My first goose egg? Or a double yolker duck?

[livininbrazil]

hmmmmm interesting ... yes they are the first on this land lol my first flock and i added the ducks then the geese now the new chicks - i grew up in 4-h with all sorta stuff but that was at my parents - and of course we wormed hogs and steers and my Mil lives just down the road but her flock has never been here - so yes completely virgin lol i dont even let anyone in my coop except me and my husband - no need to track any unwanted crud in from anywhere - its a chicken coop not a zoo .
i have wormed my dogs of course when needed but because of my free ranging chickens and other fowl i always made them do their business in a far corner of the yard and disposed of the feces and sprayed the area down . also in the warmer months - every week i take a hose to the whole yard as far i can blast the water i dispose of all the poo- dog chicken duck and goose... lord it takes i bet 2 hrs .... ive never seen anything in the poo but maybe your right and since they arent laying i should ... ive gotten 1 egg in 3 days now from all 13 of the BRs grr drives me insane !!

Well, sounds like you´re not running much risk of them getting worms from other birds, well done. Where we live there´ve been chickens and cows and everything wandering around on the land for a hundred years so I feel is important to worm them.
And I´m sure I´m the only person around here who picks up after the dogs. I have 6 of them and go around with a shovel collecting poop and then burn it on the bonfire with the rest of the rubbish. I also collect the goose and chicken poop, but it´s to make compost.
And I´ve been getting one or two eggs a day from 11 chickens! I keep threatening them that I won´t feed them any more nice food if they don´t earn their keep, but they don´t listen!

sooooo after they went on complete strike - 1 egg every 3-4 days UGH so i figured yall might be right and they are on strike so eh couldnt hurt right ? so i went to the feed store to get some wormer - but because i have waterfowl too and no way to separate them they were pretty much no help and so iffy on the products i decided to call my Vet who also does livestock and he sent me wormer in the mail - yay i didnt have to drive to get it .

and they have been on it a day and a half - they have 2 more days on it - buttttttt even in the coldest days on record in years Ohio

great! Cook the eggs and feed them back to the chickens to build them up, not to waste them.
