From MurrayMcMurray .. Rarest of the rare, my guess is cream legbar? I usually hatch my own fertiles but a fox went grocery shopping in our coop one night when the auto door got stuck. My one roo, Donnie, went down along with three hens. Actually, the fox was timid to enter (saw via cam) but...

Big fat viper under a Rubbermaid lid in the yard, slithered under the enclosed wooden coop. We’ve had oak snakes steal eggs but not lately (Saw on security cam) because we closed up holes. I have two traps I’ve used to get non-venomous snakes in. What bait for a rattler? Suggestions? Not...

four have pipped but way below air pocket line! This is my first goose egg attempt, had lots of luck with chicks. Do I need to pin an air hole in air pocket? They are active and chirping. I started with 17, have 12 now. Jen in Tallahassee

i bought seven Toulouse goslings from Murray MacMurray. They are about 3 months old, close to full grown. I have raised geese before but never encountered this problem. Any goose I have ever lost was predator-related. One gosling was having leg issues and I added niacin and he got stronger...
