    Lame Gosling

    Thank you Miss Lydia. They do have their own space and mom has been sticking very close to her nest, almost like she knows. The gosling looks a lot more solid today as well. Nature is a pretty incredible thing.

    Lame Gosling

    So I have a couple set of goslings that just hatched and one appears lame. Sagging eyes, floppy wings, and it has a difficult time walking (however it keeps up with its sibling and mother with difficulty). Was it perhaps hatched a bit to early and just needs a bit more time? Any advice? I...

    Eco Red Shield Lumber? Yay or nay for the coop?

    I myself would not. I do a lot of different work involving various materials and the red lumber is just Home Depots version of pressure treated from anywhere else. They claim it to be lighter in weight...which it isn't to any noticable degree. When cutting it I take the same precautions I do...
