I got 6 day old Silkies at the auction yesterday. I have never had white or buff. Is it hard to tell the buff day olds from the white day olds? I think I have one white with five buffs but can't say for sure. The (what I think) are yellowish with buff colored wings. Do those sound like...

Whenever I clean out my nest boxes and put new hay in there they are usually the first ones to run over, look around and get in.. What they heck? They always do this and I am wondering why? Are they just being really nosy or are they making sure all the new change is fine for their hens?

I got a 12 week old little girl yesterday for the kids. She is grey squirrel colored and the cutest little thing I have ever seen. Does anyone else have this breed? I hold her and she cuddles right up to me and spreads out in my lap and closes her eyes. We had rabbits growing up but none of...

I have two Pilgrim geese who loved me with all their heart up until this weekend.. They will be one year old in April. This weekend I got down and the gander came over to me and bit my arm and kept biting. The female saw him doing it and did the same. This happened a couple times back to...

This is my first time with geese. I got some last spring so this April they will be turning one year old. When should I start to see some eggs? Any ideas?

So our ground is covered in snow. Besides their grain what else should I be feeding them this time of year?

I have a pair of Pilgrims. I love them dearly but everyone is deathly afraid of them.. They are fine with dh and now even my kids are scared of them. I don't think they would actually bite anyone unless they were reached out at or provoked.. I guess I can't say for sure but I think their...

There is freezing rain here in Maine today. Should I put them in their house or will they be fine outside? My mind tells me they are fine but my heart is telling me to put them in. Help pretty please.

Something chewed a hole in our chicken house. (it's only plywood) Not a pretty house by any means.. Over the past couple days something chewed a hole in the bottom of it. I am thinking a rat. I don't think a mouse would need to fit in a hole like that since the place is not tight by any...

We have fat back left over from our pigs.. Would it be ok to feed to the chickens? How often should it be given to them if it's ok to feed?

What do you all use to keep your dogs ears clean? I use this stuff from the vet's office but I am curious if there is something otc I can also use?

I am wondering how bored they get when we have snow? Mine just have a kiddy sized pool so I am wondering what's going to happen when it snows? They won't be able to graze anymore. Do your geese mostly stay in their house or do they go out and wander around in the snow?

So has anyone ever thought about instead of a "Beware of Dog" sign to get a "Beware of Geese" sign.. The UPS man came the other day and let's just say his drop off my package was quick.

I can't for the life of me get on there. Anyone else?

The Dove is not and adult yet. Not a young one either. The neighbor's cat was after her and I rescued her out of the street. When I brought her in the house I looked her over and noticed an ingrown feather on her neck. It was infected. I took the tweezers and pulled it out gently. Then I...

Do geese only mate in the spring when the girls are getting ready to lay their eggs?

I have a goose and a gander who are four months old. They are Pilgrim geese and are great with the me, my hubby and our kids. They like the kids next door but chase my nephew. Of course he is the only person who runs from them. Today my mom was out back with me while I was filling their pool...

My goose has a saggy under carriage. She was hatched at the beginning and the saggyness is getting bigger. Is this something that only females get. My gander seems to have it a bit but not as bad. We went to the fair this weekend and there was goose that had such a sag going on it was...

My gander often sleeps standing up with one leg tucked in. He lets his mate sleep laying down and seems to be more aware of the surroundings. Is this a common thing for a male goose to do while the female sleeps? This is my first time with geese and all I keep thinking is that he has a sore...
