I would love to shake you hand. I just read your post and WOW , I am going to kick some Goose Butt. I just posted a thread Attacked this morning. You have given me hope. I am not scared of my geese. Just didn't know how far to take it. Now I do . Thanks

I told my Mother she should not have swung her purse at them. Cause I was the one that got bit. I did get the last laugh when my Mother was leaving , the geese saw her and chased her to the car .Wings flapping and all that honking . That little 71 year old women can move . She jumped in the...

Well my four have a 1/4 acre pond all to themselves and 3 acres to roam on. They still go to the chicken coop every night to sleep. They stand at the door making a racket until I let them in at night. They get along with the chickens fine. They have bitten my German Shepherd in the Butt several...

I have 4 White Chinese Geese, I do not know the sex yet they are about 5 months old now. Yesterday my Mother got scared of them when they were honking at her , she swung her purse at them before I could stop her. That just made them all go into attack mode. I was the one who got attacked two...

About one week ago I noticed that one of my EE hen's had started getting lost from the flock. I checked her out and one of her eyes was a little red and puffy. I brought her in the basement and I noticed she could not find her water or the food. Only when I would tap at the bowl would she...

Thanks I found an article on rye neck and read it , it had a help full tip on vitamins also, I started it on that and also giving electrolytes I will have to set a timer during the night to get this little one better. I hope it works. The other chick had its little butt covered with the dried...

I had two chicks hatch yesterday afternoon. One is up and walking and pecking and acting normal. Then the other one is peeping and try's to walk but it acts like it's head is to heavy for it's little body. It also wants to curl it's head down to it's chest and want's to just sleep. Is this...

I am look for a Crevecoeur Rooster, I live in North Georgia. If anyone close to North Georgia has one for sale . Please respond .

I have started doing the deep litter method so my girl's won't get cold feet this winter. I have an open air coop with all four sides open. So we plan on covering the outside of the coop with tin roofing so we can have hinges on it to have the sides open on a nice sunny day. My chickens are...

I have 20 pullets and when they lay the first egg it is small has a yolk , it is just miniature. Then the next one is bigger and then normal size. I know when another pullet has started laying by the small egg in the nesting box.

When I first got into chickens this past may 2013 , I purchased 6 buff orpington , 6 black jersey giants, 6 Golden laced Wyandotte.. They are all two weeks apart in age so they were put into the coop at two week intervals. I found that the first group that was in the coop ran the roost . Each...

This morning I went out to feed our girl's , I checked the nest boxes and my heart just jumped with joy. Our first egg, small but formed nice and good hard shell. Not sure which one laid the egg , so I put our game camera in the coop . I hope to see which one laid the egg, or who will lay the...
