7 chickens, 8 ducks, and now 4 geese. I can always move the geese to a different section of the property (have about 2.1 acres) if they need more grazing grass. Will see how it goes I guess
Hello,
I've recently obtained 4 goslings that I'm going to keep with my chickens and ducks on about 1/2 acre that they free range all day. Currently the chicken and duck feed is free-choice in some hanging feeders near their coops.
I'd like the geese to primarily live off pasture. We have...
In the future I can just leave them in for longer, I think this time I was just panicking about the splayed leg issue because of how many splits I was watching this 1 hour old quail do. So far this quail is walking normally now so I think I avoided splayed leg
Thanks all. So far I think I avoided splayed leg. The one I took out last night is very strong now and walking.
I had 13 in the incubator, only 4 hatched. I candled the remaining and confirmed no more development, so I cut them open and threw them out. I'd say 4 / 13 is a success as my first...

Ever since I opened the incubator to move the baby quail, I haven't seen any major movements in the other eggs :/. Worried I shrink wrapped them. Have been continually topping off water for an hour and managed to increase humidity to 64%. I think I need to just go to sleep and hope that there...
That's what I read too :( I already opened it and moved the chick to the brooder. Will just leave the others alone. I was just freaking out. Can't believe i didn't think to put non-slip stuff down
Well I took her out and put her in the brooder, she was doing way too many splits trying to stand and it was just freaking me out. The humidity went from 60 -> 40 in that 5 seconds but has climbed back up.

I'm kind of freaking out, I'm on my second attempt of quail hatching (first attempt nothing hatched) and my first quail has officially hatched. About 1 hour ago. It has been trying to stand for an hour but just keeps slipping. The floor of the incubator is just this dumb plastic flooring and I...
