    Will broilers withstand freezing temps?

    I usually go to eight weeks :) They're 6 weeks old. And no bedding in a tractor, they're just on the ground and get moved each day. Still okay?

    Will broilers withstand freezing temps?

    My cornish crosses have two weeks left, but we're supposed to get below freeing this weekend. They're in a low tractor with solid roof, but wire sides. Will they make it, or should I butcher them early? Please respond if you have experience keeping them outdoors in low temps... Thanks

    Comforting goose sounds?

    My baby geese (hatched 6/4 growing inside house in brooder) keep calling out. Is there some "momma goose" sound I can make back to them that they'll find comforting? I pick them up occasionally and let them cuddle and rest, but I want to be able to "talk back" to them too. OK, that sounds...

    Catching displaced geese

    Hi. I have never owned geese. I decided to get some to help alert me to predators in the yard and figured I would buy goslings and raise them up.
