    19 New Baby Chicks

    OMG Much to my surprise I have Fall Babies. I tried to get a photo with all of them in it but that was impossible. I just pulled them all out of the coop and put them in a nice big clean stall.

    I'm Freakin' OUT!!

    Just be "Very" careful with a syringe you can drown them very easily. It happened to me once and I still get all bummed when I think about it.

    What treats from the fridge do you feed your chicks, roos and pullets?

    Well I spoil mine rotten to the extent of shopping their friuts and veggies up then hand feed alot of them. They love corn! And I have been lucky that our local supermarket lets me take the corn husk Bags. There is always corn in them and my geese love the husks as do my horses. They also like...

    Geese training?

    Just wanted to let you know that I had to pin my Gander to the ground yesterday. I hope I did it right. He was coming after me so I grabbed his neck and scooped him up tightly against me. Then I flipped him over on his back and pinned him to the ground for about a minute. He was silent and the...

She has been confined for 5 days now as suggested. She has access to everything she needs. BUT she has not laid...
