I use Kalmbach bc of the nutrients in it. If it helps- I just mix in a 1/2 bag of good scratch to get alll the grains that could help them stay warm, feathered, and flowing. One 50# bag of flock maintainer and 1/2 of a 50# bag of good scratch (a good mix) ratio. For my chickens and Turkey, and a...
I live near Sanford Maine, not far from NH... If I can help. I would be interested in taking them all if you would like.
I have 20 well behaved and varied chickens, they free range and live peacefully with a flock of geese and a few ducks. I have a long run with partitioned corrals for each...
Feathers are high in protein- one reason they will start eating them- good to get some mealworms in there, alter the protein in their food for a little while....
Pecking each other is usually a stress thing- competition for food: can spread out the food sources (bowls, thrown, etc) so they...
I am fairly certain those are not Poultry Chicks.... they are 'birdie' babies :D. - from a borrower bird of some sort. Maybe they got to cracking open with all the sounds and excitement of the chicken chicks going? Same goal tho, keep warm and nurture...:love
thank you for helping... they are all much calmer now- they were rocking on day 26, almost nothing on day 27, now on day 28 I have one peeping! Some the air cells have gone into a saddle shape?! Was candling to see if others had int pipped, and surpised to see this on underside of the egg...
Maybe you could help me?
I have some goose eggs incubating, day 27... they were shaking and throwing shadows on the rim on day26, one looked as if it internally pipped- so i started lockdown and waited about 24hrs for better sign of pipping, one of 7 seemed to have int pip ...
How do I handle...
Ok! I wanted to add to my goose flock and with the luck of 1 gosling hatch out of 5 eggs incubated (1st try at incubating geese eggs). Went again with the 5 eggs, hoping to get 2 or 3 fertilized eggs, and hatch at least 2.... The seller gave me 2 eggstra! AND ALLLL of them are fertile and ready...
I have about 20 chickens, 6 ducks- one is blind, and finally had the courage to try geese. We have an Emden, a Buff, and a Toulouse. I strictly wanted females so I bought them from Meyers. Came in strong and healthy. I love them so much, I tried incubating- difficult! I had 6 eggs and ended up...
I have reverted to giving my geese and ducks this Kahlmbach line... It was just not working withthe other feeds- from my local stores. This Kalmbach has a Niacin percentage that keep my galli-fowl legs and bodies healthy as they need to be- less work and worry for me. I have a duck and a goose...
Silkies, just wondering if you were able to find a home for your silkies/ girls? I am still able to road trip out to get them, just not quite sure where 3 hours puts them but looks about Conn.
this is prob a crazy idea- could you 'train' the dogs? Being that they aren't mean, seem to be attracted to your area for stimulation- would it be possible to call them over, establish a connection, and begin training them with the firm 'NO!'s' and sit, stay, etc.? They aren't getting trained by...
