    Neighbor's goose attacked yesterday by their dogs - followed by a vent

    Oh my gosh, that's so terrible. My heart breaks for the goose, for the little boys, and for the dogs who have been taught that aggressive behavior is OK.

    Guardian Goose in Urban Flock? (some graphic description)

    My goal isn't for the goose to fight a predator, I'm hoping for an alert honk. If I had an alert honk, I could run outside and chase it off - particularly as we get into warmer weather where the flock may be out of their run for longer periods during the day.

    Guardian Goose in Urban Flock? (some graphic description)

    **warning, description of chicken death** Hello all, I live in a small city on about .3 of an acre. I started with a flock of 6 (city limit) and due to two turning out to be roosters (not allowed) and one bantam being caught by the neighborhood hawk, I was down to 3. I keep them in a coop with...

    DECEMBER Hatch-A-Long!😊

    Hey all, So, I am afraid that none of my eggs are going to hatch. This is due to my own homemade incubator... I made one for my last hatch and it was wonderful - 90% hatch rate!! This time however I made some BIG mistakes... namely, I ordered some eggs because one of my hens was broody and I...

    DECEMBER Hatch-A-Long!😊

    So my eggs are in a carton with the bottoms cut out and I turn them every three hours. However because the carton juuuuust fits into the incubator I made, I’m thinking about taking it out and just placing the eggs on their side. However, that would mean setting the eggs on the screen which is...

    DECEMBER Hatch-A-Long!😊

    OH NO!!!! I got home from work today and somehow my incubator temp was 114, humidity of 10!!!! I have no idea how it happened or for how long, my best guess is a curious dog got in there and bumped the dimmer switch. I immediately opened it up and cooled it down, added more water, got the eggs...

    DECEMBER Hatch-A-Long!😊

    My eggs just arrived! I bought six mystery eggs from Amazon because I thought my hen was broody... nope. So now I have 10 (four extra!!) that arrived a week earlier than expected and I'm trying to throw together an incubator. They are much larger than my last batch, I'm a little worried, haha...

    Mystery Flock! 2 from TSC, 4 from Amazon!

    Alright forum, let's see what I've got! I've been doing a little research, but want to know if my guesses are correct. I'll post a name, age in the pic, and 3 good pics. The two pullets from TSC look exactly the same, so I'll only post one set of pics for them. Ruth & Sandra, 16 weeks...

    Huge Lump in Chick’s Chest!

    Thank you so much, everyone!!!!! I went out to check on them this morning, and Kagan's chest was smooth and flat. She was running around with the rest of the flock, pecking/scratching/hopping/eating/drinking like normal. I am so relieved, thank you all again.

    Huge Lump in Chick’s Chest!

    I think what concerns me is that it’s all to one side. I didn’t think crops filled just on one side? thank you, everyone! I’m a total chicken newb, thanks for being so nice about my utter ignorance😩😫😩😖

    Huge Lump in Chick’s Chest!

    My chicks are 5 weeks old, and have been outside for about 1.5 weeks. They have been doing great, but today I noticed that Kagan has a huge lump in her crop. She is still eating, drinking, and playing, but I’m really worried. What should I do?!

    My Chickens just don't get it!!!

    Following! I just a few watering nipples like this for my flock, and they just don't get it. I've done all the same things you have, and am ready to throw in the towel. Frustrating!

    Integrating 4-week old chicks into 18-week flock?

    Hi All!! I have three 18-week-old chickies (one rooster, two hens), and four 4-week old chickies. Not sure of any of the breeds, but I’m having fun trying to figure it out! Now that it’s summer, I want the babies outside ASAP. Today I put the babies in a dog crate and stuck them in the run. It...

    Hands on hatching and help

    Hello, I may need help. I have an egg that had a hairline crack when received, which I sealed with candle wax. Roughly 30 hours ago, I noticed a crack part of the way around the egg (4 have hatched, 4 eggs remain). I am wondering if it is time for me to intervene?

    Hmmmmm, I will check!!! I think what concerns me most is that it’s been over 24 hours since I noticed the long crack. Here is is pic:
