    First goose hatched ever, what to expect

    So my first goose hatched. It was peeping and I put it under brooder lamp and gave some sugar water but is now seemingly tired/sleepy. Is this normal? What should I expect? Have never cared for birds I’ve hatched before

    When will she lay again?

    Our goose started laying and sat on four eggs before we took them from her for the incubator. Will she start laying again? It’s been about three weeks since we took the eggs from her

    How to add new geese

    Hello! I got two pilgrim geese this spring: male and female. Fell in love with them and want to add more next spring. Question is: how do I do this without causing havoc? Which sex do I get?

    Getting geese for first time in spring

    I have a couple of questions: what type of feed is used when goslings arrive and are brooded? What type of feed is used in winter to supplement for loss of grass? And do geese return to roost at night as easily as chickens do?

    Poults for first time

    They don't seem to take to the water and food like baby chicks do? Normal? How to get them to drink/eat on their own?

She loves giving them treats so we are starting to get in the habit of giving some scratch a couple times a day. This probably isn't the best for the chickens however. Are there any treats that...

    Question about poop

    This is my first year with adult chickens. We free range them and I noticed poop that looked like it had specks of grit in it. I obsessively looked at other poop in the yard and didn't notice it anywhere else, looks like rocks and not anything parasite-like. I wasn't sure if grit ever passes...

    All chickens killed

    Hi I'm looking for advice. I'm new to chickens. We had 20, 4 month old chickens all killed in the coop. We think a raccoon got in from the rafters. I'm devastated, I loved them.
