    I am thinking about getting geese.....

    Geese are extremely loud and will make your ears ring. Be prepared for that. I traded mine for QUIET muscovy and have been much happier since. My suggestion on geese is don't.

    emergency incubator question

    Miraculously the temp has been at 105F, I don't want to touch anything. Been checking every few hours. Fingers crossed nothing changes and lockdown continues as it should, closed.:fl:jumpy If temp goes up at all I'll try adding one more potty pad or maybe a pillow case.

    emergency incubator question

    I'm afraid "lockdown" isn't livng up to it's name. I gently picked them up and temped underneath this morning, placing back in same exact position. The temp reads 110F underneath/around them. With 3-4 turns a day they have kept optimal temp, but I worry without the turning I could cook them. How...

    House isn't soundproof in the least, so even if it's upstairs and I downstairs I can hear it no matter what. So still air will be quiet? :thumbsup:thumbsup

    Help needed - Hen not standing much

    Sorry for taking so long to reply but I'm almost positive that's SLM. You can't see some mites with your naked eyes and need a microscope. Soak her in a bucket for 15 minutes in DAWN dishsoap + essential oils whatever you have to fight mites, scrub with old tooth brush, also try vasoline or...

    Beloved perhaps slightly touched hen ate way too many rocks and afraid she'll die... now what?

    Life is precious, beautiful, and tragic all squished into one - save some of her feathers - in the meantime before we lose hope for your shooting star, check those feet, SLM sucks but can be managed with love and time, mostly time. I soak my girls in soapy water(DAWN + Bronners Tea Tree) in a...

    Help needed - Hen not standing much

    Could be scaly leg mites(SLM). Foot does not look it's healthiest and can cause pain therefore chicken won't stand. Check for bumblefoot on the bottom of foot as well.

    Beloved perhaps slightly touched hen ate way too many rocks and afraid she'll die... now what?

    Like humans, some animals don't know what's best for them, even if we guide them. They're cute and sweet, but after 6 years of farming and committing to chickens, I learned that sometimes it's best to let the little dinos go and work towards having a strong flock. You can't put a price on a...

    Howdy!

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I have been taking care of and loving chickens for about 6 years now. Was introduced by my fiance and I had NO idea I would love these little things so much. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? 23 + ducks (3) What...
