    When can goslings go outside?

    Nights are in the mid-50's and days have been in the 80's. They are not feathered yet, but are getting huge and I am finding it hard to keep them contained inside. I have a big chicken coop that I was going to keep them confined in until they get bigger.

    Suddenly...NO EGGS!

    I'm having the same problem. But our hens have been molting for a long time, a couple of months. Some look like they've regrown all their feathers, but others still look raggedy. We get an occasional egg, but not many at all. They're only 2 years old, production reds, barred rocks, black...
