    Toulouse Goslings slipped tendon? Perosis?

    So the male, interestingly enough, is almost totally back on its feet. But the female is still looking rough. We have officially put them out to pasture so nature will take its course.

    It's in the food I give them.

    Toulouse Goslings slipped tendon? Perosis?

    Ok. Well at the moment I've got them on a steady regimen of niacin and vit B12. It's been a few days. The male is walking on his foot now so that's good. But it seems the female can't even feel the lower halfof her leg. I'm afraid shes suffering. I'm so heartbroken at the thought that I'll have...

    Toulouse Goslings slipped tendon? Perosis?

    I don't have pictures at the moment. I'm still giving them a ton of lettuce and I've separated them so they don't distribute their weight onto each other. They seem more willing to stand, especially when I come outside. They don't have any other problems except the swollen hock and difficulty...

    Toulouse Goslings slipped tendon? Perosis?

    Can someone tell me the difference between niacin deficiency and periods? Should I just treat for both?

    Toulouse Goslings slipped tendon? Perosis?

    Thank you! I gave them a big bowl-full of lettuce and they gobbled it down. I will give them crushed peas tonight and get some brewers yeast the next time I'm in town. Thanks very much!

    Toulouse Goslings slipped tendon? Perosis?

    I had them on chick starter but I recently switch to a layer feed because I was told to lower the amount of protein and increase the amount of manganese. I couldn't find any water fowl feed with manganese in it. I let them out a few hours a day and they eat fresh grass and weeds and things. I...

    Toulouse Goslings slipped tendon? Perosis?

    We have had 2 Toulouse Goslings and I'm feeling like the worst caretaker in the world right now. We have a male and a female and they have both started hobbling around on one knee! I'm so upset. I just switch their feed to a feed with higher manganese percentage. That's what I was told to do...

    Advise Please

    I've found that when you introduce new chickens to a flock, they will be more likely to transition smoother if you introduce more than one at a time. Get three and place them as close to your flock as you can. In your situation I would obtain one more bloody hen and then try re-introducing them...

    can you train a dog to not hurt your chickens?

    Marker/Clicker train x 20. Dogs are naturally going to chase when the chickens run away from them, but ours learned really quick. If you have more then one dog, work with one dog with the flock at a time, otherwise you will want to scream when they all start chasing! Feed the dogs a really...
