    Sebastapol Can’t Walk

    Thank you so much! He’s on an all flock feed and in good condition. We also rotate them often to keep them on grass. As much as you can in the wet winter anyway. He’s not eating much of anything at the moment so suggestions to encourage him to eat would be great! The symptoms came on suddenly...

    Sebastapol Can’t Walk

    Hello, all! Help, please! I have a 4yo sebastapol gander that is unable to walk. He has had trouble getting up and kicks his legs repeatedly but can’t get traction to stand no matter the footing. The right side looks worse as that’s the side he usually falls on. He looks completely healthy...

    Sebastapol Can’t Walk

    That was my first thought as well but I don’t see any discoloration on his feet or legs. I’ll get some pictures of his legs specifically this evening.

    Looking for Sebastapol Geese

    Good evening! I lost one of my two Sebastapol Geese today in a completely fluke accident. It looks like his wing got tangled up in the bottom of the trailer somehow, which resulted in panic. I'm so sad! The remaining goose hatched at the beginning of April and I would love to get her a...

    Coming Back

    Hello, all! I'd like to get back to regular visits with you fine folks as I am welcoming Sebastapol geese and Muscovy ducks to the fold this year. I've have one of nearly every imaginable breed of chicken for 8 years (who knew - I saw that when I logged in) and ducks on and off over that same...

    How Can I Get A Hen UN Broody?

    My Orpington sat on nothing or eggs that would never hatch (we do not have rooster) for at least 12 weeks. I would remove her and put her outside... It was not until I locked all of the chickens completely out of the coop/run while they were free ranging that she stopped. I did this for two...

    8 wk old chicken found dead

    It was a Maran that I lost. And now that I looked back they were just vaccinated for Mareks. So, I will start them on Corid tomorrow. If I lose any more, would you have many additional suggestions? Thank you!

    8 wk old chicken found dead

    Oh. Good thinking! I assume that I can feed that to all of them even if they don't have it. Is that right? I did notice some reddish stool - but thought I was seeing things - so, it could be.

    8 wk old chicken found dead

    Hello, all. This morning I found one of my chicks dead this morning. There were not any outward signs of illness nor did she appear "damaged" when I found her this morning. Any thoughts? Or suggestions about anything I should be doing for the others - who, again, appear just fine. Super...

    cutest chicken names!

    I named my Delaware 'Norma Jean'. Sort of after my dad, Norm, who attended the University of Delaware (whose mascot is the Blue Hen). I also impressed myself by naming my Blue Polish 'Lola'. I felt like she was like a showgirl with a headdress. You know, after the song... "Her name was...

    Sebbies in PA

    Hello, all! I am in Southeastern PA. Only 25 min from Delaware. I am looking to add some Sebbies to my home flock in the coming year or so. Does anyone breed or know of someone I can talk to. I am willing to drive. So, NJ, DE, Northern PA are certainly not out of the question. I'd love...
