Hi azelgin,
Thanks for your response. I left the eggs in the fridge for 2 weeks and they were still a pain to peal after I boiled them. Any advice on what I could do?
I've been raising 8 chickens for the past 4-5 months and I noticed that when I take their eggs and boil them, the shells don't come off very easily. In other words, the shell will come off in tiny little pieces and it becomes an extreme hassle to peal the shell.
I'm pouring the boiled eggs in...
Miss Lydia,
In the morning I release the four geese out of their coop, and during the night time they come back to the coop. During the day, I leave the door open so they can go in and out as they please.
Should I keep them separated and locked in the coop during the day?
Thank you
Hi Miss Lydia,
I separated the eggs three or four days ago, but both geese go the same spot (where they laid their eggs) to lay. They ignore the new laying area I set up for them. The ganders and geese get along with each other and I haven't seen any fighting.
The timing of when they go...
I have two brown Chinese-African geese and two white Roman geese and each pair has laid close to 6 eggs.
The two pairs lay eggs in the same area, do I need to separate the eggs or just leave them alone in the same place? I need to know if they'll go broody or not.
Thank you
Hello Everyone,
I had one more question. I have 4 Roehn ducks and they've started laying eggs. My african goose has also laid a good number of eggs. Is it ok if I put all the eggs close to each other? The duck eggs are smaller. I wasn't sure if the ducks and geese would be able to...
Hi RURU,
Yes, I'm glad that I caught it a little early and put him on antibiotics. I'll keep monitoring his foot and see if the black spot goes away/shrinks in size. My gander has little trouble walking in a straight line now, the limping is nearly gone. My goose never had this problem before...
The packaging says 7 days, but its only been 3 days and he's improved a whole lot. I'm sure that he can make a full recovery in the coming week! Thanks again Lydia.
Hi Miss Lydia,
Thank you for all your advice! It's been extremely helpful to a newcomer like me.
I put my male goose on some antibiotics and he's been significantly improving! He's putting all his weight on both legs, his limping is barely noticeable now. How long do you think I should keep...
I felt his feet and no place feels hard. He did flap his wings around when I picked him up, but he allowed me to place him into the water with ease. He was swimming for at least 10-15 minutes at any given time so I'll have to take a second look at his feet later.
I'll try the Epsom salt...
