Not sure of the brand but I mix it with an organic brand. Turkey feed is higher in niacin than chicken feed. Wouldn't the others have had this problem in the past or in the present if the feed was a problem? I'll keep an eye on him and see what happens. No vets here that treat anything with...
My young 4-month old Chinese goose has consistent leg trembling. This just started lately because a week ago he was fine. He is eating well, is playful, and seems fine except for the trembling legs. The trembling does not stop while he walks around and eats grass. I have others that were...
My Ayam Cemani rooster is 18 months old. Had the most beautiful black comb and beard a few months ago,....100% pure black. Now, it is bright red!! WTH? Why would it change in such a short time? Why would it even change at this age? The change took place over a few weeks, I didn't even...
I am very upset about the allergy. I have beautiful chickens that I used to pet each day but now I can only be around my Chinese geese without having problems breathing. Had to sell my cockatiels also. Not fun. I am keeping the geese and will look for other kinds of birds that don't cause me...
This is Tetoune. She was born on Sept. 22nd 2020. Husky-Sheppard mix. Just love her so much! This pic was taken on Nov 1st 2020. Her mom abandoned her at age of 3 weeks along with her other siblings so I was lucky to be able to take her in and love her.
Once the infection goes away she should gain weight. Infections really take a lot of their energy and yeast infections can be very uncomfortable and affect her routine. If she also has worms, that is a major cause for under weight birds. I would go with high protein, give her a hard boiled...
Hey everyone. I am really freaking out. I have lots of chickens and other fowls but am allergic to the ducks and chickens so I need to sell them. This past summer my pure Ayam Cemani rooster had a beautiful black comb and beard, but ,now my Ayam Cemani rooster has a bright red comb and...
Nothing can get to our ducks apart from something that can fly into the enclosure. He was just fine a short while before. When we picked him up, he was still warm and bleeding profusely from his wounds that were on the back of his neck. Even if a raccoon would have climbed over the 6 foot...
Hello from Quebec.
Congrats on deciding to raise chickens. It is a big learning time and you will encounter all kinds of situations and get help here in this group from all kinds of great and wonderful people. I became a member when I started doing rescues and since I have learned so much...
OH my. 😳 My geese and ducks always try to grab my gold bracelet and rings. They haven't stolen any yet. Just keep checking...you know what... 🤭and you will get it back eventually.
I just happened to look out a window a few moments ago and saw a raven tearing apart my Call duck, Jasper. This has never happened before. I have never lost a duckling or chick to ravens and certainly not a full grown call duck. The ravens this year are huge. He was at least twice the size...
I have been feeding her baby feed for muscovies from the feed store. They claim that there is no such thing as feed for goslings. She is not growing at all. She eats and drinks but does not move much. I tried to find a vet in our area but the only vet we have does not deal with fowls. I...
