I'm used to raising geese and ducks but I've never seen something like this. I have a four to five week old gosling that isn't growing like the others I have, she's smaller than she should be and she's always had bald spots. She recently got over cement vent and her belly sounds/feels like pop...
Sorry in advance for the horrible picture, I shake too much.
So last night we noticed or chick who's always crying and scratching has a piece of her skull visible with the feathers growing underneath the bone. Her neck also has bones poking up, you can easily feel them. The eggs came from my...
Can anyone tell me about cemented vents? I have a gosling less than two Weeks and his vent is all dried up and hard but there's no poo. He can still poo but it's diarrhea. I tried looking online but all I find is about pasty butt, but I don't think it's that. I've noticed he also isn't growing...
I have a nankin mix (hen) that had chicks and went broody again after about eight weeks. The night her eggs started peeping she got wry neck so we gave her the necessary antibiotics and she got better after a week but I noticed something odd. She acted like she couldn't see us; she normally...
My silkie rooster was found dead but still warm so he was killed recently. He was in a position on his back but more to the side with no puncture marks except for a bit of dried blood on the edge of his foot. He had a fist sized wet spot under his wing and so blood on his beak. There were no...
I have a little red barnyard hen, she's young and sweet, but I'm so confused with her behavior because I've never had a chicken act like this.
When when first got her she was a few months old but got along fine with the other hens, she'd always try to get inside the house, she'd give up after a...

I have three geese around the same age, some of you may remember them, and I know for sure that I have a male and a female because they're starting to mate but I'm not a hundred percent sure what the smallest is. I think it's female but my mother says otherwise, the male has also not tried to...
My cousin took four juvenile turkeys from a farm ( I don't know how, I didn't ask ) and I took them in cause why not; I like poultry. Anyways, one was stuck user a food dispenser at the farm and sadly died from dehydration but the other three are doing okay but they're older than expected so the...
I really hope someone can help me with this.
I got three goslings about a week and a half ago, they're around two weeks, and they're doing really well but my mom pointed it the smallest one's eye last night. Until recently, I believed their eyes were fine because they're not cloudy, swollen or...
We bought three goslings yesterday, the woman said they were a mix of Chinese African and Taluse (?), they're all fairly young with the youngest being four weeks. The first problem is the largest gosling pulling out the other's fluff, she also pulled a few chick feathers before we separated...
I have a goose, Abbi, who I recently posted about being sick (she's doing wonderful by the way) and I was wondering if anyone would help me solve the breed problem. Abbi was given to me by my mother's friend, who told me she's an African, about four or five months ago.
My mother told me that...
I have five white jersey giants, all under a year (if I had to guess I'd say 5 or 6 months), and when I went outside to check all the wateters I noticed one of my hens awkwardly laying down. They were all fine this morning and the others are fine, two are hot so I bought the chicken in, thinking...
We've raised chickens before but only one gose but I don't remember having an issue like this. We got fifteen week old ducklings and one gosling, the guy that hatched them had two but the other died after hatching so we took it in. They're almost there weeks now.
I checked on them two nights...
