Thank you for your reply, that makes me feel much better :) They started picking around a little bit today and I actually have one of those really big heated dog water bowls since the weather is getting colder and they seem to love drinking out of that. I think it was just stress due to the move...

No, she did not tell me anything other than they were free range. I guess I will contact her and see if I can get the same feed. Thank you!

I just bought a couple new geese over the weekend and they had previously been free range, but since they are new to our place I have them in a pen for a week or two until they get used to their new home before I turn them out. The problem I am having, and maybe I'm just a little overly worried...

I did look her over for mites and lice, no signs of either. Also she was not old enough to lay eggs yet and had not been separating from the flock. She was in my "young" chicken coop with all other young birds she had been with since chicks. She is my second one that I have found with an...

Unfortunately we just lost her:hit

Sure, here's a few pics of her. Thank you for responding so quickly. I hope she can get through this.

So I went this morning to do my daily check on our chickens and I had a young pullet laying down in the corner of the chicken run. She was not moving and when I picked her up I noticed that her eye is slightly swollen with some dried blood on it making it so she cannot open it and there was a...

Thank you!!

I was just if you can worm during laying season for peahens? I have one that is looking/feeling skinny to me and I had previously given ivermectin in april for roundworms, but I'm wondering if she has another type of worm and if it is okay to go ahead and worm her with safeguard for goats...

All my other peahens and peacocks are doing well and have no symptoms of illness.

Here is a pic I was able to get of her this morning. She does this off and on all day in between eating and drinking.

How can you tell if something is stuck in her crop? Ive seen her eating and drinking normally but I dont know if that has anything to do with it or not. I will isolate her and see if I can get a good look at her droppings and get a pic tomorrow if they look abnormal. Thank you for your replies!

She is a cameo, so if I remember right they tolerate heat okay but it is not hot here at all, its been in the 50s/60s and we've had a couple days in the 70s/80s. I have a hard time just seeing her droppings bc she is with other peahens/peacocks so unless isolate her I wouldnt be able to tell...

Hi there! So I have a peahen who for the past couple weeks has had droopy wings and closing her eyes off and on throughout the day. I thought maybe she was getting ready to lay an egg soon, but still has not. Today I checked her bottom to see if she was possibly egg bound. The first thing I...
