PS. The coop was a large walk in size 10' x 14' and 6-1/2' high on low end and 8' high on other .

I live in Chicago, and the coop we had used the wavy corregated metal~~~~~~ so there was a lot of air ventilation. It was a good pitch (4/12) running with the ribbing. Overlapping the ends with about 6-8 inches. Gutter on short wall side. Lots of windows for natural light. Sollid wall on one...

In our community farm/garden we have chickens for city folk to experience them. As well as me being a wild birdman that enjoys winged nature.

our rooftop is a 1/2 mile.

They say that ducks, as a rule of thumb, always nest within 300 Ft of water as like a pond, a river, or lake.

And lastly, Todays eggs. The youngsters are beginning to produce eggs (the 2 smaller eggs)

Now I have a nesting mallard duck to watch out for.

The order is messed up.the one with the straw is the last day on the rooftop. Then the one by the emergency area. We crossed a little grassy area before going through the underpass where the tents are. Someone opened their window zipper and the goslings stopped for a quick look. Then we crossed...

Well here are the goslings

well, the goslings are at the big lake Michigan harbour, and now. I have a nesting mallard on 9 eggs. Pictures later. I have to go feed the flock...

do wild goslings count?

The geese have grounded. 6 of the 7 eggs made it. One did not make it out of the egg. They are just too cute. I wait until they get their feathers in so they can tread water, then herd them to the harbor.

I thought so too!!!! It's funny that birds with such hard beaks can look like they have expressions. Her and the dad have accepted me as a flock member. After we moved them to the harbor last year, I would pop in and see them after a few weeks for a couple of months. The goslings would come...

It's hard not to handle these cuties and make them pets... But I will not even try. They need to stay wild so when we march them to the lakefront they will survive without me/us. There are four in the picture and at least two more under momma. There were seven eggs. Last year the same, and all...

update on geese: The goslings are coming!!! When I left the rooftop, four of the eggs had given up the baby geese.

I'm on the North side of Chicago by the big lakefront of lake Michigan. And my chickens are in a rooftop environment.

I find it hard not to be more "close" to a pet type relationship with this couple of geese, but I realize that if they are to stay wild and self-sufficient when its time to walk them to the big lake then I need to be careful on bonding any more than we have already. Last year I went to visit...

I put up some new photos of last years. Goslings.... There are a couple more in my photo albums.
