No one is picking on him, they're a pretty cohesive flock, I haven't noticed any fighting between them. I've even noticed them taking turns "babysitting" him while he hasn't felt well. Because of the antibiotics I've been giving him, I isolate him at night in a smaller pen, so he has his own...
Hi all. I have a droopy gander, he's about 9 months old. He's not hanging with the rest of my flock, he's eating a little, he seems to be very thirsty, and he kind of squints his eyes 1/4 of the way shut. No discharge from his nostrils, no signs of respiratory distress and his poop looks...
I had one that hatched with the feet curling in, he was healthy other than that. I made him "booties" out of some bandage tape I had. I'd put his foot on the sticky side of the tape, then double it over the top of his foot. Position his toes where they need to be. before doubling over tape...

I've only had them a day and I just looked, I have over 200 photos of them. They'll be getting their own thumb drive... lol
200 pics?!?!?!
You have got it SO bad....I'm sure I'll be seeing you in the future for some of those buffs you were...
I went to 1st Monday last month and was disappointed in the small amount and variety of birds. Most started birds were badly taken care of RIRs. Chicks were mostly sex links.
Just wanted to tell my fellow Texans, I've looked for Sebastopol geese in Tx for quite a while, and I finally found...

Thanks for the reminder, Crystal. I will get those cut off in the morning.
Yes I wish we could have spent more time. I hope the soap making went well. BTW the Gray Dewlap and the Buffs are beautiful too.
I know, right... lol, I haven't gotten a flippin thing done all day long because I've been overdosing on cuteness!!!
Yes, there is one boy and two girls, they were all hatched on the 10th. He's twice the size of the girls.
She sells them $40 each, sexed. A HUGE bargain considering what I...
I had almost given up on owning Sebastopols when I found a BYC member (Broke Down Ranch) raising them only 2 1/2 hrs from me.
I picked up my trio yesterday! They followed me everywhere today and explored the 4 acres we have fenced off for a yard.
First they met a few of the other residents...
Oh I can't wait to see those solid babies feathered out! They are all gorgeous, good job Cottage Rose.
I picked up 3 sebbie goslings yesterday, I'll post pics in a new thread tonight.
Banter, your sebbies Always take my breath away, they are stunning. Have Zoey and Bloo Goo produced this...

yes, the state comes around and asks for their cards. i don't know how often but they do. a couple of my friends sell over there and he's been asked to show his card and certificate. there are reputable and non-reputable people there. when you purchase from those type of places, you, as...
Does anyone purchase animals at Canton First Monday Trades Days? If so, I was wondering what your experience was.
I know the animal part, "dog alley", of First Monday is privately owned, and run differently from the City owned grounds. Does anyone know, are they making them show proof of...
Welcome from Canton, Tx. First Monday is this weekend, are your coops ready?
I was at Tractor Supply the other day, and 6 of the assorted layers followed me home!!
So sorry to hear about the inlaw problems. I'm with you, it's not worth the consequences of having that kind of a long battle. It'd be sooo much negativity in your lives for too long.
This will come back to them... yano how Karma is.
As a native Texan though, I do understand the urge...
Oh No, I hope he's not gone for good.
It's a long shot, but since you live in a neighborhood and I doubt chickens are the norm, try calling the local animal control, maybe he got out of your yard pecking around or was chased off by a cat and someone called in on him. Of course, they might...
Sounds to me like Rodney picked the right person to adopt ... lol
You've done a great job, it's nice to see a "first timer" taking such good care of his feathered friends. I bet you never thought chickens could be this interesting and fun.
The suspense is killin me, have you gotten Rodney in...
