And I'm getting a much bigger round tank to set into the ground for their pond. But this is a good start!

Updating in case it helps others. I took our Pekin "Snowflake" to the vet yesterday and her infection was quiet advanced. We discussed injected antibiotics for a month and keeping her quarantined etc. But due to the extent of her lameness and size she wouldn't ever be able to walk well giving...

I should add I'm also using hay with the deep litter method. Is that the problem? I think the abrasions maybe coming from the oak leaves.

Bookmarking this as I may be in the same boat. I have one duck that's critically sick and has a large bumble on one leg plus a swollen joint on the other. As I'm watching the rest of the ducks waddle about I think I see more bumbles.... I need to check them closely when they are all locked in...

Thank you! I started the topical bumble treatment. Sadly I have the liquamycin but no needles... I'm Going to call the vet to make sure this isn't a respiratory issue too because of the foamy eye. I have a mixed flock of 50 chickens, 11ducks, 10 guineas and 4 turkeys. Can't risk something like...

Thank you! Isn't it odd that the bumble is on her "good" foot? Should I treat both feet for bumble in case? Would that be causing the green poops and swollen joint on the other side? As far as an antibiotic: on hand I have corrid and liquamycin. If anyone know if those would help and dosage I...

Bumping, ready to help her!

Other concerning symptoms: Green poop And one of her eyes has been foamy and teary. Any hope for this poor girl? She's quacking now and wasn't at first. Also eating and drinking still.

My pictures didn't work so here's another try: Swollen leg side: Good leg side:

One of my Pekin hens was badly limping. I separated her and noticed her joint (knee?) is swollen and warm. Her feet look a little suspicious. The one with the swollen joint has a small callus. The other foot has a larger one that could be a bumble. My feed store gave me two injections of...

My last picture was blurry. Here they are all together. Let me know if these work. THANKS!

Here are my five straight run Buff Orpingtons (although they seem dark but that's another thread). They are 11 weeks old. My Legbar rooster the same age has huge wattles, is crowing and clearly make but I don't see any of that on these. Could I have all pullets?

Bumping as I'm in the same position. Welsh harlequin drake, almost 1 year. Pekin hen that's 7 months is his partner. Then we have 14 X 2 month old ducks (2 WH hens and 12 Pekins that are straight run). Our drake has pinned the Pekins, pulling out feathers and trying to mate. We keep them divided...

So wonderful! Do they eat next to each other? I have been feeding the dogs all separately since they are all still getting to know each other. We've had the puppy just over 2 weeks and Bo came home Friday! It's going really well though I would say. The first night Bo was doing the escape artist...

Thanks! It's a work in progress but really coming along nicely!! These are great ideas! Alright. The RIR gets another chance. Their free range space just got MUCH bigger so maybe that will fix it. By the end of next week it will be the full 2 acres (although I'll keep the netting for dividers...

Great dog! These are great tips too, thank you! But how on earth do you correct the chicken? I was considering either confining her in a separate coop or making soup! There are two hens that peck but one RIR is the instigating bully. Our new dog Bo is a huge pyr/Antolian. 4 years old. Today a...

Thank you! I have her separated now and we also just found a four year old pyr/Antolian poultry dog. I know I need to keep them close but separate from the flock until we train him to accept this flock as his own which takes a couple months. At that point would he keep the puppy in line so they...

Thank you so much for your input! Alright, I made her a separate area and she is doing fine. Still next to the flock and has her house for warmth and shelter. I found a 4 year old pyr/Antolian that is already with chickens, dogs and children. The owner had goats but is wanting to slow down so...

I definitely understand that she needs training and have done a lot of reading on that part. I guess my specific question is how much space should she have? I have nearly 2 fenced acres. I could net off the poultry and have her in a big area. Or would it be better to have a big kennel in the...

Closer to two acres in total.
