    Topic of the Week - Beaks, spurs and nails

    I didn't trim them. Unless the spurs are causing a problem, I thought it was best to leave them alone. Roosters have spurs for a reason. Proper flock management is the key to keeping a hen's back from being raked bare from a rooster's toenails.

    Gosling with leg problems

    Pretty sure nothing you did wrong, as you tried to help it. Would have died earlier if left in the cemetary. It probably hasn't eaten enough to stay alive since hatched since he/she was very handicapped. It looked like a Canada goose gosling.

    I think a good practice now are stores wrapping baked goods and other items in the cases. I've always thought it unsanitary to have food items open, with flies and other airborne yuckies landing on everything.

    To ensure the social distancing measures these should be at least 12 feet wide. We could all bounce around everywhere.

    Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

    The new normal is for you to be scared, to stop you from thinking on your own and using common sense, and letting the media, and g-ment guide you in every little decision and move you ever make. This is in reference not to you personally, but people in general.

    Atrophied Crop in Muscovy Duck

    As described in the first post. Dried up, and thin like it hasn't been used. Not the same as a rooster's small crop from being emptied. But now I'm questioning what I actually saw and I didn't take pictures.

    Atrophied Crop in Muscovy Duck

    I found this: https://www.ducks.org/conservation/waterfowl-research-science/understanding-waterfowl-duck-digestion But what was the dried up thing?

    Atrophied Crop in Muscovy Duck

    I wonder if it was congenital, and as Sourland suggested, he never had much of a crop.

    Atrophied Crop in Muscovy Duck

    No, not underweight. His breast was full. He's in the oven roasting now. There wasn't much in his gizzard compared to others that have been butchered before.

    Atrophied Crop in Muscovy Duck

    The other thought is, can a bird survive and be healthy with a non-functioning crop (without impaction, food just moving straight through) or removed crop, as long as it eats enough while awake?

    Atrophied Crop in Muscovy Duck

    Butchered a Muscovy drake this morning because we have too many. The crop was difficult to find, and when I found it, it was just a dried up small thin shell. It obviously has not been working or used. The gizzard had mostly sand in it, and I didn't examine the intestines, and now they're...

    The only way people are going to get their freedom back is to realize this, and start acting like normal people again, or the freedoms they have given up are going to be gone forever!

    INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

    I would love to hatch something in the incubator, but have too many birds now. Besides letting my goose hatch a few muscovies nobody else will be allowed to hatch this year. I have quite a few regular broodies. If anyone would like some laying hens (not free) pm me.

    INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

    Okay, thanks. I'll keep them through winter. I have a small group of chickens in a shed that I'll use for the quail once this group of chickens live out their lives. They'll have outdoor access too.

    Is anyone interested in Cotton Patch goslings? My goose has gone broody since Thursday. If anyone is interested in goslings, I will check fertility and put the eggs in an incubator. I can't let her hatch and raise any, since I don't want anymore geese at this time. Here are some links about...
