I swear I thought my goose had a bumble on his foot. I just now found it. So I brought him in, soaked the foot, then started picking the scab and as soon as I did it started bleeding. A lot. So I was wanting to get a second opinion on it since it was my first time dealing with bumble foot. I...

Yes I did and I put him in a separate pen with her. I went down and could tell he felt better because he was strutting!

@Noellereagan He is doing better today. He began to eat more and seemed more perked up than he was yesterday.

Thank you! I may try and put a hen in there tomorrow and hope she doesn’t cause too much trouble. It has been difficult with sick pets. This is my first time ever having turkeys so I have little experience with this kind of stuff.

Okay. Thank y’all so much for helping. We will call around in the morning to see if anyone will look at him. Also, here is the poop picture I got since he finally went. He is our favorite Tom and hope he gets better soon. Should we put a hen in with him so he shouldn’t get lonely?

I think vet is an option. I haven’t been able to get a poop sample because he lives with others so I wasn’t able to differentiate between his and others. But I’ve gotten him inside under a lamp.

He is most definitely our pet. Also I took a closer up picture of his head to show you more of what it looks like.

We live in Arkansas, so it’s not freezing however it has been raining the past two days. And I thought that it could be peck wounds too but he is acting very lethargic and drowsy.

I went down to the barn today and saw that my 8 month old Royal Palm was lethargic, shivering, and his head has scabs all over it and his caruncles are swollen. I offered him food and he ate about three bites and then quit. Anybody know what’s going on?

The top photo is my 2 week old crested buff duckling named Sunny and the bottom on is one of my 2 week old Pastel Calls named Tiny.

I have some five week old welsummers and I am noticing that one looks completely different than the others. Is this a completely different breed or is it just a weird looking welsummer? Is it a sign of a rooster? They are both supposed to be a welsummer pullets and the one on the left, I...

Is it normal for my gander to be molting this early in the season? They have been breeding since early January. He’s a dewlap toulouse and about one year old.

I’ll love to have a dozen if available.

I have a question. What would you think your color grade is on the Marans egg color chart?

Do you have any available? We would love some. Thanks.
