Vet would be an option, but that sounds expensive... Anyway, I really do love his floppy comb, I find it funny and cute. However even my loud dog clacking on the concrete behind him accidentally snuck up to him on that side. I guess I could try to leave it and if he dies he dies. If leaving his...

This is my Americana rooster. He is about 3 months old. His comb flops over and basically covers one of his eyes, and as a free ranging rooster, I am afraid he will be easy pickings for a fox or such. I am concerned about bloodloss and pain. I don't know what I could use to numb it that would...

That is the best 😂 My chickens know the sound of the door to our house and they all come running because they know I always have bird seed for them 😂 I'm a sucker for their begging faces..

Yes I do! I hatched them for a neighbor to give them more variety within their flock so I have not seen the chicks for a good while now, but I do have pictures of them with a good amount of feathers! The black silkie mix does have a twisted beak but it doesn't seem to cause her problems so far...

It's alright. After no one replied I posted somewhere else on the forum and got responses. Anyway, she is doing okay. She will never walk, but she is loved.

Thank you! Hobbles and I will keep you posted.

Her name is Hobbles 😂

So I decided to suck it up and get a vet visit scheduled for her! I am now thinking/hoping it is a slipped tendon that the vet could maybe put back in to place or something. I did not want to schedule an appointment because it is a lot if money for 'just a goose' and the vet probably would not...

I don't think a vet would be able to do much other than some sort of surgery. I was almost thinking to just make her a wheelchair or some sort of prosthetic leg if possible.

The joint is pretty stuck. I am afraid of breaking her bone or something when I pull on it. If I pull very slowly it will kind of start to slowly creak open, but it is really stuck and she starts screaming so I am quite sure it hurts her a lot..

Not any more. Now it is normal looking and normal to the touch, and is starting to form a little callous where she keeps landing on it when she hobbles. The foot stays permanently curled and it almost looks like there is less muscle in the leg where it can't move, but I'm no vet so I don't know...

She doesn't seem to, but I could be wrong and just not be seeing it since her joint is so stiff.

I have.. She is not a big fan of the water and gets scared, and constantly tries to groom her belly that is in the water. Should I keep on trying?

I'm guessing 6 days

Her knee joint and down can not move at all, and when I try to move it even the slightest bit she screams in pain. The first couple of days she arrived her knee joint was really red and swollen.

This is Hobbles the gosling! She was ordered online with 19 other goslings but she is a little bit different.. I think she hatched deformed. Her eyes are kinda closed, her beak is crooked, she is smaller than the other goslings, and her leg is crippled and won't move. However she is a fighter...

This is Hobbles the gosling! She was ordered online with 19 other goslings but she is a little bit different.. I think she hatched deformed. Her eyes are kinda closed, her beak is sideways, she is smaller than the other goslings, and her leg is crippled and won't move. However she is a fighter...

The second Silkie hatched! This baby looks like what the other baby should of looked like. They are direct siblings, yet they look nothing alike. How is this possible?? Also, instead of having an extra toe, she has a toe growing off of her current toe! How cool!

Look at this! This is crazy!! The Silkie mix's legs are actually darkening! And her pin feathers are coming in a dark grey or black! This is so cool. The EE mix's pin feathers are also coming in, and the tips are light and then they are darker, but not as dark as the silkie mix's! The EE mix's...

Yeah I know I went a little overboard😅 I also am confused over their colors and I'm sure if I were a bystander I would make the same assumption that the hen had to be a different breed or something. Her down color shouldn't be genetically possible.. However, I really do think they are Easter...
