Darn geese stopped laying for the past three days

They are also wandering and I don't like it. My property abuts two roads, one a very slow dead end and the other a slow dirt road. The were in the dead end road yesterday. I don't like that, no matter how quiet it is. They're heading for getting themselves locked up.

Better news though is that I'm fairly sure the egg I did get and set is fertile and developing!

since they are wandering she could have a nest in the woods

may want to lock them up anyways

congrats on the one fertile one!!!

Or one with a death wish.

probably just a little sadistic, and enjoy the dull pencils too much....

Luckily with all the snow she can't have a nest elsewhere, but I really don't care for the wandering, lol.

@WalnutHill

Can you tell me about these birds?

Congrats and sorry! That's something I would do! In fact, the other day I happened to catch a hen in the act of laying her egg, she's one I wanted to mark which chicks came from her... I waited til she popped it out, grabbed it up, turned and smashed it right into a roost...



Hope all went well and it helps...
Tell him if you can't dispatch and process, then he needs to build them their own bachelor pad and they're his responsibility...
Awesome!!!

My crazy Ohiki broody that's been glued to the shavings bag on my porch hatched hers, lol... I meant to swap eggs out, but I didn't think she would actually stay after all the storms threw chit at her all the time... nope, she never budged!
Great idea! And makes sense since we all end up glued to the bators with our faces in the windows, lol...
Now maybe you'll pass me in post count on your own thread...
Ain't that the truth... :/


Good to hear from you... hope things are getting better...
Nope, absolutely not... if they test positive or they order a depopulation on suspected infection, they are put down and buried immediately... the reason it's such a scary virus is that it is susceptible to mutation to human contamination... *could have* the ability to infect people from chickens, also called a zoonotic disease...
JACK!!!!!!

And he dumps off the 'well known breeders' line and keeps my own line... must have excellent taste...


Me and my big mouth... I seriously only knew of 1 Ovate on that after that happened, lol... it got so quite on there for a while I thought I ticked everyone off...
Funny... I was told it sounded like I was having a bad day and should come back the next and hope it was a better day...

For a post made when I was supposedly PMSing, looks like a few agreed, lol...

Oh lets see, multiple answers...

Bummer on that broken egg too. Surprised I didn't do that with my blue cochin that I waited so long to identify her egg too!

Doesn't matter who has the highest post count! One big happy family. I just like to give you chit about it.

Agree, ohiki pics are needed. I just love my little lone girl. She's a sweetie.

No Call pips yet, but lots of drawdown. I'm glad there's no pips yet. I do still have to work tomorrow!

And I wanted to tell that dude that he hasn't even scratched the surface of one of your bad days.

Both, cause she has his address now.

Some days I wonder...

lol that stinks that you smushed a prized egg 
thats what will be happening, but our empty coop has no power and therefore all waters would freeze 
where are your pictures of broody and babies?
thanks, i read up a little more on it, but was still uncertain
you wrote it well but she hasnt been back on since that

Funny, I have multiple pens and not one heated waterer...

Eventually I'll get pics...

Sad about Welshchick... by the time I posted, they had already gotten 'please try to rehome' so many times I think it was too late...

Dang on the goose eggs, but yay on the fertile one! I feel your pain on the eggs, the 1 Cemani that was laying sporadically decided to go broody... the others are still no go... :/

Glad the Calls are waiting for you, lol...

I've pulled 3 empty shells from my broody, and can feel tiny legs under her, but she isn't letting the little ones peek out yet lol
