It appears his oil gland is inflamed. It was very dirty down there, like allot of ashes. They dust in the fire pit. He couldn't walk so I checked him out and cleaned him up. He is not sick, but seems to be in much pain when I touch his oil gland. Still can't walk. :( I've been putting...
She seemed fine fora couple of weeks. Never really 'bonded' with the others... She got very anti social and depressed and is now dead. Was eating, no ill effects, feather were shiney and clean. What could have happened???
Thats the only breed my farm store had and allowed me to just buy a couple. I managed to raise one up to an adult. A fox got one of them and a snake the other when they were smaller. The remaining one IS A HEN!!!!!! I have a black spanish Tom. Are the bronzes able to lay and hatch her own...
I thought this crap was curable, treatable??? Hes been on flagyl for 8 days and it just seems to be getting worse. I've been tube feeding him. He hasn't lost any weight and still has a strong crow. The cheesy stuff is hard and won't budge. His mouth is so slobbery. The smell is GONE. He...
should you soak it in water and tube dose them, or is it ok to just put in in there mouth and let it dissolve? Canker patient that has only been tube fed, but will drink water.
My poor main rooster got canker. My fault, kept letting those pretty morning doves hang out. Just needed to know If anyone knows if it is safe for ducks to drink the copper sulfate water???
Long story short. Guy came out to my place and bought ducks. He said he had a trio adult of turkeys that he wanted to rehome. Said my place would be wonderful for them, as we live on the end of a dead end road way out in the country. Turkeys raised with chickens and use to free ranging. He...
this dog has been in the woods for almost a year. Back in dec we tamed him and got him fixed. he has been in the house with our dogs and running free with all the poultry. For almost a year and he is only about a year and a half, seems young enough to train. all of a sudden he has killed...
I tried searching this. My Mom just passed and her wish was for me to take over her farm. There is a sulfer well in the back yard where the chickens and duckswill be staying. Is it safe for them to drink??? We had it running when I was a kid, but just to the house and to the livestock, never...
Was just wondering for those of you that have ordered straight run chicks... Has it pretty much been a 50/50??? Or have you wound up with more boys. Wondering if hatcherys might throw in a few extra males to get rid of them. Thinking of ordering the straight run heavys. Out of 15 I'd at...
You know how people feed their chickens ground hot pepper?? The chickens aren't supposed to 'taste' the heat, but they say it is good for them and it warms them up. What about ducks?? Its 10 degrees this morning with a negative wind chill. I put some ground habanero in warm water and watered...
Theres been this dog lurking in the woods and around my yard since about may. I've have a few instances were my cats would come up missing and then a couple that had obvious 'maul' wounds. Then one of my huge muscovies drakes was mauled, not dead. But he did die after I cleaned him up and...
By this stray dog whos been lurking around. I thought Lou~King was going to be ok. I gave him a warm shower, cleaned his wounds, dried him off and put him in a clean dry cage for the night with food and water. He was dead this morning. I'm so upset. The dog is wild. We can't catch it and...
I just got her nursed back from a coon attack, now this... At first I thought she was sleeping with her head under her wing. When I got closer, she was headless.
