    Trying to be all artsy with a baby never gets far. I think this is a Dorking chick, but I might be wrong. It's an older picture.

    My Light Grey Dorking rooster is spending time with my neighbor's single mom Naked Neck hen and her brood. She comes over to visit with my boys.

    Sand Hill Dorking Chickens

    Howdy! I do have a good number of Sandhill Preservation Dorkings. Beautiful birds and some of my better Dorkings. Back in 2021, I had 3 Sandhill Dorking hens, with all three going broody at once. I lost one of them, but had raised a couple more, so currently have at least 5 Sandhill bloodline...

    Gosling advice

    If you mother geese, you're a goose mom. I'm sorry you lost Simon. We can't know all the reasons things happen. You have to be willing to put your trust in a Higher Power and accept that sometimes the answer to your prayers isn't what you wanted. I am so very sorry for your loss. I also don't...

    Gosling advice

    That's a sick gosling. Prepare yourself to lose him. I agree that the umbilical might be infected. It looks awfully red and is an open sore. That needs to be treated with standard wound care - no hydrogen peroxide, but try to keep the umbilical clean and dry; Betadine or another topical...

    Goose Eggs

    If they're laying eggs, they are much older than a month old. If you haven't been hearing the sounds of goose mating, they aren't mating. They might both be female and share the nest. Goose mating seems, at least with my geese, to be a very noisy affair with lots of yelling involved. Males...

    Will my hens lay eggs again?

    I live in SSE Texas. Many of my hens are 3 years old heading into their fourth year. I had the typical stop in Fall for molting, but most of them were slow to come back. Some hadn't started laying again until the past couple of weeks! I wouldn't worry about it. You're treating the mites. I'm...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    10 chicken eggs and 1 goose egg. Considering there were three green eggs from 5 Ameraucana, 2 cream eggs from 5 Dorkings, and 5 various shades of brown eggs from the other 8 or 10 flock members, it's not that bad. There are only two geese, and they're in the middle of Goose Rut with the two...

    He looks like a Bielefelder. I'm probably wrong, though.

    Bonding

    Howdy! I fear I go the other way. I will make friends with the adult birds, just through constant working and feeding them. Routine is important to most critters, so I try to feed and water the same way every day, with only minor variations. I stay distant from my birds because I have already...
