Duck limping
If the others suggestions don’t resolve the issue try cleaning the feet twice a day with hydrogen peroxide. The last two years a few of my birds have come down with some sort of skin infection that causes limping in the wetter months, it isn’t bumblefoot as it lacks the obvious bullseye but it... -
Help identifying geese!
They could be two pilgrim girls or possible mixes, they could be production Toulouse also, though pretty much any unidentified grey goose falls into that last category. If whoever sold him to you knew the breed they wouldn’t have sold them as a breeding pair of pilgrims as they would know that... -
weak cockerel with posible respiratory illness help me to diagnose it, please
If this is what you have on hand it’s worth trying, if you can’t get him to drink any water with it the oral dosage for Tylosin is 40 ml per kg twice daily. Tylosin has a broader safety margin than many other drugs so overdosing a little isn’t the end of the world. Oxytetracycline is an...- Goosebaby

gander squeaks, shakes head, sneezing
Is a vet in another area an option? Many different respiratory illnesses can cause squeaky coughing and head shaking, CRD is one of them, irrigating his face could indicate something obstructing his sinuses, but the most concerning thing is the loss of his honk as voice and pitch changes are... -
Let’s Talk About Bird Flu
The CFIA is holding it against the farm that they haven’t provided any legitimate evidence that the birds are involved in research but that very hard to do considering the CFIA will not even allow them to their own testing. There are numerous aspects that warrant further research, like to see...- Goosebaby

Support Group for Abused Duck Keepers
This summer mine liked disappearing into this mound of smartweed that took over part of their lawn. Other than that they like to hide in the lavender or in some shrubby roses. -

Quail growls?
He growled at me again today, he was happily gobbling some seebs from my hand, but then I spread the seeds out so the two shy girls could get some and he got all upset with his snacks being on the ground and gurgled at me. -

The thread for bad farm dogs
I think he did have some sort of mental illness, he came from a puppy mill that one of my neighbors also got a few dogs from, the dogs being shepherd Lab mixes. I’m pretty sure they were his half siblings or cousins. One of them was alright, the other was like Hunter but she was much worse...- Goosebaby

The thread for bad farm dogs
My first was my parents yellow lab, Hunter. Hunter did NOT have a high prey drive. Hunter was extremely jealous. He didn’t care about my birds until he noticed that I spent a lot of time with two particular goslings I raised, they spent a lot of time with me as they grew up because to them I was...- Goosebaby

Devastating bird flu culling
Studies on green tea have shown it to have antibacterial properties and inhibits bad bacteria, other studies have shown that it inhibits good bacteria and promoted the growth of bad bacteria. I’ve seen numerous claims that it inhibits viruses but no real information on how it did so. I suppose... -
Quail growls?
I’m new to quail, I got my first set earlier this spring and I’ve been raising three more that hatched around six weeks ago which I still haven’t introduced to the older birds. One of my older roos “Thistle” occasionally makes a funny little growl sound so I’m aware they can do this but I’m not... -
