    Goose house pics

    My pics are LATE...but everything is LATE in my life right now. Lol. Lots of things to do and not enough time! My brother took sympathy on my goslings being forced to live in a house of my making...so he took over, built them a house in his shop, loaded it on a trailer and brought it...

    How much headroom is needed for housing Brown Chinese?

    COMPLETELY new to geese and expecting four Brown Chinese goslings from Holderread's next month. Yay! Working on the design for their adulthood house. Everything I read just states that "ample headroom" is needed, but doesn't explain what constitutes "ample." 24 inches? 36 inches? 48 inches...

    Sad...I have to find homes for 3 Ameraucana roos (2 black & 1 bbs) :(

    I ordered 8 Amers chicks from Ahappychick back in February. 4 grew up to be pullets and 4 grew up to be roos I sadly am going to have to re-home 3 of the roos. I want them to go to good homes and preferably be used in breeding rather than Sunday dinner. After weeks of agonizing over which...

    Is Stall Dri Safe For Chicks

    I have a batch of 16 day old Ameraucana chicks in the guest bathroom and they are some seriously stinky chicks! I find myself having to clean out and replace all the pine shavings daily.

    Covered Dust Bath. Needs Ideas

    Several months ago I remember seeing someone's pictures here at BYC of their covered dustbath...it was round and looked like a little dog-house-sized hut.

    How Do You Tell The Difference Between Ameraucanas & EEs?

    You guys amaze me sometimes. You can glance at a photo and tell if it is an Ameraucana or an EE, but I am over here with my magnifying glass out and STILL can't tell the difference. How do you tell the difference? Or will you have to kill me if you tell me?

    Sticky Egg

    This may be the wrong section for this question, but here goes... My 8 month old EE lays beautiful green eggs but they are sticky for up to 48 hours after she lays them. Straw or shavings in the nestboxes sticks to the eggs like they've been superglued. Some days the eggs are stickier than...

    Bittersweet Weekend-Roosters' 1st Crows - 1st Green Egg - Death of Fav

    On a sad note one of my beloved Salmon Faverolles pullets passed away early this morning. Sigh...its rough losing one when you try so hard to save them, but the symptoms are so vague that they don't point to any one particular treatment. On a happier note, my two Salmon Faverolles roosters...

    I have a 20 week old Salmon Faverolles pullet that is really sick and I need advice. -Two weeks ago, I noticed that she was always lagging behind the rest of the flock. I didn't think much of it at the time because Favs aren't exactly built for speed. - Four days ago she went completely...

    Distance necessary between trees and run?

    I am expanding my chickens' run and there are two pecan trees at the back of the property near the new fence's end. I have heard of raccoons being able to "jump" from tree trunks in order to gain height necessary to make it over high fences. How far should I keep the fence from the trees to...
