    Lost earing

    I lost a hoop earring in my chicken coop. Is it something I should worry about? I know it seems stupid to panic about this but I adore my chickens and don't want any of them to get hurt.

    Fighting Chicks!

    Fighting Chicks! My four Easter egger chicks that are 4-5 weeks old peck at each other and sometimes even fight over bugs such as crickets. Some times they flap their wings and leap at one another. Is this normal or are they fighting and how do I get them to stop fighting?

    Perfume?

    I had company over today. I didn't think I had to tell them to be mindful of the birds, but now I'm thinking different. If I go somewhere and someone has animals, I am mindful of that. My company today... decided to spray an abundance of perfume around my brooder! The smell of the perfume was...

Cayuga can lay between 100-150 eggs a year and swedish blues can lay between 100-180. Based off of this...

    Wild goslings on the roof.

    A Canada goose mom has hatched eggs on the roof of my school. There are 4 fuzzy goslings up there beeping around. They have water (some puddles) but no clear way down and no food. Mom's still around, I think. What would you do? Can goslings jump from a 2nd story roof onto sidewalk?
