    Sixteen Goose Eggs Disappeared

    We had an awful morning this morning, and I was hoping to get an opinion or two on what could have happened. We have a broody goose who has been sitting on a clutch of sixteen eggs for almost a month now (they were due to hatch any day now), and she has been a great mama goose ("mean" and not...

    Questions about incubating.

    Hello everyone! I had a few questions about incubating goose eggs. We are trying a few different methods this year (a broody hen as well as wet and dry incubation to see which approach we prefer). Anyway, I was wondering if I could clean the shells up a bit so that I could candle them easier...

    Can a broody chicken hatch other fowl?

    We were hoping to incubate some turkey eggs this year, but our brooder is full of goose eggs. Can we use a broody hen to incubate the turkey eggs?

    Sick hens

    A few of my marans (about a year old) have what looks like diarrhea. Their feces are liquidy and cover their backsides. One of the hens is having trouble walking. We have not changed their diet and their water and food containers are clean. Any ideas what's wrong with them? I don't want to lose...

    Huge Egg.

    Our girls just started laying. The first egg was tiny (about the size of a quarter and the yolk was only about the size as an eraser tip). Now they're getting to "normal" size, but today we found a behemoth. Just huge! Is that normal? There are two of our normal eggs (before they were washed)...

    How many hens per rooster?

    We had a few surprises and we have four to five roosters with about fourty-one hens. We are trying to not rehome any of them, and we wanted to know if there would be enough hens for the lot of them. They are doing fine together now, but they are not fully grown yet. Will the continue to be fine...

    Turkey Feed Recipe

    I am getting a pair of turkey chicks in a few weeks as a part of a homesteading combo, the only problem is: I know nothing about turkeys. I am planning on making my own chicken feed and I was wondering if anyone had a recipe for turkey feed so that I could make that as well.

    What would do well in a Chicken Garden?

    I was thinking about planting some plants around our chicken coop, but I wanted to make sure that they were plants that were chicken safe and that the chickens would actually enjoy. I know they like veggie scraps, but I was thinking about some flowers or something pretty like that; Something...

    Will guineas or geese help?

    We were going to get a few chickens (well we being me, I love fresh eggs), but the previous owners of the property told us that they had predator problems before when they had chickens. They said that since we were in the middle of the woods that everything from foxes to owls and even to bobcats...
