Hello all, I am relocating and will take my birds (a turkey, goose, and 2 ducks). The only one I'm worried about is the nervous, excitable goose. The vet said that there is no sedative that I can give her that wouldn't require constant supervision by a vet. So, does anyone have any...

Hello, A vet has prescribed ronidazole to 2 of our ducks, since they have been laying soft eggs, sometimes have fluorescent green poo, and fecal analysis shows giardia and tritricomonas. I need to give them 1 ml per duck per day. 1. Does anyone have any advice as to how? I don't want to...

I know it was awhile ago, but I'm sorry your rooster died. I hope your other birds are doing well. Anyways, I wouldn't have known what to suggest, since I'm relatively new at this.

Hello, My goose might have mites; I'm not sure. Several days ago she started to suck / comb a few of her feathers on her shoulder repeatedly. Judging from the looks of her when I get home from work, she has been doing this for the past few days. I've examined the spot (not yet down to the...

Hello, Our pet turkey was seen by a vet for diarrhea. She had an infection of 2 microorganisms, E. Coli and a vulgaris organism. Also her liver enzymes were high. So the vet prescribed an antibiotic and medicine for her liver. Her poo is looking more normal now. Frequently it holds its...

About our turkey: - 18 month old jenny - Has diarrhea since about 1 month, but otherwise acting normally so far. - Poo is generally very liquid; sometimes mustard brown (see attached), but never lemon or sulfur yellow. - Grazes on the same land as chickens, every now and then. - The county...

Yes, exactly - they dissipate after awhile. Then the total solids increase as it dries. She poops like this maybe every 5 x or so - it's hard to tell since I'm not there much to watch her poop. It doesn't happen every time, but it seems increasingly frequently (or maybe I'm just there at...

P.S. - she is housed separately from chickens, but sometimes we let her out on the same land which chickens use.

Hello all, Our jenny has had diarrhea for several weeks. This may be caused by a few things: - she had 2 different types of antibiotics to treat bumblefoot. I just started more intense probiotics, though I've been giving her yoghurt now and then. - Stress from bumblefoot surgery and me...

Try rubbing her legs down with rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) or some other alcohol. This could help cool her off. Give her water, if she will drink, and get her to a vet if you can. I don't know what else to do, since I don't have much experience. But I'm sorry this is happening, how...

Well, I discovered that in fact there was a hole in her water container! Nevertheless, her poo has been more liquid than normal for the past few weeks. Kale and grass come out green, and grain comes out generally mustard brown and also soft and watery. But I've not seen anything I'd really...

Hello, We have a jenny which is molting rather dramatically. She also is exceptionally thirsty right now. Usually she goes through a gallon of water every 4-5 days, but yesterday and today the container is empty twice a day! Is it normal that molting turkeys are so thirsty? I'm giving her...

Hello, I have a female turkey who went through bumblefoot surgery. I've changed her bandages with the help of two neighbors to hold her, but I'd like to find some way to change the bandages alone so I can do it more often than once a week. Does anyone have suggestions as to how I can do this...

Hello, Our 1-year old turkey had to have bumblefoot surgery on both feet. The vet recommended astroturf or other soft surface, but she eats everything. Right now I have her on loose topsoil covered with a dense weave dropcloth. I discovered that the topsoil has small sticks in it, which may...

It did in fact turn out to be a tick. Thanks! I'm new to this, and I've never seen a tick before.
