I have five geese in a big pen with a guard dog. It works well because the dog keeps coons from getting the geese and he loves his geese. Trouble is, he also loves their eggs. He stands over them as they lay and when they leave, he eats them shell and all. I would like to figure a way to make a...
my year old peacock has a huge lump on his eye. My peas are not very tame and it was beyond squeezing by the time I saw it. I have treated with several different antibiotics in the past months. Nothing helped. I took him to the vet about a month ago and he stuck a needle in and there was no pus...
I have a pea who has lost all of his tail feathers... in January and just lost the last ones today. Can this be caused by the lights being supplemented for my chickens ? Peahens have also layed eggs.. in Jan. I have 9 eggs in the incubator right now. I know some are fertile but not all.
I bought two eggs from a man and he simply told me they were pied. Both hatched but one died and the other is doing great. I have three black shouldered peachickes that I put he/she with and they are great with him/her. I really would like to know if it is a male or female but have not clue...

Where I work they put up a bid to sell three incubators. They are a cabinet type that are used in the lab. I wanted to bid on one but they are selling them as a lot so if I don't win them I hope to buy one from whoever gets them. I should find out Monday. They are about the size of a small...
I tried to say it all in the title. Want to see the pictures of the incubator.. I think it is Mohillbilly but not positive. I have looked for over two hours and not found it because I am subscribed to way to many threads..lol. There is a picture of babies hatching and they are everywhere...
Is there anything I can do to help his legs? He gets around by scooting and I hope that he will get stronger as he grows. he is eating and drinking fine. He is only one of two that hatched and I hate to leave the other one on his own.
He will burrow underneath the other one and stay with...

I put 6 swan eggs in the incubator the Monday after Easter. The floods were getting ready to take the nest and they were given to me. The day after they took them, the nest washed away.. whew... just in time. They have been rocking for a few days.... and started "cheeping" last night...
a guy from work brought me 6 swan eggs to put in my bator. He has to relocate the female and male and could not take the eggs. He THINKS they have been setting for somewhere around 3 weeks. I am afraid they were cooled to much before he got them here. Any advice on what I should do?
I have really made a mess of this hatch. First off, these eggs are ones that the goose ababndoned about two weeks in. I brought them in to the bator. I sort of forgot them and they were in with quail eggs so they didnt get the cool down every day like I did on previous hatches. I really was...
