So far the goose is still moving vigorously! I'm trying to get hatching experience for most backyard birds so as long as I hatch at least one of these I'll try again lol
Last night marked day 20 for my 2 goose eggs. This morning I wake up to mist and one of the eggs air cell has increased too much. The other one is fine! The temp and humidity are consistent. I'm not sure what to do as these are my first goose eggs to incubate. Help please
We have this hen we bought as a chick. She was sold to us as a pure cream legbar. However as she grew she did not get the crest! She instead grew a muff/beard. We have waited 10 months for her to lay to figure out what breed she is. FFinally today we got a beautiful blue egg! So what do y'all...
It feels like we're being targeted but we can't argue since we rent. We've been looking for a home to buy and move but nothing has come up that suits our needs.
Apparently in a world where the neighbor thinks she's never had a fly in her house before lol(south texas)....funny thing is, we don't have that problem and the chickens are in our yard! I'm wondering what is in HER house that attracting the flies. We've had the chickens a year now and she's...
It's finally come to the point where the neighbors are complaining flies are in their house. We have to get rid of our chickens. We are devastated but since we rent our home we have to keep peace with neighbors. What is the best way to irradicate flies quickly from the yard? We had a few rooster...
Yes I will see if I can get some! And yes she does have 5 toes. But one of the toes has an extra claw or toe nail. So I thought she could have just been malformed from birth with the eye and toenail
We got this tiny feather footed bantam from TSC 2 days ago. We did notice her eye was hurt at the time of purchase, but she was only one of 2 light colored bantams left so I had to have her. I'm assuming she was pecked in the eye by another chick. Is there something I should put on it? I can see...
So the cheeping was so faint ....I had to take the kids to school so I promised them I'd go ahead and take the chick out and check it when I got home. There was no more movement and cheeping. I was afraid to open the incubator because I had 4 more pipped eggs. But I took it out and it had...
This chick has been pipped for at least 18 hours now. Is it shrink wrapped? It's still alive but making no progress. My husband was home when one hatched and opened the incubator ....he didn't know any better 😔
We got our first chicks April 2022 after a friend signed up for free chicks through the agriculture extension here and then changed their mind! Somehow she just knew I'd make a great chicken momma 😊
We currently have 21 chickens and 3more just hatched! We have production red, black star, easter...
