    Pullet has bump on chin

    I have a 13 week exchequer leghorn pullet that has always had a prominent chin. Lately it is looking more mass-like. No oral lesions. No difficulty eating or drinking. I poked it with a needle and it had clear fluid in it. Any ideas? The rest of the flock is normal.

    Is my goose a gander?

    I have a 3 month old African goose that is supposed to be a female but (s)he has turned really bitey as of late. Is it just teenagerhood or is my goose actually a gander? I have videos of her voice but I have to figure out how to link a video in.

    Would you add Death Layer chickens to your flock?

    Oh man, anglophones butchering the french language 🤦🏼‍♀️. It should be pronounced like meal-flurr-doocle. In general you can skip prounouncing the last letter in French, not like Spanish where the terminal E sound like ay. Saying Dooclay sounds like Louisiana Creole 😂 I just put deathlayer...

    Has anyone SUCCESSFULLY cured a slipped tendon?

    She has heat and two companions, I just picked her up for photos and the light ruins camera exposure. I unwrapped at 24 hours and rewrapped cause it was still slipped. Got the eggs from a friend and they both had curly toes, not sure what her flock eats but she has 400+ birds so maybe not as...

    Updated photos, my other cockerel (green queen) is running around crowing and grabbing pullets by the neck but this SLW is still not showing his masculinity.

    What I Learned From My Awful Experience with Avian Flu

    Colleen, I am so sorry for your experience. I too anxiously watched the reports of where the flu was being reported. As a veterinarian I fully understand the logic behind culling affected flocks but that does not make it easy to accept. I suspect that many of the government veterinarians are in...
