not sure where to post this; what are a pair of just over 1 year old white chinese geese worth? thank you

I scrambled a goose egg (my first one)and the white seemed a bit "rubbery" and yolk was pretty "thick"; is this normal?

I have 2 White Chinese geese. always together but this morning one missing. Long story short I found her in the barn sitting as if she was injured; I rolled her over to ck. but she ran off and I found an egg, her first. Will she return and sit and lay more and hopefully hatch them? main...

I have 3 White Pekins, 7 wks. old and 3 White Chinese Geese 3 wks. old. The geese try to get close to the ducks, the ducks run and the geese chase them and bite at them; is this normal? I tried to pen them up together at night but the ducks seemed terrified of the geese. Will they get used to...

I have 7 hens, no rooster; one hen stays on nest. should I go out and get a rooster, force her off nest, get eggs and let her start again; or will she start sitting again?

do ducks and/or geese need a place to "roost" at night like chickens? thank you

I had posted about my White Leghorns laying eggs but not in nest boxes. Someone suggested leaving them locked in coop (they usually free range) for a day or 2; I did that and let them out about 4 pm as they are done laying by then and they went 9 for 9 on eggs AND all eggs were in nest boxes...

I free range my chickens on 2 acres; they never leave my property. They never go behind the barn which is brushy undergrowth about knee high. I lost 3 the other day and found 2 piles of feathers behind barn, no bones, no feet, no heads, nothing but feathers. Any idea what did this? Thanks

I live in south Alabama; it is warming up, I guess "spring has sprung". I have 6 hens, 1 rooster. One of the hens (1 year old) is getting on top of my pump house and continually scratching at the corrugated metal roof and constantly clucking & purring. I put some hay up there but she ignores...

I cannot believe they are only 9 weeks old. The cockerel is starting to crow and it is hilarious; he sounds like he needs oiling!

anyone know what kind this is? It is 9 weeks old. When I ordered from Murray&McMurray this was the "mystery chicken". Thanks for the help.

I just picked up my chicks from the PO this morning. I was surprised at how small the box was but I guess I didn't realize how small the new chicks would be/are. They are all eating and drinking and seem healthy. My "first time chickens" so I am excited to see them grow and eventually start...

How tall does the fence around the chickens run need to be to keep them in? will they fly over a 5 ft. fence? also, if I let them "free range" will they stay close to coop? I have hog wire fence (opening is approx. 5inches x 5 inches) around my 2 acres but afraid they may get through into...

Just joined up here. I guess I am just a retired old man with plenty of time on my hands so I am thinking about getting into some chickens. I am sure I will have some questions soon.
