    New and Old Flocks...HELP!

    Hello, We are going into year three with our small flock (Pilgrim goose, Pilgrim gander, and Buff goose). The Pilgrim had a gosling so we found him a friend and added a Sebastopol goose and Sebastopol gosling to that flock. We are still integrating them. This will be a group of 6 total. The...

    Geese flock, new gosling question

    We have a Pilgrim gander, Pilgrim goose, and Buff goose that we got two years ago when they hatched. This year they hatched one egg successfully. It looks to be a Pilgrim gander, he is about 4-weeks old now. It looks like none of the other eggs will hatch, there was one we found dead by the nest...

    Injured or sick eye and beak on chicken

    I found this chicken like this today. It is only on one side of her face. Our 48 other chickens have no signs or symptoms of anything similar. I read multiple posts here and started with a warm wet towel to remove the crust. Some came off but not all and her eye is still shut. She started...

    Egg safety question

    A family member collected eggs yesterday and left the basket outside, overnight. The night’s are in the 30-40s and very misty. Are these eggs still safe or is there a risk that the cold damp air pulled bacteria into the eggs?

    Mystery Chicken Illness?

    I posted in December (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/coccidiosis.1607010/) about a sick chicken that did not survive. She was treated with Corrid and sulfa antibiotics. I have another chicken that is starting to exhibit the same symptoms that the previous chicken had. I am hoping I...

    Introducing a lot of chickens to a few hens

    I would love some advice. We have a flock of nine hens that are a year old. We ordered 25 new chicks but the hatchery sent 47! Only one passed in the first day so we now have 46. Our coop is 100 square feet with a 480 square foot run (predators in the area). Is this introduction going to be...

    Baby Chicks - Possible Disease

    In December we had a less than year-old bird die. The flock had coccidiosis but not a heavy load, so we treated her for that but she never got better and died (possible Mareks or head trauma - avian vet gave no definitve diagnosis). We are getting baby chicks in June. Since whatever that...

    Coccidiosis

    I previously posted about a chicken that went down last Thursday. The vet was concerned about worms, coccidiosis, and she never excludes Mareks. She immediately began treatment for worms and antibiotics because the vet knew of the farm we got them from and said she had seen parasites in their...

    Sick Golden Sexlink Chicken - Need Ideas on Cause

    We have a Golden Sexlink Chicken that is at least 30 weeks old. She was purchased as a "coop-ready 6-11week old" chicken back in June. We noticed she would sleep on the floor of the coop while the other chickens slept on various levels of the roosting bars (more than enough space for everyone...
