    Gosling walking backwards

    She started eating and grooming last night but then passed away over night. I am dumbfounded in what happened, and heart broke.

    Also- I stopped and got a few ducklings so it is not alone and they are getting along well.

    Gosling walking backwards

    Friday I was at the feed store and happened to notice a gosling laying on it's back. Clerk said head injury and offered to give it to me if I took the other two. I did. Within 30 minutes of getting home, one gosling had died (not the injured one). It laid down, refused to eat or drink and passed...

    Baby struggling

    Thoughts needed. Three day old baby chick got away from its mom and got pecked. Cleaned it up and put back with mom. Next morning it wasn't walking and peeped constantly. I have it in the house in a brooder- it's been 24 hours. Not eating or drinking on own and just lies in the brooder. I have...

    Sneezing and only sneezing

    Sneezing and barking

    I've read till my eyes are falling out and I'm still not sure what the heck is going on. My rooster started mumbling to himself three days ago and sneezing occasionally. Two days ago his crow became weaker and seemed strained. Yesterday he continued the above mentioned issues but more loudly...

    Help,,, new Momma Hen question

    We snuck the babies in last night. Momma was clucking to them all night- yes I kept checking. They are eating and drinking with her this morning- I was out there at 5am so I could be there when they woke up. They are hanging out with her original baby and all seems well. Ugh!!!! Praying!!!!

    Help,,, new Momma Hen question

    It's so dang sad. They were already separated and in a dog kennel but there was a crack big enough to drag the baby through. They are now in my grow out coop.

    Help,,, new Momma Hen question

    The baby died when another hen grabbed it while mama wasn't looking. I was not there when it happened but came out later and witnessed two hens attempting this with the second baby. Momma and baby have since been completely separated from the flock.

    Help,,, new Momma Hen question

    This is my first hatch and I am a wreck! One of my Buff Orpington had been broody for months so I gave her a few eggs to hatch. She did great and two of three hatched. One died today and the remaining is three days old. I picked up two seven day old chicks from a friend and planned to sneak...
