I have 2 female Dewlap toulouse and two ganders. Both females layed a clutch of eggs this spring and between the dog eating them and the fact that they did not seem fertile non hatched although both sat for quite a while. I just found my dog carrying a goose egg around. I took it away and...

I recently changed all of my coops to nipple waterers. I built a PVC apparatus that seems to work quite well. My birds seem to be doing fine on it. My question is simply a curiosity and hoping someone knows the answer. When I had the typical plastic and galvanized waterer I seldom acutally...

Sorry I know this information exists but I spent about twenty minutes searching (beyond my limit) and did not find the information on the best and most economical way to set up a bucket with PVC pipe. There was a information on the best part to use in the penetration of the bucket. If anyone...

I would like some input on game fowl cocks. I see some very nice Hulsey game chicks over on eggbid. I am not really intersted in breeding these birds but find them awesome to look at. I would like to sort of let them have the run of my barn and after I finish with my breeding pens, on the...

I have a gaggle of four geese one gander and three females. The have always hung out together but now one of the females is hanging by herself mostly and appears to have built a crude, somewhat happless nest. It is kind of pitiful but clearly a ring of leaves grass and sticks. I have not...

For the second time this year I have had my incubator go cold for a long time. This last incident, my incubator was cold for 36 hours. My basement is at about 58 degrees and the bator was at that temp when I discovered the problem. I had staggered hatches in the sportsman and had one tray...

I have a SLW pullet that went broody a little over a week ago. I gave her some eggs and she set tight for a while. She is in a larger pen by herself and I decided to put a couple of eight week old chicks in with her. Well it seems she has now taken them over and has left the nest, which is...

I have four giant Dewlaps and one is a bit more mature a bit bigger and has a more pronounced dewlap. I walked into the barn tonight wearing a head light and it seems it spooked all of them as they have not seen it before. The one that looks the most male ish to me came toward me and hissed...

I have four of the giant Dewlap Toulouse geese, they are about 6 to 7 months old. Only one shows any real dewlap at all the other 3 have really not begun to get one as of yet. When should they really start to display this dewlap. I know everyone will ask for pics and I will see if I can get...

RANT Some of you may recall the piece ( don’t really know who they are) done by certain football broadcasters this past season and they called it C’mon man! I hope I spelled it well enough for everyone to get it “Come On Man” This is my rant about admittedly petty observances regarding...

I have a freind that brings wheat bran to me in large enough qauntities to have a positive effect on my feed bill. I have no idea about the nutrional value of it. I am not sure it will be high on their list in terms of palatability it is very light I guess I can look it up but wondering if...

I moved my incubator to the basement and of course all of the outlets down there are Ground fault outlets. I know that these can be faulty sometimes because I cant figure out why one would pop with a sportsman incubator on it. It was running this morning but must have been off for some time...

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing...

I have a broody in my laying coop. My laying coop has a number of (seldom laying) Wheaten marans that I want to hatch. I only have the opportunity to collect eggs once per day, at the end of the day. Every evening when I gather eggs my broody is sitting on a few eggs. I take them from her...

I was loading the 1202 this morning as I have beens saving the RIR eggs for about a week now. As I was sliding them in something happened and the rack fell from my hand, needless to say 48 broken eggs. Well 44 but I think the others were likely jarred so decided not to set them. Should have...

I have four Dewlap Toulouse, they are about 7 months old. One is larger sort of seems to be the lead goose and has a more pronounced dewlap than the other three. Do Ganders start with that dewlap earlier than females? Thanks for any response

I have a pen of pullets that has both Wheaten and black Copper in them. There is only one rooster and he is a Wheaten. I have not yet put my breeding pens together but am starting to get a nice bunch of eggs. If I hatch these will I be able to tell which are Wheaten x Wheaten from Wheaten x...

Hoping this image comes up I am trying for the first time to post a pic and not sure how I did. This is a SLW pullet that I got from Backwoods poultry farm. I beleive but am not sure that this is Bill Braden's line I did it. May try to post a pic of the roo as well, and a couple of RIR that...

I have an awesome SLW rooster and several BLRW pullets. I will not have a BLRW rooster for some time to come. I think I might breed the SLW roo to the BLRW pullets and hatch some of them. I have no interest in breeding them again or developing anything from it but both varieties are so nice...
