I have never had a mother goose set before so I am unsure what to do after they hatch. I bought her with her 2 goslings which were 1 year old. So the mom, her 2 kids (which are 2 yrs old now) and Dad (not their dad but the new kids dad) all live together with 3 ducks. She laid her eggs in an...
I just noticed this this morning. There is no swelling, no cuts, nothing else. She walks on her curled up toes. She cannot perch with that foot, no movement at all. She is eating well and get around. I have never had anything like this before. None of the others show any sign of this...
I have a chicken that has had a Pale looking Comb. It has been that way for a month or more. She had a wound on her belly like she tore it on nail, I have treated that and it is all healed up. The comb is still pale so I decided to worm her with Wazine but she is very thin and I am worried...
One of my 6 year old ducks put his head through the fence and them wanted out so he put his head through the fence opening next to the one he originally put his head through and the stuck his beak sideways so he could not move. I think he was there for 2 days. I cut him out and brought him in...
My Tom has one beak that is overgrown to some degree maybe a 1/4" over or less. It is very thin there but I just was not sure. It is the top beak that is overgrown. Ideas are welcome. Terri
I have a chicken I have been working with for sour crop and what I thought was an eye injury. Fixed the crop but the eye has me stumped. It has pushed the colored part of the eye all the way back into the socket (I think the eye itself is useless) but I still need to do something about the...
I had a very lonely male goose so I purchase an adult female and 2 - 1yr olds. So things went along fine for 3 weeks and then this weekend I had to take one of my Turkeys to the vet I went to pick him up and one of the 1 yr old greese bit me in the butt. I hoped it would be a one time thing...
One eye on my chicken looks like it is sitting on top of a blister or something. Somewhere I think I have see something like this but I cannot remember where. The swelling or blister or whatever makes the eyeball sit ontop with the big bulge is underneath the eye. I hope I explained that OK...
Hello, My Turkey has a strange growth. He has had allergies for a few years now that I give him Steroids for when they flair up. He came up with something new today under his beak where all the pretty folds of skin or whatever is today he has like a long pouch and inside is a blob and the...
My Rooster has been wheezing and coughing for 10 days or so. I started him on tetracycline 250mg in his water daily. He appeared to get better and the yeasterday he is getting weaker. He had been eating today he did not. Do you think it would help to bring him in the house where it is warmer...
About a 8 days ago one of my Roosters started sounding funny it was like he was wheezing. So I watched him a day or so and he didnt act sick just his breathing. I was afraid he was sick so I stuck him in a house by himself so I could try and treat him. I had an antibiotic left over from one...
Hello, I had written you all about my female goose dying and my male was so sad. Well I have since had an offer of a female Pilgrim Female to help with his sorrow. I had some concerns about the size difference and the fact they are not the same type of goose. Does anyone out there have any...

Hello, When I got my pet turkeys several years ago I did not know anything about them so I did some reading and the two of them have done very well. I did get one thing wrong though I did not see anything about them needing shelter and mine would not go in a house even if it was right next to...

Hello, I have a 2 year old Turken Hen. Last year I noticed she stayed in a corner and would not move. She had lost a lot of feathers and was a little prolapsed. So I have kept her confined for at least 6 months trying to treat her for all of this but nothing seems to help.
I have been...
I have read almost all the post on Sour Crop. I am trying to help a hen who in the last 3 weeks has gotten extremely thin. Reading the Sour Crop post helped me figure out that that was the problem. What I do not understand is I see several post that say to take a syringe full of water and...
