I never had a leghorn....maybe that isn't best word?

What I mean is, at first they were skittish and a little wild and would fly away (I clipped a wing so they wouldn't). The guy I got them from in Louisiana said they were "gamey"....I took that to mean their behavior, but he prolly meant their stance....I'm still a newbie at this chicken thing, it's only been a year, so my verbage might not be right, lol!

But like I said, when I worked with them they became more tame. Raven is almost a lap chicken now, she is that sweet. :)

Many of the pro's use Peat in their brooders instead of shavings. Heard lots of pros, few cons, but never tried it myself.

Also checkout @Blooie article on the MHP brooder approach...

Just a reminder your goose will need 28 days, a lower humidity until lock down and slightly warmer incubator. I will incubate ducks and turkeys at 40% and 99.8* as they need a bigger air cell, so I'm assuming it's the same for geese. @WVduckchick will know.

Good to know. I bought 10 poults today and 30 turkey eggs:lau. Among other things! Good thing i bought another incubator!:gig
