyzed representative species based on two mitochondrial protein-coding genes, cytochrome b (cytb) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2). These data allowed us to construct a robust phylogeny of the Anseriformes and to compare it with existing phylogenies based on morphological or molecular data. Chauna and Dendrocygna were identified as early offshoots of the Anseriformes. All the remaining taxa fell into two clades that correspond to the two subfamilies Anatinae and Anserinae. Within Anserinae Branta and Anser cluster together, whereas Coscoroba, Cygnus, and Cereopsis form a relatively weak clade with Cygnus diverging first. Five clades are clearly recognizable among Anatinae: (i) the Anatini with Anas and Lophonetta; (ii) the Aythyini with Aythya and Netta; (iii) the Cairinini with Cairina and Aix; (iv) the Mergini with Mergus, Bucephala, Melanitta, Callonetta, So- materia, and Clangula, and (v) the Tadornini with Tadorna, Chloephaga, and Alopochen.

  • Canada Goose Control
    CANADA GOOSE CONTROL LEGAL AND EFFECTIVE METHODS FOR DEALING WITH NUISANCE CANADA GEESE IN GEORGIA ABOUT THE CANADA GOOSE When sounds of their “honking” fill the air, hunters and wildlife enthusiasts look to the sky in search of Canada geese (Branta canadensis). These remarkable birds have become more common in Georgia, and in some areas they have developed into pests. The Canada goose is extremely adaptable and can live in a variety of locations, from open farmland and rural reservoirs to suburban and urban ponds, parks and developed areas. For this reason, geese are often found in areas heavily used by people. Geese grazing on lawns, golf courses, recreation areas and agricultural fields or leaving behind a collection of feathers or feces in unwanted areas are among the leading complaints the Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division (WRD) receives about geese each year. Although WRD has established a hunting season for Canada geese, these birds can sometimes continue to be a nui- sance in some areas. Despite that, it is important to re- member that Canada geese are a protected species under state and federal law. It is illegal to hunt, kill, sell, purchase or possess Canada geese except according to Georgia's mi- gratory bird regulations. The following guidelines provide legal means to help repel Canada geese. This can be a trial and error process requiring patience and persistence. The best way to prevent issues is to take early action. Suggestions and methods are detailed below. PHYSICAL BARRIERS Because geese usually walk from water to feeding areas, physical barriers are effective tools for solving many nuisance goose problems.
