    Imprinting.....

    We made a trip to Cackle a few days ago; We live less than 20 minutes away. I went with the intentions of getting a few geese and the frypan special. My son chose the free 3 ducklings that are an option with the frypan special. We put the chicks in the backseat and my son held the geese and...

    Sometimes I really HATE broodies......

    But, not because they aren't laying. I hate the broody attacks - I don't put up with it from a rooster - why a hen? I know she is in "defend my babies mode". I got her and her sister about a month and a half ago. She had no chicks. I get them home and sister started laying eggs almost...

    Chick vs adult combs

    Hi, I have been looking at combs alot and would love to see comparison pics of chick vs adult combs. A pic of the chicks comb and then pics of an adults comb of the same type - doesn't have to be the exact same bird. For example, I think it would be helpful to some to see pics of a chick with...

    I'm a bad Ebayer...

    So, last week I had a few poultry problems, for those of you who read and responded to my frustrated rant - thank you I appreciate it. One of my issues was a shipment of eggs from an ebay seller who IMO did not package the eggs properly for shipment. They were placed in an egg carton with a...

    Goose deformity

    After waiting 30+ days, and watching bator tv non stop, it was apparent that our goose egg had something wrong with it. I had kept humidity pretty high for lockdown, so I had doubts it was that. However, I do now know the problem. This goose egg was internally pipped for nearly 4 days before...

    Okay - I know, probably NOT a real breed or recognized variety. But, my son wants some. Anyone have or breed both of these varieties? Hatch any eggs from this combo, or more importantly - have any eggs from this combo for sale? He would like for chicks to eventually look like the sizzle (...

    Yes, Polish will go broody......

    For the last few weeks my Polish hen has been flying over the fence to lay eggs in my bantam coop. I thought it was pretty odd, but figured it wouldn't hurt anything. I now have 4 broody bantams - and 1 broody Polish, lol. Seems it is catching after all. I have 5 girls alternating on 3 nests...
