    Is it illegal to own a Canadian Goose?

    What you said is RIDICULOUS. They can be aggressive when protecting their young, as any bird or anyone would be but, they do not lunge and bite. They give a warning to back off. If you do not have the brains to back off, then you deserve a bite. However, we feed Canada Geese regularly and...

    Egg Colors 1

    Egg Colors & More Eggs, Egg Color, Egg Shape & Size We have all probably read about the egg shell colors the various breeds lay but, trying to figure out what shade of brown, for example, that some breeds lay compared to others, is another story. You just cannot be that fussy. Since 5 of my 7...

    poll: are you legal or an outlaw?

    An outlaw. The local ordinance say they are allowed (but not roosters) if the distance from the coop to the surrounding homes is at least 200 feet. None of the homes in my community have that kind of space so why do they even bother saying they are allowed? I believe the distance is less than...

    Rhode Island Red egg color

    Quote: The picture you posted looks exactly like a RIR should look, right down to the yellow skin but, perhaps, it was crossed with something else in its past. They are supposed to lay light to medium colored brown eggs, not ivory colored eggs. Mine lays a consistent light to medium brown...

    How Do I Protect Chickens From Owls During Free Range Time?

    Whats the most beautiful chicken breed that is nice nomatter what sex?

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; however, I am extra fond of the Polish breed with the crested head feathers. You still have to choose a favorite color within the breed. Some other beauties are Barred Plymouth Rock and Copper Black Cuckoo Maran. The hens of these look almost identical. The...
