Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do. 
My goslings are nearly 3 weeks. They double in size every time I turn my back, but still not a single feather growing anywhere. It's possible a few are started on the wings, but mostly they are still running around in their gosling down onesy.
When do feathers come in? Do I need to continue to provide heat until they do? They don't seem to ever be cold. They don't really sit under the lamp. I have 3 American buff. I'm curious when they can go out to the big shed. I figure another few weeks when they have feathers, but is that gonna ever happen? Boy they are getting big and poopy, so moving them to a shed pen where I can start letting them range more will be nice, and easier on me.
They also run in terror and act like I'm gonna kill them until I give them a handful of greens, than they are fine until those greens are gone. They are silly critters.
