My 20 1/2 week old hen seems sick. She has a paler face and comb then normal and seems lethargic. I’m not quite sure what is relevant so I’m just going to add more information. Seems to be eating Haven’t seen her poop since she got sick, will update with a picture when I can We do use a...

Goose house with a small run. We have a mountain property so nothing is ever even. Everything is sequels with quarter inch hardware cloth and an 18 inch apron at the bottom. The door you see goes up and we lock it at night but is a ramp during the day. We have a large door on the left side for...

Another question. I heard that full grown geese like to sleep under the stars. When they reach that age, can they sleep in the predator proof locked run with the door open to the house, or should they be locked into the house?

Yes! We have hardware cloth staked down going about 16-18 inches around the entire permitter. The area gets muddy so it’s kind of hard to see since it’s covered by some hay.

I have 2 embden goslings. I think they were the very last ones born in the area. They are right around 4 weeks (born 7/15). They have been having some play time outside since there were a couple weeks old (monitored) in the fence yard. We just finished their house and run a couple of days...

So I had emergency surgery to remove a failing/dying gall bladder at 23, so my experience may not be the same as others. Absolutely nothing fatty or fried. About a year later I was able to have more organic fatty food like peanut butter, but still have issues with anything fried. Some other...

Can’t help with the sexing, but I have 1 Speckled Sussex in my group of twelve 5-6-week olds and she is definitely the most dominant and curious of the group.

Marjorie is 6 weeks today. She is a columbian wyandotte. I think she might be a cockerel. What do you think?

I am a first time chicken mama, and my chicks aren’t even into the coop yet, but would it make sense to build a small extra coop and run? I am thinking something smaller on a temporary basis in case one gets sick or injured, we get chicks in the future that aren’t big enough to integrate...

Hello! My name is Jane, and I am a first time chicken mama living in Western North Carolina. I have 12 chicks, 4 dogs, and 2 cats. I am hoping to learn much more about chickens. I am actually kind of a data-obsessed person so I am creating a spreadsheet with about 81 breeds so far that...
