    Free Roosters!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Here's a funny story. Well, it is for me anyway! I order all my chics from Ideal. Well, I lost a few on the first batch and called Ideal to replace them. They sent me five times the amount of chics I had asked to replace. So I was all excited thinking I have at least a few pullets in the bunch...

We have one more cold night and maybe they will be back out tomorrow. They sure did make a big mess when they are inside. I have to put them in a rubbermaid...

    :| I can't figure it out! I have a pair of Toulouse geese. One is very active. I have always noticed the other has a problem walking. It looked like the goose was clumsy and couldn't balance.

    Young geese getting out of the house!

    I am down in extreme south Louisiana. I was just wondering when is a good time for geese to get out of the house and into the chicken yard. They will not fit in the brooder! I have only had them a couple of weeks but they look older than 2 weeks! About 10 inches tall. And they make a big mess...

    Any recommendations for a good poultry magazine?

    I have Countryside which I really enjoy. I received a copy from Backyard Poultry which seemed like a really good magazine. I am just wondering what everybody else is reading before I subscribe to Backyard Poultry. Thanks for any help. Happy Valentines Day!

    My baby chics made it through a cold night. I have the light on them. They are doing fine. I was so happy to see that they were not bunched under the light. It must mean they are warm and don't need it. With all the bad luck I have been getting, this was a sigh of relief. I just hope the...
