I don't have pics of his navel, but the backstory- a goose stepped on his egg while hatching, and the egg was bleeding. I found it, took it inside, and put it in my incubator. 24 hours later he was cemented to the egg/membrane.... I felt like I had nothing to lose if i tried, so using warm...
Hey all,
I've got a 2 week old African x Chinese gosling that had a yolk sac that wasn't completely absorbed when hatched. I took it to our avian vet today and was told there's an infection brewing. So vet said to do 5 days of oral Clavamox .50 cc 2 times a day. I attempted to give the 1st dose...
Update on my two Chinese from the original thread: They are both females, so we got a Chinese x African gander. Everyone is settled in and doing great. We hatched our first egg last week from this group. They are a quirky breed, but we love them.
Thank you! I was so afraid of them getting angel wing and have been watching them like a hawk (pardon the choice of words). I thought it was niacin deficiency that caused it, and made sure they had plenty in their feed..... I also didn't think it was fixable once it occurred. I'm glad to know...
Hey all,
I've had geese for a bit, but these are my 1st goslings. Approx 5 week old American Buff. Siblings look normal, but just in the past 24 hrs, this goslings wing tips have started coming out at an odd angle. If it is angel wings, do I splint? How do I splint? Do I need an avian vet...
Were you all/y'all aware there's finally a Coccidiosis Vaccine available otc? Has anyone tried it?
I have issues every spring/summer with young chicks that have Corid resistant coccidia. I order and give them Endocox.... and that works, but I'd rather avoid it if i could. I've talked to vets...
Hi everyone. :-) I'm going to be that person asking what color my roos are.
I want to aim for a Silver Penciled, single combed, Naked Neck (NN) in my long term breeding (for fun, my own birds)..... I have a handle on what I'm looking for type-wise and genetics around getting the NN gene...
My post was from last month, so not too long ago.😊That's awesome that you've known some personable ones. My two Chinese have settled in, but really don't seek out human attention. I got another free goose a week later, that was supposed to be a white African female, and he's definitely a gander...
Hi all,
I have a mixed flock of 40ish chickens - in 4 different houses, same yard..... 7 geese, 3 turkeys and 4 ducks.
I just had a routine fecal done on my chickens and it came back with roundworms (1st time for me). Vet said to worm chickens with Albendazole. 2 week egg withdrawal.
Question...
Hi, it's me again. Thank you for all the advice and support you've offered here!
My new goose has two broken nails on one foot- one of which is bleeding.... not profusely, but I've seen occasional drops of blood here and there. I'm pretty certain she injured them pacing the fence when she first...
