I also use Colliodal Silver. 20 to 30 drops per gallon of water (500 ppm colloidal Silver). For very sick chicks, i dose them with a dropper with a little higher concentration. I have heard some people use silver as a preventive measure as well. This in addition to the corrid, saved my flock...
She had a twisted neck, i believe she was deformed in the egg. We did everything we could. I force fed her the first day thinking that would get her going and she would grow, but she never did. She would drink a little, but would not eat on her own. Her sister is lonely. I can't find any...
Update, Metzer refunded my money for the gosling. She is still alive, but not hopeful that she will live. She only drinks and will not eat on her own. I have force fed her and she is not much bigger than when we received her a week ago. I should probably cull her, but she is not in pain. She...
The one holding her head up really straight, is the healthy one. The one that is scrunched up is twisted. She will hold it up and then get tired and hang it down. Thanks to everyone for your advice. I know she will make it, I just want her as healthy as possible. We have been waiting since...
Normal one
Thank you. I am trying to get her to eat, but they are both just drinking. I have been mixing food, saveachick, vitamin b, vitamin e and nutritional yeast into the drinking water. Just trying to get vitamins into her.
I just received a gosling with a twisted neck from Metzer. I ordered 3 females and received just 2. Not sure if the quality of the geese has anything to do with the fact that the geese did not lay well and they have not been hatching well. I am at a loss as to what to do for this sweet girl...
I just received a Roman Tufted Gosling that was shipped from Metzer. It arrived with a twisted neck. Is it too young to have a vitamin deficiency or could it be from its position when growing in egg, or damage from being shipped? Can I do anything or should I wait a couple of days and see if...
I had ordered from Metzer last year, but did not like that it took 3 days to get Alabama, so I ordered from Murray Mcmurray. To my dismay, i just got a shipping confirmation and they just left California! I hope that they get here in 2 days this year. I hope that it was slow last year due to the...
I am having a problem with tapeworms. I just dewormed them yesterday with Zimecterin Gold and have read that a preventative measure for worms, is ACV (apple cider vinegar). I make fire cider. Fire Cider is ACV infused with tumeric, garlic, horseradish, peppers, lemon grass, and cinnamon. Has...

Yes, I treated the coop and the area. I opened the waterer and there was what looked like black mold. That is the first time I have ever seen that. I usually refill every 2 1/2 weeks. They are lethargic. One looks like it has bumblefoot, the other ones feet are fine. I was going to soak her...
I have 2 Silkie hens. They are a year old. I have found them both in the pen on their sides, not really able to walk. One had mites. I got rid of those. Her vent is clean. The other, the vent is clean, no mites. They won't move all day. I have to force them to eat. No worms in poop. Does...
What a sweet duck! That is interesting. I felt like she was so relaxed that she just let one go just like you described with your duck. They are free range and I feed them ground up egg shells and no other girls are laying soft eggs, so I am perplexed. My son told me to quit holding her...
I have the friendliest white leghorn. She comes to me when I am in the fence and pecks my leg until I pick her up. Two days in a row, she has fallen asleep in my arms and lays a soft shell egg that falls to the ground and breaks. Has this ever happened to anyone? Is there something wrong?
