    Does anyone have a male African goose for sale? My male got caught in a fence today and died. My female is very lonely. If I get another male, will she pair up with it? I believe she is about 13 weeks old. I cannot remember when I got her. She has just gotten all of her feathers. I live in...

    I think I have been messing up

    I have 10 - 11 week old chickens and one 11 week old Pekin Duck. I bought them all as day olds and lost three ducklings, which left me with one. I have had it in with my chickens. I had them in a temporary small building that I built until I could get the chicken coop built. I let them free...

    Has anyone read this book?

    I know posting the name of this book is against the rules, so I will try to word it differently. The name of the book is "Skinny B(female dog in heat)". I just want to know if the information about chicken eggs is true. And if I am feeding my birds feed from the closest farm store, am I giving...

    I just candled my eggs

    These eggs were given to me after they had set out up to 14 days. These are my first eggs to try and hatch in my home-made incubator. I tried to candle them today, day 5. They are brown eggs and I do not know if my LED mini Maglite is a good enough candler source. But it looked like about half...

    eggs go in today, question about turning!

    I've already told everyone that I know absolutely nothing about chickens and/or hatching, so you will probably not be surprised by this question!!! I know that you are supposed to "turn" the egg. Does that mean turn it 180 degrees bottom to top or vise vesa? or does that mean side to side...

    Polish Roo?

    I have four polish chicks about 7.5 weeks old. This is the only one that is getting these things (I am a new chicken owner and am embarassed that I do not know what these things are called) under his/her beak. Do you think that this one may be a rooster? Or do all polish get them? I know...

    home-made incubators

    I saw a post on here where a woman had built her own incubator. She used a meat shipping styrofoam container and some pink duct tape. Anyone remember it. I was wanting to know how to find that post. I want to build one too! That is if she doesn't mind I copy her idea. Can anyone point me to that...

    Can anyone tell me what sex these chicks are?

    I think the chicks are about 6 weeks or so. Today is the first day I let them walk on the grass. You guys make taking pictures of chickens look easy. They won't stand still. I think (I am not sure) that I have 4 buff orps, 4 polish, and 2 barred rocks. You can correct me if I am wrong. But I am...

    Getting Ready to send to the Coop

    My chicks are about 6 weeks old now. I build a small temporary coop right by my house and they have done really well there. I am just about done building their big coop. I am planning on letting them "free range" during the day! I am just really nervous about turning them out! These are my (or...
