    Shelter Strays... Help

    Hey I need some help trying to ID this rooster (came as a free chick with order last year). He's the guy in front here and in the background in the second photo. Not great, I know. Any ideas?

    Hen returned without her chicks

    I have a Spanish hen who hatched out 5 poults about 4 weeks ago. They've started escaping thier separate pen (going over the gate) in the last few days and rummaging around in my garden so I was planning on moving them back with the others this weekend. Well I waited too long. Last night they...

    Shelter Strays... Help

    Got a new one for you... this tiny guy came in as a stray. Holy crap he is adorable, fairly small and compact. Also, I'm unable to add a video... It's kind of screech-y.

    Yes, checked for lice/mites.

    Need help with a skin/neck thing...

    Sorry, he is pecking at the sides of the inflammed area on his own neck.

    Need help with a skin/neck thing...

    That makes sense now, I didn't feel like it looked right but today I noticed that he was even hitting the sides of it himself. I guess from just irritation. If it were Merek's, would it be highly likely that we'd have multiples with symptoms vs just the one?

    Need help with a skin/neck thing...

    Hey All, I work at a shelter and we recently had like 30 something chickens dropped off in our night drop. We have to consider them strays since the person who left them gave us no information so we don't know if they were hatchery chicks or home hatched. Anyway, one was walking around on day...

    Ok... next up 2 adults, possibly female runners. Anyone have thoughts?

    Duck Injury (Need Goose people too!)

    Ugh, well I hope you have luck... he just causes so much damage to the ducks. The goose has suffered a few wounds (and a bald head) but I feel more comfortable that she can withstand it better than the little ducks.

    Duck Injury (Need Goose people too!)

    Ok all, most recent update. I've had Artuto and Consuela physically separated (but visible) from the others since the original post. It was nice today so I let everyone out in the yard and then the geese followed the ducks back into the run so I left them. Well at some point today Arturo...

    Shelter Strays... Help

    Newest ducklings to the shelter... they kind of look like the prior chocolate runners but they are much smaller than mine when they originally came into the shelter.

    Duck Injury (Need Goose people too!)

    Update after 2 days of the Dating Game: I've witnessed them mating once on Day 1 (he wasn't super successful) but she was receptive and allowed him to try his hardest. Arturo still spends alot of time near the run door, he really wants to get back in with the other birds but has also been...

    Sudden Adult Pecking

    Well, I am going to post an update to what happened in case anyone else falls on this post in the future. I have a friend who has a single pet turkey and he took my Palm for a bit because he had been looking for a friend. I was going to butcher her but there is still 3ft of snow and pretty cold...

    Duck Injury (Need Goose people too!)

    Well got home today and another duck had been injured so I am pretty confident it is the goose, again had fresh blood all over his breast feathers. So cleaned it up, both ducks are eating, drinking and otherwise acting normal. Brought Consuela home today and let her and Arturo out into the...

    Duck Injury (Need Goose people too!)

    Thank you for your help. Luckily my duck was left in her jail overnight (goose had let a prior duck out ounce) so she should begin to heal. I am meeting with a guy today who has a 2yo female Emden and hopefully she will make a nice friend for mine. I will separate them out for a bit so they...
