Runners Ducks, Show/Breeding quality from Holderreads. Some of the Ducks have been successfully shown. I have several pencilled and other rare colors including blue trout. They would be a great addition to someone's breeding pen or just for pets. I have too many Drakes and need to cut back...
Hi, I just found your post and am dealing with exactly the same thing. My Guinea is very mobile moving around on the back oher legs. What did you end up doing? Mine eats and drinks like crazy...
Thanks, I was thinking the same thing. Last year they were all locked in their building for the winter. This year the door is open about 1 foot and they can come and go at will. My Peacocks use the same building and I can't always get them in at night ( perch 50 feet up in tree branches) so if I...
I'm hoping an experienced Guinea person can answer some questions. Several months ago, I noticed that one of my Guineas appeared to haven injury to one of her feet. Over the next few months she would huddle on the floor of the building. She ate well, but there was something wrong. About two...
I'm having a hard time aspirating fluid. I'm an RN and after 4 attempts with an 18 gauge needle I've gotten nothing 3 times and blood once! I tried inserting at the lowest point of the paunch. I did see the posted photos. Any suggestions?
I just spoke to my local large animal Vet, she recommends an anti inflammatory in addition to the antibiotics. I'm stoping in a few minutes to pick it up. I'll also get some liquid calcium at Wal-Mart.
I have a two year old (Embden) goose that I found this morning with gross ascites of her lower abdomen, the skin and area around the squishy, fluid filled area is fire engine red and hot to the touch. I was on my way out the door to work (late) and plan on bringing her in immediately when I get...
Thanks everyone for your replies ...I'm in a state of shock, he died! After posting I decided to go ahead and start him on antibiotics. I spent some time looking through previous threads for which antibiotic and dosage. I found some Baytril injectable and took that outside with me. He was lying...
Yesterday I discovered my colored Sebbie gander "Danube" alone in one of the horse stalls. Usually he moves when I approach him, but he just laid there. Immediately I noticed that his lower jaw was very swollen. He appears to be able to open his mouth, but continues to stay away from the other...
I still have two 1 1/2 year old Roos that need new homes, they were originally purchased from Chicken Scratch Farm, and are Americana/Marans crosses. If anyone can offer them a quality home (they free range at least part of the time and have an in-door out-door run), please contact me. Not for...
Hi, I just saw your post. Yes, please tell me more about how they would be kept (inside/outside, free range, etc). Currently, they are in a separate coop with an attached A-framed run. During decent weather, they are allowed to roam about the fenced yard several times per week. Are you currently...
