Please Help! I think our turkey chicks may have some sort of respiratory infection! :(
Long story “short”, my little sister has recently taken over caring for our animals and picked up 5 turkey chicks from a swap meet on June 3rd. They couldn’t have been more than a few days old when she got...
So, unfortunately, I believe these chicks have some sort of respiratory infection, but I figured I would ask for advice, because I am having a terrible time deciding what to do. I have never had to deal with this type of thing before and any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Long story...
I got this call duck at a swap meet a few days ago. He didn't look very good when I got him, but I felt bad for him and I couldn't just leave him there, so here I am with another duck. lol Anyway, I`ll try to get some better/more pictures tomorrow, but his feathers are kind of ragged and he has...
I have a Buff Orpington mixed chick that I hatched in the incubator about 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, he hatched in a fairly dirty incubator with an open navel (some other birds hatched before him and I wasn't able to clean it out in time). However, his navel completely healed up and he appeared...
I have a call duck hen that is less than a year old. She seemed to be having a little trouble walking a few weeks ago, but I assumed she must have just sprained her foot or something since nothing was obviously wrong. Anyway, a few days ago I went down to the pond to put them in for the night...
So I've had Coturnix for about a year now. They are all laying great and seem healthy, but today one of them laid a GREEN egg. It is so green I almost would have thought someone colored it if I didn't know better. I don't really mind if they lay a green egg every once in awhile, but I'm pretty...
Hi everyone! I just hatched some gambel quail monday morning. I normally feed them Purina Game Bird Startena, but I have to special order it and it still hasn't arrived. I really need to feed them something soon so I don't stress them out too much, but I'm not sure what to give them. It`ll have...
I have a gosling that's about 6weeks old. Her feathers have started to come in and a few days ago I noticed that one of her wings was sticking out. I suspect its angle wing, but I've never had any dealings with anything like this and have no idea what to do about it. Can it be fixed? If so what...
I have a month old gosling that wont stand up. He was fine last night when I checked on him, but this morning he wouldn't stand up. He seems fine physically, but like I said, he wont stand up. He is living outside in a cage with another gosling and some ducklings(I just put them out about 5 days...
Hi Everyone! I`m new here so I apologize if I`m posting this in the wrong place, but I have free range ducks and about a month ago I found one of my adult Indian Fawn Runners dead in our pond. At first I thought he must have been hurt by some animal and died in the pond, but he looked just find...
Well, after gaining lots of helpful insights from this forum for quite a while now, Ive finally decided to join. I currently live in the country and have been raising chickens, ducks, and a few geese for about 11years now. I have 24 chickens- mostly Buff Orpingtons and Buff Orpington mixes and 7...
