Hello! I have 7 goslings born over the past few days and some older geese available including 2 ganders (one is a Sebastopol-pet- only as he is sterile), and 5-6 adult female geese. All the girls laid eggs this year, and are wonderful mothers that sat on eggs like champs! We would have had more...
Hello! First time incubating and hatching Roman Tufted Goose eggs, and out of 12 eggs I set, only 5 seem to have developed where they look like they are viable to hatch. Unfortunately, the goose book I was using for reference was using much different higher humidity levels than what the guide...
Yesterday I got 2 Columbian Rock Cross chicks at TSC and they were labeled "Pullets". They are white with some black barring on the tips of the wings. I was reading somewhere on here that hens are generally red and roosters are white? That doesn't seem right or else TSC doesn't have them...
I have 25 chicken eggs in my incubator. It's just a Styrofoam one from TSC with the egg turner attachment. Eggs were set on 8/25, and I had the temperature dead on 99.5 for the entire time up to lockdown day which I calculated to be the 12th. I never opened it throughout that time to bother...
Hey all, I could use some advice. I picked up 20 Cornish Rock chicks at our local TSC the other day since I wanted to get another batch in before winter, and I had some interest from a customer who buys eggs from us as well as some friends. I checked everywhere else, but all the hatchery ship...
My neighbor has a single female goose and she’s fallen in love with her (I gave her one of the 3 I had, and I kept the other two), so she wants to get her a mate now. Central Ohio area near Peak of Ohio. Thank you!
I have two beautiful roosters that we have decided not to keep, as we will not need fertile eggs for a couple of years.
The roosters are 6 months old and great flock guardians, but do not get along with my geese. They were acquired as day old chicks from Meyer Hatchery and were vaccinated for...
Hello! I have a couple of questions, but first off, I have a mixed flock of 22 nearly 10 week old chickens and 6 5 week old ducks. I have a permanent set up for all of them together that is covered with netting over the top, as well as a chickshaw mobile coop with electric netting and a solar...
Hello All! Before I begin, I will mention I did attempt to search for this answer on here, but couldn't really find the answer in regards to our situation.
So this is our first flock and I have no experience when it comes to when is the right time to put my chickens out in our big permanent...
Hello! I have enjoyed reading through articles here so I thought I would join- so far advice I have found on here has been invaluable! We moved into our log cabin home on 16 acres of woods- plus a few extra acres between the home site and driveway- just last summer. I started building a...
