Today I made an attempt to control myself. Today I failed to control myself.

First time hatching ducklings, the mother killed all of this one’s siblings prior to hatch so I removed this egg and did the rest. out of all of the eggs I was worried about this one because it looked super gooey late in incubation. This little one just hatched, is full of energy and pushed...

For anyone considering buying “Guard” geese to protect your flock, watch this first and then reconsider. Not my video, just found it on YouTube. Also TRIGGER WARNING the video involves the death of numerous chickens. The lesson. Geese will not and can not defend your flock. More info here...

On the first day of Yule the season gave to me One HORMONAL Flock! On the second day of Yule the season gave to me Darby & Strawby getting hissy and one hormonal flock! On the third day of Yule the season gave to me Three suspiciously stinky Delphi eggs, Darby & Strawby getting hissy, and one...

I’m looking for links for online formularies. I had bookmarked two but they’ve mysteriously disappeared and I can’t seem to find links for them here or elsewhere. So if anyone has any could you please share them?

Geese Reincarnated Gods Done with your bs but loves you anyway Judging you “Can I assist you with that?” Assists anyway Complex relationship with buckets, boots, and bales So soft Breeding season: Lemongrab from Adventure Time The source of most traumatic childhood bird phobias. You...

A friend and I were wondering a few things about the tissue necrosis symptom. Does injecting Tylan actually cause tissue necrosis? Do some birds get it and others don’t? Is there a way to avoid or counteract tissue necrosis from Tylan? If your bird got it how bad was it? Mild, moderate, or...

This is why I warn people about following advice they find on YouTube. A lot of it is either misinformation, outright bs, or abuse peddled by people who know nothing about raising animals. Be warned, this might be hard to watch.

I’m in a weird situation currently with my flock, this is an evolving situation so I’ll keep updating if or when something more develops. So some brief overview. I’m currently living with my parents. A former neighbor moved some property markers about the time she put her house up for sale, it...

One of my female geese “Tuesday, 2 year old Roman x Toulouse cross” has been panting for the last several hours and her feet and bill are hot to the touch, her heart rate sounds elevated but isn’t racing. At times I think her stomach hurts because she stands with her legs staggered at times...

I just found someone trying to sell two French Toulouse goslings on Facebook. The two geese in question are some sort of African or Chinese cross with whatever other breed. I said that they’re crossed and the seller denied it and posted a picture of the parents, which is a grey goose, could be...

Does anyone know of a supplier for these products in the U.S? Or is there a similar product sold here in the U.S? I’m curious after discovering these, typical avian probiotics I’ve found have a species count of as many as 9 to as few as 1 “squints darkly at you Sav-a-Chick.” AviGuard has 200...

I’ve been through a lot of vets the last few years, I know a good one “Dr. Smith” but she’s a 4 hour drive away ”one way!” and has a reputation as a good vet so she’s often booked up and it’s hard to get in when there’s an emergency. I think I know of all of the other vets that will see...

Just a reminder because I’ve seen so many times people suggesting to give niacin and only niacin when babies, particularly waterfowl, are having leg, immune, or neurological issues. Yes they need niacin in greater amounts than other poultry species and yes it is a common deficiency, but issues...

Just a tip for goose owners out there. FORCING A BIRD TO REGURGITATE IS RISKY AS IT CAN CAUSE THEM TO ASPIRATE! But If you can’t get them to a vet and if you need to do it in an emergency..... Method 1. Pick the goose up, hold them as far upside down as you can with one arm. Use your free...

Anyone know if there’s a vaccine for this thing available? Internet search has more or less failed me, various sites say there is a vaccine for some strains, but I can’t find where to find it either. I’d ask a vet but the only one I know that’s decent isn’t hardly available and the others are...

My gander Roxby is having issues again. He’s been off and on ill since March with some sort of recurrent neurological issue. As of August I seemed to have finally got a handle on whatever it was by treating him and the rest of the flock for coccidia and a gram positive bacteria “the vet wasn’t...

I don’t like just taking someone’s word for something, it’s caused problems for me in the past and let’s be honest, a lot of people spread bs around without realizing it’s bs, like the medicated feed toxic to waterfowl myth for example. So I was curious about Oxine’s supposedly curing birds of...

I’m planning on getting some heat lamps to keep my geese warm this winter, they have mycoplasma so extra heat is now a necessity on frigid nights. Any suggestions on good lamps? What do you use or what would you suggest?

My flock has confirmed coccidia and a gram positive bacteria the vet thinks is giardia, she wants to charge me $99 to treat the two birds I brought in but not the rest of the flock without her examining them, I can find the meds she’s prescribing for fractions of what she’s charging at CVS and...
