Went out to lock things in the pens tonight and noticed my Holdereed Buff Gander is missing half of his lower beak!! Tongue still there, but lower part of his jaw/beak is gone. He has been biting at the dogs when they get close to his pen, so I think he lost it to one of my dogs. BUT now what do...

My Prince Charming just got a bath in a natural flea shampoo and dusted with DE. He was crawling with mites and I had them on my sweatshirt too. It was disgusting . I have him sitting in the sun drying off and will start vitamins tonight. I will tackle the others tomorrow. Horrible!

I have Vaselined his legs, given him vitamins each night and put black shoe polish on his comb and the biggest spot on his wattles. I have also started putting an olive oil based product called ZonOx Oil, which is AMAZING and I use it all the time on my skin. Hopefully I will see some sort of...

I want a game cam now!!

I like that idea!

I like this idea, love wind chimes, and in Okla, the wind never stops here! Thanks

I lost 4 SLW's about a month ago. I found 2 bodies, one head-less, the other with wounds over the back. The other 2 I never found anything but a pile of feathers. I have seen a hawk around, and since this was in daylight hours, that's what I suspected. I lock the flock up at night but day...

New Photos added! Here's what the comb and wattle wounds look like today. This is after I have been treating it for over a month. I did scrape the scab off a couple times, then treated it but might have just made things worse. I have also added a photo of Prince Charming's feet which look like...

Every vet I have called so far just laughs at me! "What, you are bringing in a rooster? Sorry madam we only see dogs and cats. " Me: "I realize you are a small animal vet, but can you just take a look at my PRIZE SHOW ROOSTER, please?" "Ah, sorry we only see dogs and cats, madam"

Just wanted to post a quick update -- My gander is doing better. Still active, eating and free ranging just fine. He just looks like his beak has a couple of black bumps on it instead of a nice pretty orange color. But I guess it could have been much worst..

Not wanting to steal your thread, but I have a pair of Sebastopoles and a pair of American Blue Buffs, and the Sebastapole gander has gotten so nasty in the last two weeks. He has "stolen" the blue goose and chases the Blue gander away from everything, food, water, the pool.. I finally just put...

You are so lucky! I lost 4 of my SLW's to a hawk attack. I found 2 bodies, one headless, but two were nowhere in sight :(

I had the same problem over the summer when it was so hot. I started putting ACV in the waterer and that seem to help a lot. About 1 T. per 5 gal of water.

I free range everyday but all the poultry is locked up at night. I lost 4 hens a few weeks ago (hawk attack?) during the daylight and just feel better when everything is shut in at night. I have been doctoring the comb with a wound salve daily, and his waddle wound? is much large than the...

I am still doctoring this rooster. He is walking better, eating good. His head wound isn't much better, and the yellow spot on his waddles is big and swollen. What now? What am I doing wrong!!??

I think it was a dog trying to pull his head through the fence. This gander is getting very protective on his goose already and will even hiss and bite at my cogs when they get too close. I have been locking them up at night in one of the protected runs. He is out and doing well after a couple...

I am going to take some photos in the morning, doctor him again, then let him out with the flock. He is not happy by himself. He seem to have a couple of "Chunks" that were not coming off but will slough off eventually. I was just glad he was still wanting to eat.

One of my Sebasopols ganders was injured last night. Looks like something grabbed his beak through the fence and he has puncture wounds. I cleaned it with a wound cleaner but there are two big flaps of beak still attached I think I will need to cut off. The gander is still active, but I locked...

Just got my gallon of Oxine today. Will next some up and go to spraying everything I can find, I guess..

Any help?
