I'm thinking about getting a few geese but i have a few questions:
1.Are they protective?
2.Do they get along with chickens and dogs?
3.How can you tell if they are a boy or girl?
4.Can you create a bond with them like chickens?
5.Can they fight off some animals?
1.I think they can sit on as many eggs that fit under them.
2.I'm not sure.
3.Yes all you need is chick starter.
4.They would probibly jump out when there dry and stronger.
5.I would seperate them to take extra percautions.
You shouldn't be sorry about questions cause there are still a lot I...
On Sunday and Monday 2 of my chickens got eaten by a skunk. We caught the female but the male is still out there. My chickens sleep in my grandpa's wood workshop now but I think the skunks hole is right by the workshop. WE caught the first 1 in a cat trap but the second im afraid might some how...
Some people here told me that you can mix almost any kind of bird with chickens except turkeys and gueinas because they could give your chickens a desiese.
I lost a rooster last year due to the heat. Some people said that to avoid this happening again I should give my flock more electrolites. Also I find leaving frozen water bottles around my chicken coop helpful, when they get to hot they like to lie next to them.
I heard something a while ago that you should feed meat birds scratch because it makes them fatter. I dont know from experience because I dont eat my birds.
I'm sorry for your loss. I've only lost 1 chicken last year because the poor thing got over heated. I hope you do find out what the cause of death was for your birds.
I'm so happy! Today was the first time I got an egg in so long. Also we got a squarl feeder so that maybe they'll leave my eggs alone and so far its working.
Well if your chickens were around 20 years they might have just grown old. I read something saying that a normal lifespan for a chicken is 15 years. I dont know what else is could have been hope this helps a little.
