How long is a chicken's laying season?

A chicken's laying season is all year long, although may slow down in the winter time due to shorter days. If the hen lays enough eggs where she feels there are enough for a 'clutch', her laying will stop as she prepares to incubate and hatch her brood, which generally takes 21 days. After a few more weeks, she will start to lay eggs again.

How many different types of meat can you get?

With chickens and poultry you have two types of meat quality available. The white meat comes from the least muscled parts of the bird like the breast.

How many miles do geese fly a day?

Depends on the goose and his/her purpose for taking flight. Geese often take a short trip around the neighborhood to check out local ponds to see what is going on. A trip for food or to meet up with the flock may be a trip that is only a block or two...some families don't fly anywhere in a day or even a week if they've found a comfortable spot.

As far as migration in concerned, they can fly up to a few hundred miles a day, saying the flock is healthy, well-fed, properly hydrated and no members suffer with illness or injury. It also depends on how far away if their winter/summer home is from their present location. Some geese do not migrate at all for the winter. Migration depends on the preference of the flock leaders and their assessment as to if every member is up for making the trip.

Are Canada goose mammals?

Canadian Geese have a tendency to defend against humans when they feel themselves or their goslings to be threatened. First the geese will stand erect, spread their wings and produce a hissing sound. Next, the geese will charge. They may then bite or attack with their wings; wings are strong enough to break a human arm, and their bills can do a lot of damage.

Do Canada geese hibernate?

Yes, they do. They tuck their beaks under their wings and rest their heads on their backs. Their eyelids are white, so if you look at a resting goose and his/her eyes are white then they are sleeping. Canadas sleep on water for protection, so no land-based predator can get at them. But keep in mind that even with flocks that are resting or sleeping there are always a few that are still awake, protecting the family.
