    will my goose follow me around?

    I agree with everyone else. Mine follow me around all the time. I hold them, pet them, and talk to them. My dh thinks it is funny because they talk back. I have a picture but I forgot how to attach it to my reply.

    I have a bower top hatch and I always have trouble with the humidity. Here in se Texas it is always about 40%. So I have found out the best way for me is not to add water until the three days before hatching. Then the humidity is still hard to get to stay at 50%. I am thinking about getting...

    Best roo for protecting my hens from predators?

    I have a serama rooster that will fight anything. You should see him against a big dog. He will fly up and peck at his nose and then run under neath him and jump at his back. Our neighbors black lab keeps trying to get at the chickens when they are out and he runs him off. He even will stand...

    I have a couple of ee or ameraucana roos that aren't crowing? The hens hatched at the same time are already laying. Is this normal ? I will try to post a picture later. The eggs came from a seller here if I can just remember which one.
