    Sexing geese, breed, behaviour, etc. Bunch of Q's rolled into one!

    I bought at auction what was supposed to be a dewlap French Toulouse...Now that I've seen others posts I'm not too sure that's what he/she is...I would love input on this and the likely sex of it... I was hoping that it as well as my brown Chinese were both geese not ganders...Both are...

    Dogloo for geese

    I'm thinking of getting my two geese a dogloo (dog igloo house) to go inside their paddock, but not sure if the smaller size (37.5 l x 30.5 w by 23 t ) is going to be tall enough for two geese?

    New Toulouse Owner

    While I've had other poultry I'm new to geese. I just acquired a 5 week old French Dewlap Toulouse in hopes to keep my senior mare company (sounds crazy but has been done many times before!).

    Crowing chicken?

    So I awoke to me my 18 week old Brahma hen crowing like a rooster at the break of day... I am concerned she's either a rooster lol or there's something funky going down. My dogs were terrified!

    Live baby poultry and those who are immunocompromised

    I'm not sure if anyone will respond but it's worth a shot! I didn't realize when I bought my chicks (4, currently in a brooder in my basement) that due to the fact that I am on immunosuppressive therapy (organ transplant drugs among others) I shouldn't be handling or caring for them...

    Ideas for coop design on existing outbuilding!

    I have an existing structure that was used to hide a generator (a very large very ugly generator from WWII that I am SO happy we finally got rid of I might add! Good old big greenie...) Right now it's just four chipboard walls and a hinged roof, (the hinged roof is QUITE heavy), and ugly as...
