so I took the little dude out yesterday. Dad as very concerned about it when he started peeping. Set it on the ground and dad herded it into the house away from me. Moms and babies came out to check it out. Everything good. Babies show it where to eat. Moms let it take a nap. Everything looks great. Fast forward 5 hours and the older goose snaps at him. Dad joins in. Now he's an intruder. Back he goes in the brooder with a bunch of EEs. I knew it was too easy. He'll be tame by the time he goes out.

It’s too bad the integration didn’t work out @Percheron chick At least he has some EE buddies to keep him company. Sure is a cutie.

Kaylee gave me a bit of a scare this morning. I couldn't find her or her chicks in the coop. Turns out she took them outside for the first time. Kaylee has been a really good mom. She is normally very timid but she has been attentive and protective of her babies. She even pecked at one of the older ducks. None of the chickens ever do that. She also adopted one of the Wellsumer/cross chicks that I put out in the coop a couple days after I gave her the original three so now she has four.

Hello from the western slope of Colorado delta county! Hope everyone has been enjoying the weather. I am having respiratory issues in my chicks-purchased this year from Murdoch's- ratlled breathing and sneezing. No discharge of eyes or nose. One on my light brahma air sac? -in front of her Meyer behind the nostril- inflates and deflates with breathing? Any advice

Discovered that Epiphany had been hiding eggs and decided to start sitting on them on Sunday. I just checked them this morning & they’re developing. I’m kinda in shock because my cemani hens have never been seriously broody and I wasn’t planning of having chicks this year. Not sure what I’m going to do now.

Welcome. I’m sorry you’re having problems. I’m having trouble understanding what you’re saying about the Brahma and Meyer(?).

What kind of bedding are you using? I’d give them some nutri drench in their water to help boost their immune system.

Those broody hens sure like to go by their own schedule don’t they. If any chicks hatch maybe you could sell them. Don’t know how you feel about that.

I hate autocorrect. If front of her eye and behind the nostril. I have switched their bedding a couple times. First was hay then was straw now is shavings. What is nite I drench and where can I find it?
