I have a sweet female White Chinese who is about 1 1/2 years old. She was badly injured this summer by a bobcat bite to the neck and lost her best friend, another goose, at the same time. I nursed her back to health and now she is doing really well. She has a funny little way of walking now...
Hi there,
I have a white chinese and an african - both just under a year old. The white chinese has been laying since last fall (she layed all winter) and the african (much to our surprise - we thought it was a male) began laying a couple of weeks ago. Before the african started laying they...
Hi Everyone,
A few days ago I posted a question about my male brown Chinese goose who had a swollen eye area. The swelling went down the next day, but I noticed that since then he has been kind of lethargic. I haven't seen him eat - but I'm not with the geese all day, and he seems to just sort...
Hi There,
I have a 5 month old Chinese male who today started having, what I at first thought was a sleepy eye. It's just one eye and it isn't swollen shut - he just looks sleepy - and when you look at him straight on you can tell there is some minor swelling on that side of his head. I've...
Hi there,
I have 2 baby geese that I got at a feed store. One seems to be a Toulouse and one seems to be an Embden - and I don't know the sex of either. They imprinted on my boyfriend and I immediately and follow us around everywhere - they are just so incredibly cute and sweet!
Anyway, they...
Here's my situation:
I have one bantam brahma with 7 6-week-old chicks she hatched (all of the chicks I am about to mention are either barred rock or dominique crossed with a bantam brahma/EE mix) and she is still very broody (those bantam brahmas just won't quit!) AND an EE mother who hatched...
Hi,
I have a little bantam brahma and we just found her sitting in a hole in the dirt with her head down and eyes closed and tail end up a little and sort of pulsating and rocking back and forth a bit. She has done this before (the first time was when she layed her first egg) and another time I...
Hi,
I noticed other posts recently about chickens that are standing but with the head resting on the ground and my Bantam Brahma is doing that and has been for 2 days. We found him drooped over after a very hot day and thought he had gotten too hot - so we misted him repeatedly and gave him...
i just found one of my bantam brahma hens (2 years old) with her head drooped down and i noticed that both her eyes were almost completely stuck shut. also her comb was bloody and a lot of feathers have been pulled from her head - resulting in more areas of blood.
we had one hen - same type...
Hi,
I have a 1 week old chick that I separated from the mother and other chicks the day it was born because it was very weak. I have nursed it back to health and am thinking that it should go back with it's mother soon. It seems like it will be able to keep up with the other chicks (they are...
