    Toulouse Geese Thread

    Question: I picked up 2 toulouse goslings about 5 weeks ago. All the research I could find was that they are generally hard to tell apart. I got them unsexed. However, one of them has white wing tips while the other has grey wing tips. This is their only difference besides personality. I thought...

    Rooster crowing dominance/ egg laying opinions

    Ok. I do like the barred rock but if I could have peace, I may have taken it lol. The sex link hen did protest the new chickens and refused to go in the coop at night for a few weeks, she would disappear well in advance of dusk on purpose I think because If I saw her I would put her in. The...

    Michigan winter proofing coop - first time tips?

    Coop is about 60ft from an electrical source.... Is there such a thing as a battery operated agitator? Would that even work if there was?

    Michigan winter proofing coop - first time tips?

    I turned an old children's play house into a coop this spring. Now that its getting colder I'm thinking its will need some work. It's got 3 empty " windows" that I put chain screen over on 3 sides to stop any animals from getting in, the walls are made from boards and you can see through the...

    Rooster crowing dominance/ egg laying opinions

    This spring we got a barred rock rooster (adult, age unknown) as a "rescue" from a bad situation, a week later we got a what I believe to be, a gold sex link hen from a suburban "pet" home. The two bonded quickly. A few weeks later someone asked me to take "4" chickens they didn't want anymore...

    Introducing new chickens

    Within a week of each other I adopted a barred rock Roo that had been kept in unsatisfactory conditions and a RR hen that had been kept as a solo pet for some children. They took to each other instantly and for the 2 months we've had them, learned to free roam and follow me around the yard as...

    Breed or gender best guess?

    Came out of a brown egg. Only one that hatched so the neighbors gave it away. No idea on parents. About 2- 2 1/2 weeks I believe. Any idea what color it might end up? Wings and tail look white but looks like some body feathers starting have white and brown/ tan...

    Feather loss. Behavioral or medical? Pics

    Well they are the only 2 we have, should I still separate her now after they've been together for the past few weeks? What kind of disease? My friend had her as a pet for her kids in a suburban area the last few yrs.

    I never even thought of that, he has been seen trying to do the deed. That's a relief, shouldn't be long before we collect a few more. Neighbors already gave us a couple week old chick, just too young to go to the coop yet.
