Hello all. I've been given a cygnet to rehab. I've been told it is less than a week old, mute swan, still has egg tooth. It could not follow the momma so it was abandoned. I believe it has splayed leg because it cannot walk. I scoots around a little, usually in a circle to the right. It...

I was given this Muscovy a few weeks back. He is young, not fully feather but pretty big. He was a runner and very skidish. He seemed to have wide stance but Muscovys do so I was not alarmed. Well, I've noticed that he is having trouble walking now and it gets worse every day. His legs are...

I have a very young Mallard duckling that had been abandoned. He is starting loosing his fuzz, It is on both sides of his body, under wings, on each side his tail and each cheek. I've rubbed him down with DE twice. I don't see any lice or mites. Anyone have any ideas?

I've got a real issue with mud. We live in the mid-south (mud-south), and have had my coops and pens for 4 years now. Never have we had such a problem as this year with the snow, ice and rain. I was taking the soiled hay from the coops and putting it in the pens, I thought everything was good...

I have a black Swedish mix with what may be a very unusual deformity. When he hatched he was normal looking. As he grew, his face became crooked. He is healthy otherwise with a good appetite. He is very smart with an awesome color pattern on his wings. Blue feathers and white tip feathers at the...

I posted this on the diseases/injury forum but didn't get very much help. I have a female mallard that was brought to me yesterday, she was found at a park being gang raped. Her neck is totally missing feathers but it's the wings that I'm worried about. Every one of her blood feathers have been...

A female mallard was brought to me today, she was found at a park being gang raped. Her neck is totally missing feathers but it's the wings that I'm worried about. Every one of her blood feathers have been broken. After washing her up, I had her in an outdoor pen and when I went out this evening...

I have a duckling that was given to me last night. He found it in a drainage ditch. Perfectly, just a couple days old. At first I thought it was a mallard, but yellow feet, long wide tail, yellow bill tip and too much yellow on face means not full mallard. I'm thinking Muscovy. Anyone have any...

One of my Cayuga/black Swedish duckling's face is changing shape. He was one of the first to hatch and he looked perfect. As they are getting older, this one bill appears to be turning to its right and is bigger than the others. I'm also starting to wonder about its eye sight. Hope these pics...

Smooshy has taken her babies to the pond and I'm a nervous wreck. I thought I had the pen secure so babies could not get out. Smooshy has tried for the few days to show them a way out, today she succeeded! What kind of mother would I be if I didn't judge another mother's decisions!

It's been a couple of years now since I have posted on the Geese forum. I've been busy the spring with a lot of ducks. My journey started 3 years ago with canada goose eggs. A predator got the momma so we gathered the eggs and put them in an incubator. One hatched and was such a joy to have...

I rescued a very sweet young Pekin duck yesterday. It's about 4 weeks I think. It has a bad compound fracture on one leg. Im a rehabber but this is something I've not been trained to fix. I'm taking it to a avian vet this afternoon. Anyone have any experience with this kind of injury? This...

I had been worried about my ducks with the oncoming spring weather. I have two sitting on nests. My muscovy is on day 27 and she has a mix of eggs under her. Well, a snake go into the coop just now. The other female, a very vocal black swedish was sounding the alarm. I ran out there to find...

I need advice. I have 6 domestics that I hatched last spring, 3 drakes and 3 females. The females are Pekin, Rouen and Black Swedish. The drakes are Rouen, Blue Swedish and Cayuga. I also have a female muscovy that was given to me last spring as a duckling. All 6 have been busy mating to...

I have 4 Canada goslings that I'm rehapping, they are 4 weeks old. One of them has started with some nasty diarrhea, clear water with chunks of yellow, eeew. It is not eating but will drink water. They are on 15% grower but I have backed down on the amount and give them plenty of grazing...

I have 4 canada goslings less than 2 weeks old. Two of them have developed tremors in their legs. They will sit down real quick when they start to shake. They are still eating and drinking good. They are on Dumor Chick Starter and free range about 2 hours a day. Any ideas?

3 weeks ago I hatched 8 Ducklings. One of them, a Black Swedish, has a deformed leg, totally useless. He has also not been growing as quickly as the others. I have him in his own enclosure in the house. He is very attached to me. Any ideas of what to expect with him? I realize he will...

I may have really gone of the deep end this time. Our Saria will be having her first birthday in May. Anyone have any ideas for a birthday cake/treat for a goose?

So I think our injured goose, the one attacked by our dog, has a leg out of socket. I' m going to take her to the vet. I don't have a crate, she's rather large, not crazy about being picked up, but the vet is only about 5 min away. Is it possible to restrain their wings with some sort of wrap...

My goose was attacked by my dog. She has a puncture wound on the inside of her thigh. I've cleaned it up and put lots of neosporen on it. Vet said that if it gets infected there are daily antibiotic injections I could give her. Isn't there something else, something to put in water maybe...
