    Fox den 20 yards from front door, 70 yards from barn/coop.

    If you gave a Fox Den anywhere within 2 sq miles of you...pen up those chickens. Trap the fox in a live trap and either relocate them or euthanize them. They are a preditor to your chickens. Once they find them they'll grab everyone of them. Daybreak, noon or evening. Sorry!

    I'm Gonna Try WD-40

    After the responses for WD40. I looked up the ingredients. No Fish Oil...Does contain solvents...Mineral Spirits! (Paint Cleaner) WD-40's formula is a trade secret (and therefore may also have varied). To avoid disclosing its composition, the product was not patented in 1953, and the window of...

    Conflicting info: At what age do geese lay eggs?

    My African Geese saga---- I've finally figured out what's been going on here. McMurray Hatchery didn't send me a matched pair to begin with! I've had 2 females all along. One was killed last year. I hatched another...I thought was another female. Turns out I now have a MALE! SO...The other...

    Hen is hiding from Rooster

    My roos are for sale...I separated her because she was staying close to me and was in shock. She is a pet...I found it interesting that the posting that I responded to was also a COCHIN!

    My African female was 3 mos old when she started laying...very broody. None of her 15 eggs were fertile. Question is if my gander is fertile!

    Conflicting info: At what age do geese lay eggs?

    I really haven't noticed anything yet. I feel like trying to hatch the egg! He is 3 yrs old and was very depressed after his mate was killed, I almost lost him too. I know he has been very good with her as far as showing her things and she follows him everywhere. He has made a huge turn around.

    Conflicting info: At what age do geese lay eggs?

    I hatched an egg from EBAY because my female was killed by a opossum, which left my male all alone. Out of four eggs, 1 was hatched, luckily it was a female. She will be 3 months Thursday....I found an egg today in the hen house. Has anyone experienced this??

    Do Geese Fly?

    WEll...the hatchery was supposed to send French Toulouse geese, a pair for mating. I, unfortunately received African Geese. If they send replacements, I will then have 4. The African geese are very vocal !!!!
