    EMERGENCY ADVICE NEEDED ASAP

    The bottom of the egg that is crushed feels squishy. I wondered if the yolk was still in there. What to do about that problem? Will the baby stay in the egg until it is absorbed? btw thank you for responding

    EMERGENCY ADVICE NEEDED ASAP

    Last night I checked the eggs under the goose and one of the eggs had an external pip. There was movement in the egg so I let it all be. This morning when I went out one of the other female geese had climbed into the nest with this mamma and had squashed this egg. I don't think it was quite...

    Should I leave eggs under chicken

    I have 5 eggs under a chicken that are getting within a week of hatching. My question is... The nest is about 2 feet off the ground. Do I leave the chicken and her eggs there? Will the chicks fall out? When they do get down out of the next then what, do they need a little roost or what? I'm...

    Help with Aggressive Ducks

    Update on my farmyard dilemma . Traded 4 drakes for 1 gander. My yard is so much calmer now. The drake occasionally chases the geese around but without 5 drakes they can escape much more easily. It's all good now.

    Can a chicken lay a tiny egg?

    I wondered that too but I swore all 15 of the hens have been laying for about 6 months. lol I am getting 14 eggs per day. Their pen is open during the day for them to come and go as they please so I wondered if anything else would lay there too. So funny.

    Would you sacrifice your Geese or your other fowl?

    I have raised my geese from babies. (Along with the ducks and chickens) They are nearing a year old and will still eat out of my hand. They are very vocal (loud) when I'm near too. The ducks are not as friendly. Never have been. Could be the breed. The chickens talk to me too but it is more...

    Funny goose raising story

    Last spring I bought 3 young goslings. White and brown Chinese. As they grew there was one very timid one and two very talkative loud ones. I just kind of figured the timid one was female and the bossier two were male. Long story short, they grew up. One of them started laying in my flower...

    Help with Aggressive Ducks

    I am in Utah. I put a note on my Facebook account wanting to trade my drakes for a male goose. I think it may work out okay. I checked into processing them but, yeah, that is not happening. I am weak. Tonight the mean drakes are locked up separately from everything. The one drake that is...
