    Questions about noise level/quiet breeds?

    I will just put my two cents in and recommend Sebastopol geese. Very quiet and generally calm compared to other breeds. When you first get them they will make more sound until they are comfortable with you. Their "honks" are fairly quiet and only used when they are worked up about something...

    Introducing A New Sebastopol Goose

    Hello again everyone! I wanted to leave a comment if anyone finds this post and has a similar question. I find it hard to find goose information online. We've had a series of unfortunate events and a couple more geese have come and gone. A weasel or mink of some kind was sneaking in at night...

    Sexing Poofy Silkie

    Unfortunately, I think it looks like a boy too. Thanks for your suggestion! All the silkies are actually getting a brow trim this weekend!

    Sexing Poofy Silkie

    I hoped I would never have to make an 'is this a boy or girl' post, but here I am. I recently purchased this extra fluffy unsexed 3-4 month old silkie that just has me completely stumped. It is more show quality than my other silkies which may be why it's harder for me to tell. When I look back...

    Introducing A Young Rooster to Flock With 3 Roosters

    I recently had the opportunity to purchase a gorgeous group of paint naked necks. There are 3 pullets and 1 cockerel in the group, the lady wouldn't separate them. They are all still pretty young ~2.5 months or so. I currently have a silkie/NN flock already with about 8 hens and 3 roosters. The...

    Looking for geese by the Kansas City area

    I have not heard of her before, but I will see if I can find some contact info. We could use a good avian vet anyways.

    Looking for geese by the Kansas City area

    Hi everyone, I am looking for either Sebastopol or Toulouse geese. Age and gender do not matter to me. We currently have one female Sebastopol and her mate and then replacement mate have both been killed in broad daylight by a fox while free ranging. I do not want her to be alone and she cries...

    Red and Inflamed Skin - Molting Issue?

    That's true, hopefully that is the only problem. I've always wondered if chickens ever get ingrown feathers somewhat similar to how people get ingrown hairs.

    Red and Inflamed Skin - Molting Issue?

    Hi there, this is our first year with chickens and they are in the middle/end phases of molting right now. I noticed our rooster has very inflamed and red patches of skin in certain areas. In the photos you can see an extremely red patch on his neck. The other photos show a second red patch with...

    Show Me Your Bantam Babies!

    Is it the last photo that is the D'Uccle mix? I'm not very familiar with the characteristics of the breed since they are very uncommon in my area. I just love those calico feathers!

    Permethrin spray

    Sorry to revive an older thread, but found our first louse on one of our free ranging chickens. I can't find any of the main permethrin products at our local stores, but they do have Bayer brand Permectrin II (same ingredients as the Martin's brand permethrin 10) and lists it as a treatment for...
