I went out to fill the feeder so I had the feed scoop in my hands and the keys to lock in the other...trying to unlock the coop. I was up on a step and felt this BAM from behind on my legs! I lost my footing and got bumped off the step. It was so strong that I gripped the lock in attempt to...

I have done searches and not coming up with much information so I thought I would post. I have a 16 month old hen who has been loosing feathers. I came home today to find feathers everywhere and almost her entire tail is GONE! All but 1 feather. I thought there was an attack. Is it normal...

Does anyone in this area (south shore, MA) happen to have day old chicks I can buy from you??? Or does anyone ship day olds? My sweet broody hen needs chicks and I would like to help her out. Thanks!

Our broody won't quit. Is this bad for her? She is very thin and could she be getting sick from sitting all this time? This may be a silly question but where are those eggs she would normally be laying? I kept trying to discourage her and have been taking eggs out from under her for...

I have a broody sitting on one egg right now. I am going to let her hatch it out because the hen that laid it was killed. So anyway, that is why there is one egg. My question is, since I have one healthy hen and one healthy rooster do I really need to put the chick on medicated food when it...

This is the culprit who killed my EE a few days ago. I heard my rooster making distress calls so I ran down to see what was wrong. I turned and in the high grass were two pointy ears and two eyes looking at me, Very close. I had time to run in and get my camera. I got these pictures. It has...

I let them out for the usual hour of free time before coming in to roost. They live for this time to forage. I had to come in for a minute and when I went back out, all I saw were hundreds of white feathers just on the border of my yard but in the woods. There was a trail of feathers going...

I am looking for a crochet chicken purse pattern. Does anyone happen to have one? I have searched online and found chicken purses but they weren't crochet. Thanks!

I am going to plant around the run today and wanted to buy some Black eyed Susan's. SHould I buy Chamomile plants instead to be safe? Thanks so much!

Has anyone bought the chicken purse on my pet chicken website! It is the cutest purse and I really want to get it. http://www.mypetchicken.com/Chickenwear-Henbag_chicken_purse-P647.aspx

Mother hen hatched out 3 babies 10 weeks ago and now broody again. She won't get off nest and when I went to the feed store to buy some day olds, the woman said not to. She said they would kill the babies. Is this true? I don't have a way to separate them. Will they be jealous that their...

I have searched on this forum and googled and having a hard time finding the best place online to buy geese/duck feed. Does anyone have any good recommendations? Thanks!

This is the picture of the geese their first day home. June 27, 2009 Pictures below were taken today, July 15, 2009 . 2 and a half weeks later. I am so happy with how much healthier they seem now. They are still terrified of me and I don't think that will change. Maybe it is because...

With all the heavy rains our easement was flooded so I let the new babies out of their enclosure for a swim. It was their first swim and did they LOVE IT! At one point they were all under water swimming so fast and splashing. It was funny, I couldn't believe it! They were truly enjoying...

I have posted pictures of these babies before but I keep wondering how old they are. Can anyone with more knowledge of geese than me take a guess? My guess was 5 weeks. I know it might be hard to tell from the picture. Thanks!

I have been to two feed stores trying to buy waterfowl food for 5 week old goslings and both places give me unmedicated chick starter. I asked them about the lower protein in the waterfowl feed and they say no they actually need a higher protein feed when they are young. Guess I have to...

I am trying to figure out the ages of these babies. I think they are about 6 weeks but thought it would be nice to compare to others who own Emdens and may have photos. I tried to google images but could only find full grown or day old baby.

We have some new gosling who are terrified. I do know of a mother goose, same breed, very large and seems very calm and sweet. Do you think it would be a good idea to purchase her and put her in with them? Do you think she will help them to calm down or add to their anxiety???? They are so...
