I thought I had read that a gander can have a...

    Bielefelder Leg Issues???

    I got all 3 from Greenfire Farms. I had hoped they would be better quality from there. We have about 10 Bielefelder pullets from Cackle and none of them have these issues. Although none of them are as big as these guys. They have been eating All Flock and are about 5 months old. They also free...

    Bielefelder Leg Issues???

    I have 3 Bielefelder cockerels. 2 of them seem to have messed up legs and have been that way since chicks. They look down and almost stare at their legs when walking sometimes.

    Official BYC Poll: What Do You Do With Your Aggressive Roosters?

    We have eaten several nasty cockerels. I have had the pleasure of having a nice rooster who minds his manners, so now I won't tolerate anything else.

    Cockerel?

    I think this almost 3 month old Ameraucana might be a cockerel. Am I right? Or is it a pullet?

    Humane butchering?

    My husband is trying to figure out the best method to kill 2 of our geese. He has never processed geese before, only chickens. Can you use kill cones with geese? Any tips?

    Is this Coccidiosis?

    So should I just keep an eye on them for symptoms? If it is shed intestinal lining, is that OK? Would they need treatment?

    Is this Coccidiosis?

    Ok, my husband wants to know if this is evidence of Coccidiosis in our meat birds. We literally just finished a round of corid. Do we just do another round?

    Rooster Eye Injury

    It's hard to tell in the photo because he was not entirely cooperative. But it looks like a small hole. How long should I keep ointment in his eye?

    Rooster Eye Injury

    This afternoon I noticed my rooster was standing with his eye shut. I caught him and opened his eyes, it looks like a small piece is missing. How can I treat this? Ointment? Irrigation? Will he be blind in this eye?
