    Help Baby goose is not eating/ drinking and is shaking.

    Does it sit under the heat lamp? Hate to say it but sometimes hatchlings just die. It's part of it.

    Free Ranging

    When they figure out that there are lots of bugs under the leaves in the woods, they will go in the woods. In the woods they are in big trouble. That's how it is in Missouri anyway. I have a fenced in yard that is 200 x 100 feet. Kinda like free ranging. Only have to worry about bop.

    Is anyone around an expert on brown chinese geese?

    I'm in on this thread. Brought five home and in the brooder. We lost our geese two winters ago in a freak cold snap. Last year the hatchery didn't have any but this year I found a hobbyist. Fifteen bucks each.

    Little Giant

    I was gifted this incubator, or more like saved it from the garbage. It was literally in pieces. But it had the fan and egg turner so I thought, maybe I can fix it. New plexiglass, lots of drilling, jb weld, and finding missing screws it is up and running. Oh...and lots of soap and water...

    HEAT LAMPS

    My brooder is about 3x6 with 18 chicks right now. I run two lights, not because I need the heat, but in case one burned out while we are at work.

    Snow goose

    If it is a snow goose, let it go, it is probably sick so you don't want to eat it (they are good) and you don't want it making you birds sick. It is basically open season on them here because there are so many...

    Zero Eggs

    I currently have 11 hens and got nine eggs this evening. They have plenty of egg layer feed, a clean coop, have finished molting, and a double sunlight led light comes on at 2 am.

    How can I scare away starlings without scaring my chickens?

    In MO it is open season on the European Starling. They are displacing our songbirds. Kill as many as you can with a shotgun, the chickens could care less. We shoot all the time around them...and I mean alot.

    What killed my chicken?

    Sounds like an owl...or a hawk that was scared off before it finished eating.

    ive got 6 roosters dead for 24 hrs

    I have shot deer and had a heck of time finding them, brought them home, cleaned them up, and never had any problems after 24 hrs. Of course it was nice and cool/cold out.
