Is it likely an opossum or raccoon when you find broken shells around the yard? We thought we might have one so we set a trap with a couple of eggs at the back and they were laying next to the trap in the morning, trap still set . This is the kind where they would have to go in and put a little...

I'm hoping to muscle my way through an omelette in a month or two since my preggy diet calls for 2 eggs a day...mercy. Thanks for the tips! I certainly couldn't starve them of food and light and chicken joy. (prov. 12:10 A righteous man hath regard for the life of his beast..etc.) But knowing...

I knew it was a long shot. I suppose I envisioned an enthusiastic Navajo chief perusing BYC telling me to shake a leaf at them or something. We're in central Texas and the temps at night have JUST become frigid, 25*F or so. It has really been just like a mild fall type of weather and it's...

Is there a way to get the hens to stop laying for a little while like a month or so? Currently for me the sight of an egg and smell of it cooking makes me retch (weird pregnancy this go around). I understand it's completely ridiculous...giving away and selling aren't an option. Hiding them in...

I just ate one yesterday to my surprise and disgust. The egg was already cooked over easy with salt and cracked pepper...I thought this thing was just a larger pepper chunk...no. It wasn't. Biting into this thing was like chewing on a nut..but not expecting a nut whilst eating eggs is a cruel...

I've found with my little goose, anything new I plant MUST be for her to chew on. She only likes weeds if I pick them and hand feed her. They'll associate more with you instead of chickens because they are...well...smarter. With that comes a ton of poo on the back porch as they try to look for...

Nuts...I've been washing mine with soap. Glad I read this article. >_<

Warrior geese! Excellent!!

Thanks so much!! Do you think the new goose needs to be the same age? Or could I just raise a little one up and they be fine together? Sorry, terribly green here

Could y'all tell me if a goose needs to have a companion of the same breed? I have an American Buff goose who I had just received a week ago from a friend. She's an 'adult' and has had a mate in the past who was killed by wild dogs (a year ago i think?). My friend said the goose would be happier...

Hi All! My family is VERY new to chickens. Our friends are moving to Washington state and gave us their little flock along with some starter things. I'm currently swimming in BYC forums trying to figure out if I'm doing OK with these girls. Day 4 now. We have 3 chickens and a goose. Two...
