    Intestines eaten through the vent

    Dog kennel cage wrapped with chicken wire, I'm in central florida. I looked it up and it said weasels can do it, but I guess they're a bit rare here so I'm not sure if thats it. My other thought is cannibalism.

    Intestines eaten through the vent

    I've lost 5 hens now by major internal bleeding. They all have the same cause, bloody eaten vent and intestines eaten, a couple have had an egg cracked in there as well.

    Any idea on what color this could be?

    I hatched around 30 barnyard mix chicks and have two that look like this. They're dad is probably a blue laced red wyandotte. I'm debating on keeping them just to see what they look like.

    very attached gosling

    You might want to find him a goose friend. They're incredibly social creatures and need at least 1 other goose with them. Good job on taking him in!

    What age do geese stop laying?

    I've had my white chinese goose for about 10 years. She's been laying since I got her and I don't know her age. She usually lays around 20+ eggs annually but spring of 22' she only layed around 5 or so. Is it possible she's getting too old? I really wanted to attempt to hatch some of her eggs...

    Sustainable meat bird

    I actually made a post asking about the Delaware boilers from McMurrays, I got a few good responses from people who had them. They seem to be a good option.
