Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I've got a turkey who recently started to set in what is about to become a work zone. Is it possible to move her and her eggs, or will she just abandon it. She is on the ground, not in a box of any kind.

Thanks for the advice. I free range, so whenever hens have set they were far away from others. This is the first time one has ever set in the henhouse. I will try to identify the original eggs. My backyard chicken friends always steer me right, thanks again.

Ok, I ve got a Silkie that started sitting. Soon after, a dog got in the henhouse and ate her eggs. The next day she laid another egg and started sitting. I gave her an Americauna egg to go with hers and she readily accepted it. She goes out to eat first thing in the morning then it's right...

We bought 3 wyandottes last fall and 2 of them have already been broody, 1 has already hatched 2 clutches. She is a good little momma. My silkies have never been this broody.

After some research I think she's a blue old English game bantam. She hasn't grown much, flies well and loves to be handled. Nice little lady.

Thanks for the help

I got some free goose eggs and this wonderful creature was the only one to survive hatching. I've been comparing it pictures on the internet but can't quite nail it down. This is our first goose and it is loaded with personality, or is that goosinality?

I was trying to get just her and silkie for size comparison but all the ladies were wanting a piece of the action.

I don't see any color variety on google that looks like mine, of course, Google doesn't know everything.

When I bought some silkies this spring this little girl came home with me, too. I have no idea what breed she is. She has grey plumage, legs, and beak. It looks like she's half pidgeon. This is the smallest chicken ive ever seen.

So begins the addiction, don't say you weren't warned. Soon you'll have fowl all over the place. Enjoy your new friends.

An update. I tried to remove the egg membrane stuck to the one goslings head and a lot of ot was too much adhered to get off without risking bleeding. Unfortunately, that Gosling didn't make it through its second night. The one with what had appeared to have a deformed neck and leg straighted...

Thanks, I will try it. One appears as if it has a neck problem, hopefully it will be able to stretch it out, I can't imagine life in an egg.

So I peeled the shell off the best I could, some of the membrane was stuck to its head, didn't force it of for fear if bleeding. I have another who was in the same stage but started a day later so I helped it out as well. They are both moving around the incubator, they look weak and I am not...

It is American buff

This is day 31

I am new to geese. We are just hatching out our first goslings and are so excited. The first egg has had a window broken out for going on 4 days now. The chic is active and peeping. Is this too long? Do I try to intervene or let it go?

You say you have plenty of space so I suggest making your house and run larger than you need. Chickens are an addiction and you will soon want to hatch some of your own, explore other breeds or some other thing that will require more space. Easier to do it now than adding on. I started like you...

I started with a mixed flock similar to what you are describing. There was 1 barred rock in the mix and she was a sweetie and is now one of our elder statesmen. We also enjoy our Rhode island although one of them turned out to be a rooster that was particularly ornery and had to be deleted...
