I have a duck who has a broken ankle joint and can’t walk on it at all. When I gently feel around I can hear the bones crackling. Any advice on how to splint it?

No guesses pretty please, need an experienced goose owner to help a gal out. I actually have two Brown Chinese Geese but this is the one that sits in my lap and lets me take all kinds of pictures. 😝🤣 They should be two years old now, and no eggs that I’ve seen, and this one in the picture has...

So my flock has grown, and I need another option besides big vet bills when things like worms or coccidiosis come up. I just need some opinions and tips on finding a good microscope and how to distinguish the different parasites. Thanks y’all! :) @casportpony @dawg53

So this is day 5, and she isn’t getting any better. But she’s not really getting any worse either. When I looked over her symptoms, I immediately started treating my whole flock with 2 tsp of Corid per gallon (especially since I’ve been bringing home new hatchery chicks). I was almost 100% sure...

I'm trying to figure out exactly what these tiny little critters are. They don't look like any of the pictures I've seen online. I guess it doesn't really matter because what I got to treat my flock and coop kills both... I just don't know what these are or where they came from. Here's the...

*Sigh...* And we have mites. Everywhere. No snow here in Georgia, just some comfortable cooler weather -- perfect for mites. At first I thought the chickens with ruffled, picked feathers were just getting bullied, but I took a closer look and saw lots of mites around the vent area where the...

Gucky (my 2-year-old female Welsh Harlequin) injured her foot somehow and I'm still trying to figure out what happened. I noticed that she was limping and that it was swollen, and decided to keep her penned up for a few days. The swelling went down and she seemed to be doing fine so I let her...

I'm not exactly sure what this is, but it's a dark, raised lump on my Pekin drake's bill. I'm wondering if it might be the start of Fowl Pox. It just showed up recently. Any ideas?

I have two guinea hens sitting on nests and I know where one of them is so far. She's sitting on 14 eggs (I have candled them and all are alive). They could be a mixture of Pearl and Lavender guineas. Price is $3.00 each (minimum of 10 keets) plus shipping (USPS Priority Mail $15.00). I am...

These little cuties survived hurricane Irma and hatched 9/17/17! Mama duck (Gucky) wouldn't sit on the eggs if I moved her, so I had Heather (wannabe mama) egg-sit them in the garage during the hurricane. Gucky took her nest back afterwards. There are 5 ducklings, and somehow 2 guinea eggs got...

Daisy (my 2 year old Welsh Harlequin) has a hard, bulging cyst below one of her eyes and it seems to be getting bigger. I'm thinking that she scratched it with a dirty web, causing it to become infected (probably doesn't help that she swims in a pond, either). There is some occasional white...

One of our dogs broke loose and attacked Heather just a few minutes ago. :( She was sitting on a clutch of guinea eggs in the bushes in front of the house. She has a puncture wound near her lung and she's wheezing and struggling to breath. I'm not sure what I can do for her for tonight until I...

I have three Rhode Island Red roosters that need new homes. They are about 20 weeks old and are beautiful and healthy. They are very large and handsome and would be great for breeding. I would hate to get rid of them, but we just have too many roosters. They are from a healthy free range...

Our neighbor gave us some day old baby keets yesterday, and I noticed that one of them is having a hard time getting around. I thought she was just weak from hatching, so I gave her some sugar and ACV water a couple of times with a dropper since I didn't have any nutri drench laying around. I...

I got 3 double yoker eggs over the course of 5 days a few weeks ago. The shells were huge! I was kinda wondering before they were cracked. They sure were tasty too! :drool About a week ago I got another huge egg. I candled it, and I could see 2 yokes when a move it around a little. It's...

It only lets you use the emojis from the list on the desktop version, you have to type it in on the mobile version, and it's hard to remember them all. So I put the list in order and took a screenshot. I made it easier for you, all you have to do is save this image. You could make it your home...
