    Once Friendly Goose Attacking

    That reminds me of the Lethal Weapon movie! Where one cop got the other to strip and walk like a chicken. "I thought you said it would work!" "I just wanted to see if you'd do it!" But I actually have a nice, loose jacket that could be perfect for those moments where I need wingspan.

    Once Friendly Goose Attacking

    Ruby starts to charge at me, putting his head out and grabbing whatever he can with a fierce barrage of hard bites and shakes. Usually, Ruby doesn't seem to care about them. Sometimes he looks in, or chews on the bars of their puppy pen. Typically more attention is shown by the older roosters...

    Once Friendly Goose Attacking

    I could try putting them in the gated garden. They can't fly and they can't bull their way out, either.

    Once Friendly Goose Attacking

    Good evening. I hope you all are doing well. I am three months into raising geese and I have a question about attitude changes in my feather kids. Ruby and Jasper have been fun little goslings. Sweet, chatty, a bit nibble, but I was assured that was normal. Three months in and Ruby has...

    What kind of pool

    Hello, all! I'm quite new to raising geese, but this year we have a pair of Embden goslings! Ruby and Jasper are feathering in nicely on their wings and bum, and soon they will be ready for life outdoors! They will co-habitate with my flock of chickens. This brings me to my question. What kind...

    Weekly growth ameraucana chicks

    This is fascinating to me! I have one, and I was sure it was male from how thick the legs are, but looking at your earlier pictures, your little splash had thick legs too. So there's hope!

    When can I give baby chicks to their forever home?

    The broody is still in with them, so yes, but the two ladies were interested in them as chicks, I believe.

    When can I give baby chicks to their forever home?

    Sorry about the long title. I didn't know a good short way to ask! I have let my broody silkie, Dawn, hatch six eggs. Four have hatched and two are pipping. Thing is, I did it at the ultimatum of only if I could find homes for the babies. We found homes, don't worry! But I'm wondering WHEN do...

    Bumbletoe and How To Bandage?

    My black laced red Wyandotte, Layla, has developed bumblefoot. But it's on her TOE. Currently, I have soaked it, cleaned it lightly with Thycerin (sp?) , and applied Prid to it. I'd prefer to try non surgical if possible at first. Regardless, I have no idea how to properly bandage a...

    Speckled Sussex : hen or Rio?

    Don't be too sad. Speckled Sussex roosters are gorgeous! Han will be the envy of the neighborhood. ❤

    Breed and pullet or rooster?

    Definitely a cockerel. Especially if he was in with sex links. They're called as such because the color helps differentiate between gender after hatching.

    Black laced red Wyandotte Cockerel or Pullet?

    Hey! I also have a Black Laced Red Wyandotte baby. I think it's a pullet. She's about ten weeks now.

    Help Identifying Chicks

    I looked again, and I believe that chick number one, Hattie, is a Speckled Sussex! Paler chest and tummy. Eye liner. Brown head spots. Back stripes.

    They do, but many of the chicks look the same to me, to be honest.

    Help Identifying Chicks

    Our chicks just came in. One passed away... but these three seem perky. They have identified the water source, but they aren't interested in the food yet. Anyway, I know one is a Wyandotte. A Blue/Black/Splash Laced Red Wyandotte. But I don't know which is my Lakeshore Egger and which is the...

    Regarding the End

    I was just lying here in bed, getting up the energy to get up and let my flock out, and a strange and possibly morbid thought came to mind. What do you all do when your chicken dies? Do you bury it? Cremate it? Heaven forbid: cook or trash it? I find myself very interested to hear what you guys...
