    Why don't my Rhode Island Red eggs hatch?!?

    Thank you all so much for the info. Thank goodness I was already planning on getting more RIR hens or I'd be pretty sad. I guess Donna Pinciotti will just have to be an egger for the fridge. But I still love her and she will continue to have a happy life in my flock. I had a friend come over...

    Why don't my Rhode Island Red eggs hatch?!?

    I was reading like you said. A lot of people are saying that RIR doesn't carry a lethal gene. And I've seen none of the symptoms that they described. One person suggested that the shells are just too thick.

    Why don't my Rhode Island Red eggs hatch?!?

    Can you tell me more about this lethal gene? I've never heard of it before.

    Why don't my Rhode Island Red eggs hatch?!?

    I have been keeping poultry for years. And I have always had great success with everything I have tried to hatch out. Button quail, cotournix quail, bantam chickens, standard chickens, ducks, turkeys, and more. I only have 1 Rhode Island Red hen. She's in the same pen as the RIR rooster and 8...

    My male turkey is being mean to my gander. What should I do?

    Just to be clear, only the coop/shed is 6x6. The pen is 12x12 with a plan to expand to the pond. The final paddock will be 30x20 with the 6x6 shed and a wire cover over the top. I just wanted to make sure they all had a decent place to get into for the winter. Even here in New Mexico the winters...

    My male turkey is being mean to my gander. What should I do?

    Ok, so I bought a bonded pair of geese about 2 weeks after Easter. The geese (Lucy Goosey and Jeffrey) are about a year and a half old. I also have a pair of turkeys that I hatched out about 6 months ago. I kept the male (Stinkus) and one hen (Jennie O). I didn't have a properly sized pen to...

    RIR Rooster over Ayam Cemani hen.

    I completely agree. I bred my Silver Laced Wyandotte hens with a Rhode Island Red rooster to get my Red Sexlinks. I then bred those Sexlinks with another Rhode Islan Red rooster. From 2 red parents, I got several chicks that look like Silver Laced Wyandottes. And some came out looking like...

    RIR Rooster over Ayam Cemani hen.

    She is a crafty bird🤣. Every day I have to put her back on her side. It turns out, the chickens of the flock that she keeps going into don't like her. Even the Rooster chases her and won't breed with her. She is only doing it to lay her egg. I have been watching her. She uses the design of the...

    RIR Rooster over Ayam Cemani hen.

    Ok, so we raise all different breeds of chicken here. I am pretty good at keeping all the chickens where I want them so that I make sure my chicks breed true. But today, one of my Ayam Cemani hens made her way into the Rhode Island Red pen. I'm not sure how long she had been in there but she was...

    Sick Goose?

    I wanted to let all of you know that Loosey Goosey is up and waddling around. Thank you all so much for the wonderful advice. With it I'm confident that I can keep both Loosey and Jeffrey happy and healthy for years to come. Maybe we'll get some cute goslings too.

    Sick Goose?

    Absolutely agree. But don't you like being one of the ones with brains who will survive when the shelves either go empty again or sit there full because food is too expensive. Just wait until all these namby pamby spoiled kids realize you can't eat an IPhone. They'll start wishing they had spent...

    Sick Goose?

    That's awesome. I will admit that there have been some that I simply could not save. In fact we lost our 5 month old Royal Palm named Jive Turkey just last week. We had an abundance of rain and his food went moldy which made him sick. I worked with him for 48 hours straight to get him to try and...

    Any Home Bakers Here?

    My daughter loves to bake with our fresh chicken, duck, and quail eggs. Last night she made an amazing chocolate cheesecake with cookie crust. And she's only 14. She's already started saving up to own her own bakery too. She bakes better than my grandma😁

    Sick Goose?

    It's kinda funny what Goosebaby said about the Poultry and avian vets. We live in a rural area and I'm usually the one everyone brings all their pets and birds to. I have saved Cotournix Quail who have had their entire scalps removed to the bone. I have saved the life of my neighbors black lab...

    Sick Goose?

    Ok, so I just got back from Tractor supply. I got the Poultry cell but they didn't have the B complex. I got the Liquid B-12 with vitamin K as I figured it was better than nothing. Can I give them at the same time or should I wait 2 hours between like an herbal tincture?

    Sick Goose?

    Is that all stuff that goes in the water? I can't get her to take anything from my hand. She didn't even want the comfrey leaf but she ate it when I broke it up and let it float on the water.

    Sick Goose?

    Thank you all very much!! We raise quail and turkeys too so we already have the 30% feed available. We are headed to tractor supply now and I will get her the B complex. I am so very grateful to all of you. I did notice that she has put on about a pound or 2 since the first day of her being sick.

    Sick Goose?

    I was wondering if anyone knew what to do about my 1 year old Toulouse named Loosey Goosey. I have only had my geese since around Easter. Since that time, I have been feeding her and her gander freshly chopped grass, weeds, and vegetables every day. I didn't think there was any problem because...

    What is the best way to feed geese?

    No. They're not breeding as far as I know. I have seen the male grab the female by the back of the head on occasion. But nothing ever comes of it.
