    Adult chicken problem with joints/hips/legs

    We checked him for injuries and sores but didn't find anything. I'll look again to see if I missed something and check his vent again. I had no idea that chickens could get constipated!!! Come to think of it he doesn't seem to poo that much but what I've seen looks normal. Maybe some olive oil...

    Adult chicken problem with joints/hips/legs

    Thanks. He doesn't seem to be in pain and is a very sweet bird. My husband doesn't want to spend the money on a vet bill for a chicken so I'm not sure what to do.

    Adult chicken problem with joints/hips/legs

    Does anyone know what would cause a grown chicken to stand up straight to the point that it cannot walk correctly? It appears as if his hip bones are protruding forward. This is a young breda rooster that is full grown but hasn't started crowing yet. The backstory is that the bird was given to...

    HELP! My 2 month old Touloose goose has droppy wings!

    Just posting an update... The white goose has totally grown into her wings so no more droopy problem! And she has gotten so fat that she has rolls of fat deposits between her legs. To answer earlier questions the two geese are housed in an 8x12 enclosure with four runner ducks at night and free...

    HELP! My 2 month old Touloose goose has droppy wings!

    Your goose does look much healthier than mine. My two geese are the same age but shouldn't the African weigh more than the Chinese? My bird has a little tuft on her head so she could be something else. I'll try to get a weight later and some more pictures. She actually seems to be holding her...

    Do the drakes always have darker faces?

    Indian Runners

    We have four and all were solid yellow when we purchased them about 10 weeks ago. How can you tell by looking that they're drakes? I'm pretty sure the one on the left is but I don't know which one that is on the right. But we do have two drakes so you're probably right. The two boys have...

    HELP! My 2 month old Touloose goose has droppy wings!

    "She" is about 10 weeks. We bought another gosling (African) and four ducklings at the same time and none of them have wing problems. Even before the wing issue we thought that something may be wrong with her because she is always the last to follow her flock...it almost seems like she has a...

    Indian Runners

    Are these indian runners? We purchased them on a whim from the feed store. They were supposed to be pekin (not that it matters cause we love them regardless). Their color looks like pictures I've seen of runners but they don't seem to stand as tall. I can post more pics if needed.
