    Putting a piece of Copper in water to stop Algae growth?

    If one has sulfur that naturally occurs in their well water, would the introduction of pure copper in a waterer then produce copper sulfate? Where's the chemists when we need them? LOL

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    I just found this message and link to the post, and this was the first reply, then I looked and saw 260 pages of messages, and it made me chuckle! I guess there's your answer! 😆

    Tufted Roman Goslings and Geese- Northwestern Central Ohio- Local Pickup Only! Please Read!

    Hello! I have 7 goslings born over the past few days and some older geese available including 2 ganders (one is a Sebastopol-pet- only as he is sterile), and 5-6 adult female geese. All the girls laid eggs this year, and are wonderful mothers that sat on eggs like champs! We would have had more...

    Goose behaviors/ sudden inter goose aggression- help please

    We've had the same issue recently with our flock of 8 Roman Tufted Geese. They recently started attacking one of their flock mates who has been with them all year. I am sure they are probably coming into breeding hormones, and I'm wondering now if the one they are attacking is a subdominant...

    I still have movement this morning. Is there a point that I should intervene and what ought I to do? I really don’t want to lose my last 2. Here’s their air cells:

    Goose Incubation & Hatching Guide - Completed!!!!

    Thanks! The leaking egg I had was definitely dead. :( As far as the others though, of the 4 eggs left, I candled this evening and saw movement in 2 of them, and they appear to have very large air cells- easily as large as the one shown at hatch in your guide, but they haven't yet internally...

    Help please! Goose egg pipping? Normal? Should I see fluid??

    Today was day 31, 2 of the 4 that are left (the one above- #5- was clearly dead- it started seeping more ☹️) both have very good sized air cells in spite of the increased moisture which seem plenty adequate for them if they do hatch. I opened it up and those 2 have clear movement still, but so...

    Goose Incubation & Hatching Guide - Completed!!!!

    I realize this is an old post, but it is incredibly informative. I wish I would have stumbled across it sooner! I set 12 Roman Tufted Goose eggs in my incubator (Farm Innovators Pro Series Digital 4250 Circulated Air Incubator with Automatic Egg Turner) 30 days ago, and had been using a book...

    Help please! Goose egg pipping? Normal? Should I see fluid??

    Hello! First time incubating and hatching Roman Tufted Goose eggs, and out of 12 eggs I set, only 5 seem to have developed where they look like they are viable to hatch. Unfortunately, the goose book I was using for reference was using much different higher humidity levels than what the guide...

    Oh, and as babies, they looked EXACTLY like Cornish Cross chicks.

    Tractor Supply. They were sold as Cornish Cross and when they didn't grow as fast we figured they were Leghorns, buuuut, many of what seem to be roosters in the group are getting this tan on their backs. The pullets are still nearly all white.

    A few of these young guys have started getting tan on their backs and black tips on their cape feathers. What are they?
