Thanks - I've got mine crossed too. Ceinwyn is a Welsh name, did you know that already? I looked it up for you, it means blessed and beautiful! They are lovely geese - really gentle.

HI, thanks for answering. None of them has hatched. It's 32 days since she started sitting properly, and about a week before that that she was laying and just keeping them warm at night. I'm just unsure now whether any are going to hatch but don't want to take them away too soon. She's a Brecon...

My goose has been sitting on her eggs now for 31 days. They are too thick to candle, and I don't like to take them out from under her to keep doing this - I don't want to disturb them. Four of the eggs are really heavy, one is really light. I'm beginning to think that maybe none of them is...

Hi, wsdareme I love your white chicken. Have you considered that it might have albinism? Got no idea if this happens in chickens, but that's how she looks to me - like an albino Black Copper Maran? Especially if it's from a reputable breeder who's certain they just gave you BCMs?

I've found this a really positive thread, thank you. I think I was panicking a bit because my cockerels are all reaching adolescence at the same time, but the descriptions here of the different ways they sort it out were really helpful. Happily, we have lots of space, so I think we will keep...

HI, TJ,. I was really glad to see your post! if you have Backyard chickens, it's not necessarily all about meat and eggs, you get fond of them too. We have three cockerels, one seems to have collected all the hens, and the other two are just at a bit of a loose end, but we are really fond of...

Thanks, Chickens really.

sorry for the delay in the reply - christmas, etc! no, they don't free range. They have an inside part and an outside part. Although the outside part is ok during the day, it's not secure enough to leave them out there all night - when night time predators are much more confident. My problem is...

This is my problem too. My cream legbars are laying in my bantams' coop - but I know it's them because the eggs are blue! I'm going to try the suggestion of putting their eggs back into their own nest box to see if this encourages them back.

Hi, Two Crows, and thank you for answering my question - at least now I know they aren't the only quail to do this. I will start having a go at training them - they like mealworms, so I will try using these. Hester.

I have seven quail which we keep in a house with an inside and an outside section. During the day, the quail happily go in and out from the hutch into their run, but come night time, they all choose to roost outside - just settle down on the grass. I have to go round and pick them all up to put...
