INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Chaos18]

Foggy to start the day then sunny and about 68*. The hens are finally starting to lay. I sell eggs to the guys at work to defray the cost of feed so winter time is hard on the pocket book.

Sorry it's taking so long to report the Internet is super slow tonight I can literally watched the words form after I've typed the whole sentence.

How was your weather I hear it was record highs for temperature or did I hear wrong

Yes it was a warm one today. Which was good because I was able to get stuff done outside with the latest coop expansion.

its,a goose.and I have an adult gander.Roman tufted.I had a pair.but before they where old enough to breed or lay eggs.I found her dead in the co-op.died in her sleep.but yes it will have me as its buddy.if it hatches

Man that's too bad on her dying. I had a real nice English Blue Orpington hen once she had just started laying eggs. I fed the group one Saturday morning and all was fine. Came back not an hour later to give them weeds from the yard and she had died. No idea why, a friend of mine said maybe heart attack. Really bummed me out.

Are the Roman tufted geese noisy? Do they get along with chickens. Do they need a pond?

I was able to move the NY Hal chicks outside to their new coop today. Their brooder was getting too small.

What do you guys make of this? I've never seen her feather pick, or be pecked at, for that matter...yet, the bare spot is getting worse. The skin is clear- no lice or mites, not irritated...

She looks healthy enough. And does not appear to need to hide her tail from the others. Boy you got me on this one. Did she ever have feathers there. Was it an area that a shell may have stuck on? How about using bacitracin?
