someone told me that they had a rooster that sounded like this and the vet said it was casein buildup and he used an instrument and cleaned it out. I'm thinking infection because of the odor, but he's not acting sick in anyway.
I've got a 3 year old royal palm tom turkey. He had a scab on his ear the other day - I picked it off today and it was yellow scabby underneath and really stunk!! It doesn't look like infection, but don't know what else it could be. I applied some neosporin on the area but there is still a lot...
You're right - not too much about turkeys!
I switched to Duramycin and he got better in about 2 days; I probably didn't continue it long enough though and about a week and a half ago, he started leaning to the side again and not perching on his roost. So I'm back giving it to him, but he's not...
I have a 6-7 year old royal palm tom turkey. On Monday, he suddenly became weak - leaning to the side, head drooping, not eating. Put him under a heat lamp, wormed him with ivermectin. no improvement. Fecal was watering and white, not frothy, no nasal discharge. I have SMZ pills and have been...
does she look like she's pushing? I personally would probably try to reach inside to see what I can feel. There usually isn't a bloody discharge unless the ewe is in labor and if it started yesterday, there could be some problems.
I just bought a frillback over the weekend at a reptile show (of all places); not sure if it's a hen or cock. For frizzle chickens, you breed a frizzle to a non-frizzled cochin; do you do the same thing for frillbacks? I don't think so, but I do have one lone "barn pigeon" that just was flying...
my billy goat is polled and about 50% of his babies will be polled. I have bred polled to polled and never had a problem. There seems to be a common thread that there will be problems when you do this - it is usually thought that you end up with a morphodite (half male, half female in...
I have all my goats dehorned too - they may not used them on purpose, but if you're bending down, or worse if a child is near by, and the goat swings its head, the horn can go in a child's eye and horns really hurt!! Not to mention the damage they can do. We still have a patch on the wall of our...
thanks for clarifying that she is a partridge - the man that i got the buff rooster from, said she was a partridge; but she's not as dark as some of the ones that I've seen on this thread. What color are partridge when they are chicks? do they look like the "chipmunk" color that americanas are like?
well, I'm not a complete novice to downloading photos!! Tried it again and it said that this was already posted, so couldn't get it to do it again - I don't see the photo....
Guess I'm not suppose to find out what color this beautiful silky is...
thanks - kept looking in the wrong place.
so this is a result of a buff rooster and white silkies that have been bred for white for quite a few generations. i was told they were partridge, but I don't think that's right. Any ideas? I've got quite a few of this color, some whites, so darker...
I wanted to post a photo of what color I've gotten this year using a buff rooster and white silky hens - but I can't figure out how to post photos!! How do I do that?
I put her in the yard today and she immediately ate some grass (although there is grass in the area where she normally is) but it wasn't long that she was sitting with her head tucked under again. I wormed her with panacur today - read that it will get the nematodes. Talked to the vet about...
I have a brown Chinese goose that was just hatched this year. I noticed that she looked thinner, so I wormed her with Ivermectin on Monday. Still very thin, sits with head back a lot of the time. Not much interest in eating, although drinking. No signs of any nasal discharge, no sign of diarrhea...
