I have a predicament. We have 2 ducks & 1 goose (hence the title) & I have 2 questions.
1. My step daughter tried picking the goose up out of the pen & he flails around so she dropped him & he hit his leg on the waterer.. now he has been limping and mostly laying down because it hurts. Anything...
We have a 5 week old Lavender Orpington who is smaller than the other two Lavenders (always has been) but she just started to where her vent is poked out, constantly moving, red, & my husband just seen her trying to poop, pecking at it & not coming out right away. Anyone know what’s going on...
We have 21 chicks, just turned 4 weeks old Saturday, 4 of them are a week behind because we got those from TSC. They have been inside the house in the brooder, house temp kept at 68-70, & they are next to the window & get sunlight in half the brooder all day. I know they start to not need the...
Good morning!
I just wanted to come on here to show everyone our coop & run in progress, our chickens are 4 weeks old & also 4 3 week old Cochins that are right behind them. They will be able to go out soon! :D We have a total of 21 chickens. Any advice or recommendations welcome!

Soooooo :p
I had an idea, I wanted to see if anyone had the same breeds as we do.. or even the exact opposite! Just something to do at the moment. Let me know!
4 Americaunas
3 Australorps
4 Blue Cochins
3 Lavender Orpingtons
3 Rhode Island Blues
4 Blue laced red Wyandottes
Hello again! 😂
Can somebody remind me, how much space in the RUN per chicken? We have a 10x20, but we also have another 10x10 that can be added if need be. Chickens won’t be stuck in the coop so I know sizing is different if just using for nesting/roosting.
I’ll be honest, we have 21 chicks...
Hey y’all,
So we went over board on our first time chicken buying. We ordered 16, got 17, THEN grabbed 4 more from TSC just the other day, so they are only a week apart from those 4. 🥴 The 4 we’re unsexed, but I’m going to guess 2-3 Roos seeing how we ordered only 1 from the hatchery & they...
Hi, it’s me again. 😆
I lifted the brooder because I’m a paranoid weirdo and wanted to see if they were ok, & one chick was laying on her side.. two days old. Normal? I poked her softly & she jumped right up. 🤨 Same thing a few minutes later, chicks ran out to eat/drink.. different chick went &...
Yay!! ❤️ Can you guess the breeds?!
My handy dandy awesome husband building their brooder!

You’ve heard it all.. “I’m new, yatta yatta.” Well, I reckon you gotta start somewhere. All help/suggestions welcome. :thumbsup
Soooo I know it’s probably bland & simple.. but we all ball on a budget at some point in our lives! Our main concern is safe, happy, & healthy...
Hey y’all! 🐔
