I have a predicament. We have 2 ducks & 1 goose (hence the title) & I have 2 questions.
1. My step daughter tried picking the goose up out of the pen & he flails around so she dropped him & he hit his leg on the waterer.. now he has been limping and mostly laying down because it hurts. Anything...
We have a 5 week old Lavender Orpington who is smaller than the other two Lavenders (always has been) but she just started to where her vent is poked out, constantly moving, red, & my husband just seen her trying to poop, pecking at it & not coming out right away. Anyone know what’s going on...
The 4 week olds are fully feathered with their heads being last, still fuzzy but crazy looking. Lol. The 3 week olds are Cochins, so they have fuzzy feet & still mostly soft but still a bit of feathers.
We have 21 chicks, just turned 4 weeks old Saturday, 4 of them are a week behind because we got those from TSC. They have been inside the house in the brooder, house temp kept at 68-70, & they are next to the window & get sunlight in half the brooder all day. I know they start to not need the...

I just wanted to come on here to show everyone our coop & run in progress, our chickens are 4 weeks old & also 4 3 week old Cochins that are right behind them. They will be able to go out soon! :D We have a total of 21 chickens. Any advice or recommendations welcome!

Ditch the cedar chips, cedar is no good for chickens. Mine are 3 1/2 weeks old & then I also have 2 weekers, some of them sneeze too but from what I’ve found it’s fairly normal for them as long as they are acting fine & no nasty discharge, etc. We’ve been using the pine flakes from TSC, 6/7$ for...
Soooooo :p
I had an idea, I wanted to see if anyone had the same breeds as we do.. or even the exact opposite! Just something to do at the moment. Let me know!
4 Americaunas
3 Australorps
4 Blue Cochins
3 Lavender Orpingtons
3 Rhode Island Blues
4 Blue laced red Wyandottes
Welcome Dallas!
You are not alone, first time chicken owners here as well.. ordered 16, they sent 17, & then we picked up 4 more from TSC the other day, totaling a whopping 21 for us beginners! 😂😂 Hatchery batch is 2 weeks old today, & the little ones 3 days! I would love to hear your plans...
From a quick search I found one for March 19th, was super excited- but then I saw the 2021. 🥴😂 We have months until laying though. I will see what I can find!
