Hi all- I have 4 WHs, two years old last August. From 6 months old 'til this late Summer/early Fall, they laid darn near an egg a day apiece; then they started molting and have really gone down in egg production. Now it's none to one a day- rarely, two a day. I feel like they've earned a rest...

Hi all, Free to good home... Sad to say, I'm starting to look for a more appropriate home for my White Chinese and Pilgrim geese. We live on a road with many walkers, joggers, bikers- and the girls are in a constant state of outrage all day! Their (and my) nerves would be happier without the...

My white Chinese and Pilgrim are so suspicious of anything new in their daytime area, they are avoiding the shade-cloth-covered place I have for them to get out of the sun. Their daytime area is an electric poultry-fenced lawn- no trees- that gets morning sun; and I need to let them out of their...

... and I still can't tell what I've got. (They're all 5 weeks old.) I think I'm so new to chickens that it's like a foreign language... just not making sense to me yet! Boy or girl? S/he's my favorite, I am very much hoping that s/he's a girl.... Thank you!

Has this happened to anyone else? My 5 Welsh Harlequin females, 3 1/2 to 4 months old, are very suddenly acting afraid of me and everything else. They've been super-calm and friendly; they have never wanted to be touched or picked up, but are very used to me, easy to herd in at night, not upset...

I've seen conflicting things in books, about whether they just shrug it off, or are really miserable. It's not usually super cold here- usually 40s - 50s in the winter, but quite wet. Just read Carol Deppe's great book, and she strongly recommends ducks for here in the Pacific Northwest... What...

Hi, all- I've just had these two adult geese (one white Chinese, one Pilgrim- both female) for a week. They're refusing to leave one tiny corner of their pen; they won't go out the open gate into a beautiful grassy area to graze. If I herd them out, all they want to do is run back in. They seem...

Hope I'm doing this right- with all these new birds, I've not taken the time to really figure out how to do BYC posts! Have had dogs and cats all my life, but no livestock ever- just had my first real vegetable garden last summer, and I'm 54 years old! I got 5 Welsh Harlequin ducks from Metzer...
