I live in a small town in Florida called Hernando. My love of chickens all started when a co-worker gave me one of her RIR laying hens... I guess Sassy (RIR) wasn't getting along with the other girls so she came to live with me. Well we know how chicken math works... One, turned to Three...
I have a pair of African Geese, Young but you can tell the gender of them already. I am not looking to auction or sell them. I will gladly give you this pair in exchange for a 50 pound bag of layer pellets. No shipping must pick up in Hernando, FL.
Thank you Dwag you always have the answer and i appreciate it so much! I was going to buy the vaccine for my cochins who are on the property so they dont get it. Can my geese get this too? They are closer to the standard chickens by about 100 ft or so.
Oh Thank Goodness, I just sat here and cried to my husband... Beating myself up for building the coop near a wood part of my property because it gave Shade during part of the day. Well that wooded area is also mosquito infected.
I thought I was going to have to Cull all of them!
I then just...
That does look like it!!! Just I have a worse case then those pictures!
Okay... Now I need to find out how to fix it or if they will all have to be put down
Yes they came from Ideal but all were healthy until now. I have cochins on the property too but they have no signs of it. Just the one's that share this one coop and run.
I have owned pet chickens for years and have never had a problem until now.... My babies are 6 months old, they have a nice large chicken coop and a huge enclosed run. I noticed a couple weeks ago some black markings on a few of their combs, I thought maybe they scrapped them on the fence or...
No I dont have a scale but can grab one. I agree they need to be locked up at night , we do have some foxes and raccoons in the area. They come running when I am out side to see me, but if I try to reach down to pet them they try to get away from me. Everyone keeps asking me , Why geese? LOL...
I will have to try to grow some grass for them, We live in a very sandy area of florida... The weeds have no problems but grass seems to be hard... I will try some grass seed and hopefully the geese won't eat the seeds like the chickens would.
I have come accustomed to watching the geese out...
My neighbor gave me her geese about a month ago and I am a first time owner of geese.. I own lots of chickens but never a goose. At first I tried to put them in with my chickens but they started attacking the geese, so I put them in my fenced in yard which is mostly dirt and weeds and they...
An Update:
Both Black cochins appear to look the exact same and I feel they are pullets. My youngest one's are 16 weeks, and I only have one that is crowing with a big comb. All of my whites have no combs and are not crowing, some have more color but they are screaming pullet. I got very...
