Well I AM so thankful you said what you did about being 1 years old. I kinda got that impression with her not sitting on the eggs she laid. I think I will play it by ear - letting the chicks get bigger - I am thinking maybe try at the point the chicks do not need the heat lamp? I am going to...
Hello I am going to be adding 2 baby chicks to my backyard flock. I have the SWEETEST goose Lucy. Lucy is one year old. I raised her as a gosling with baby chicks and she is my only goose. She is laying eggs right now - but she leaves the coop - so she is not broody. I was wondering if she could...
An update to my question about my Wyandotte not laying eggs. She NOW is laying constantly one egg a day YEAH!!! She started about 3 weeks ago - so pretty much she did NOT lay eggs for a year. Double bonus my goose is now laying eggs too!! I think I am going to chalk it up to her being a tom-boy...

THANK you so much for getting back to me!! i am feeding them both their fav (so far) Nutrena Layer Feed 16% Pellet by Nature Wise. She is my agressive athletic one, so needing protein could be a factor - any suggestions on the best way to get that done?
Hello All, this is my first time posting. I have a question regarding my "Alpha" Golden Sex Link Hen (I own 2 hens) - who has been a SOLID - one egg a day producer. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that there was a broken egg in an unusual place. After that I noticed that she didn't always lay...
