    Switching Doe to Ivermectin after DuMor Goat Dewormer

    So long story short we are starting our foray into goat keeping. We bought three nubian kids at auction eleven days ago, and got two free nubian does today. The kids have already been dosed with pour-on ivermectin since they were COVERED in biting lice. One of the does is very thin which is why...

    Poults Going Blind?

    I posted this in the turkey forum, but I'm quickly beginning to think that this might be an emergency if it is contagious. It seems that both of my blue slate (blue) poults, one 4 days old, the other 7 days old, have gone blind? They obviously weren't when they hatched, they found food and...

    Poults Going Blind?

    It seems that both of my blue slate (blue) poults, one 4 days old, the other 7 days old, have gone blind? They obviously weren't when they hatched, they found food and water after some coaxing and had to be visually enticed to eat. Now they have no reaction to nearly poking them in the eyes, and...

    Do Turkeys Hate Santa?

    I know its a little past Christmas, but this morning I woke up late to let out the birds and haul out water. This isn't an issue except that in my rush to release everyone I stuck on my big "ugly" red Christmas sweater. We have ten blue slates with seven jakes and three hens, all about nine...

    Tying Out Drake?

    I've looked online and I've found information about roasting the duck, but I have tied out my drake for the day. He has been chasing our new (six week old) ducks and has injured the little hen in the form of a blood blister on the back of her head. This is both for her safety and his own since...

    Fisher Attack!

    So last Monday, June 13th, I opened up the coop to find four dead hens. It was obviously a weasel relative as all of their heads had been chewed up. Thank god the goose was in the coop though, otherwise we might have had 22 dead chickens. I am convinced that Dick (the gander) scared the predator...

    Week Old Turkey Chick Cheeping Incessantly, Stomping?!

    We ordered more birds from our favorite hatchery, Cackle Hatchery, and ended up getting a trio of Toulouse geese, two pekin ducks, and ten heritage blue slate turkeys. This is our first time trying turkeys. They are eight days old at this point, drinking and eating well. Taking long naps in a...

    ISO: Female Production Toulouse in Western New York

    We ordered a pair of toulouse, 10 ducklings, and fifteen cochin bantam chicks from Cackle Hatchery this May. They arrived on May 29th and just about everybody was active and alert. We lost three chicks in shipping and another to pasty butt a few days later, but it was a great shipment otherwise...
