A wide assortment of poultry call
Weatherbury Farm home. Without a doubt (as shown at top left), mealtime is their favorite time
of day! Farm guests are invited to help "Farmer Dale" with chores, including feeding Weatherbury's
feathered friends: geese, guineas, chickens and ducks.
Our Araucana chickens over-night in the Weatherbury Farm Chicken Coop (bottom left) -- laying their colorful blue, green and pink eggs in old-fashioned nesting boxes. A favorite chore -- collecting eggs from the chicken coop to their chores!

"This place is for the birds" By Curdwell Master Goose, Weatherbury Farm |
as written for "Weatherbury Moos" September 1997 |
| My name is Curdwell and I am the
master goose at Weatherbury Farm Bed & Breakfast. Simpleton is (at least in my
opinion) the minor goose. We recently had two new goose arrivals at the farm --
Mathilde and Brunhilde. I will pick the most beautiful one as my wife -- and by this time
next year, there might be a whole gaggle of gooses to greet you when you visit the farm. In addition to geese (the most important birds at the farm), there are a number of "lesser" breeds of birds. Our Indian Runner Ducks are land ducks that run instead of waddling. I have appointed myself their drill sergeant. Simpleton is in charge of the wood ducks. We also have guineas. Recently one of them had a whole bunch of keets (that's guinea for baby guineas). They are very cute and follow their mother everywhere. There is also a small flock of bantam chickens. The young whipper-snappers are up at the break of day, to loudly greet each day (and wake me up!). When you visit, please remember that the following phrases are politically goose incorrect: "Silly goose", "Cook one's goose". "Goose bumps" (unless used positively) and "Goose egg." |
