I got two goslings last week and they have taken a turn the past couple days. I know that preening themselves and others is normal but they seem irritated and itchy. One has a perpetual wet spot on his back even when i dry him off he fusses with it almost immediately. The girl plucks her wings...
Thanks for the reply! We moved her into the coop with most of her eggs (there were at least 20) and now shes frazzled. Hoping she will relax and get back to nesting. We are probably going to hatch a few chicks with her if she doesnt break now. She was very passive. No pecks, just a little noisy...
So we have a small flock of four, two rir and two leghorns, they get along pretty well. One of our reds went broody this week and has started nesting in the thick redwood patch on our property, far from the coop. Its going to rain soon and i dont want to leave her there. Were thinking about...
I Just built an incubator (Quite well if i do say so myself) that i am planning on filling pretty soon so if i get the eggs by then We can be hatching buddies
I recently moved and had to sell all 5 of my girls. But I'm hoping to start back up again with a new flock! Good luck to you
