Oh yea, they were livestock to me but I wasn't selling them. So they did have a dollar value i just wasnt sure what that was, but I wound up deciding that being able to move quickly was more important than making back my investment in them, and I found a family runs a good homestead and doesn't...

Don't be. I really enjoyed my farm but the reason that I need to sell and move back to the city is because I found the ability to help people in an awesome way. To me that's worth more than my farm.

I wound up finding a nice family that takes care of their animals and just offering them everything for free.

A couple of them are probably worth showing but I never considered it. Handsome and don't appear to be mixed. I'm very motivated to get rid of them, I need to sell the farm and move to the suburbs so they gotta go as soon as possible. I just never considered selling them before so I really...

What's a fair price for a flock of 7 one and a half year old embdens? I need to sell the farm and move closer to the city so I gotta get rid of them.

I got some about 7 week old white broad breasted and some 3 week naragansetts and none of them want to roost at night. I've tried shelving, branches you name it they seem to just want to lay on the floor and crap on themselves. Is this normal or am I giving them the wrong roosts?

Ok I moved them to the 4x4 brooder that I was going to put them in next week. Got a heat lamp and a brinsea heater on one side. That should give them a good gradient. It sure seems like when ever I search for information instead of asking on a forum the search engines always guide me to...

Everything I read about poults was that they need the brooder between 95 and 100 for the first week? I swear the internet is absolutely the worst.

According to my air thermometer thing 92 on the cool side and 95 in the between the cool side and the heat lamp and 101 under the light.

I got 16 poults that were hatched this Monday. 1 was dead on arrival and 1 wasn't doing well. I gave that one some sugar water and it bounced back and was doing fine but then I woke up to find it dead yesterday morning. This morning I found 2 more dead and now there's another one that keeps...

I've tried that lol there is no sneaking up on my geese and they are active all night long. The only realistic way to catch any of them is to trick them into a corner and then wrestle with them. Its funny because I have them pretty well trained but they are the nastiest animals that I own for...

Well, it's almost entirely gone today so I guess that proves it wasn't an infection. Guess I will have to steal her eggs from her and force her to give up for the year.

I haven't checked if they are fertile. And I'm not sure how long she's been sitting. My geese have been playing musical nests so I stopped paying attention after a while. I will see if I can catch her without chasing her to exhaustion and check for bites.

Alright thanks. The feather loss is from mating I think but it does look more severe than normal I'm not sure if it's because of the swelling making it look worse or if she's actually missing more feathers. I just went to give her a more thorough examination but as soon as I got close she...

One of my geese has been sitting on a nest in the woods so I've been just letting her do her thing. She just came out to mingle with the flock and her head looks swollen. She seems to be fine otherwise, not hearing any wierd breathing sounds. Thoughts?

Ah that answers my follow up question about if an open top brooder would be stupid. Thanks.

How high can poults fly by 3-4 weeks?

Thanks

I've had these poults for a couple days now and they were eating fine out of my hand but now they just peck at the game starter and spit it out. It looks like they've wasted most of the feed in their feeder this way too. Should I try giving them soaked crumbles or would that be a bad idea?

Didn't have the chance to. The gosling died after 3 days. It looks like either the goose or the gander sat on him. So far 3 eggs hatched and 3 dead goslings.
