    Switching from free range to coop kept

    My chickens have been free-ranged for years, but the coyotes and raccoons lately have been devastating to my flock, despite live traps. I have begun to keep them in the coop and run, 12 chickens (4 being bantams) in a 16x20 area. Since they are no longer free-ranging, I would like to make sure...

    Who, if anyone, is responsible, or am I just screwed

    I while back, I ordered a dozen chicks. They were sent on a Wednesday. Method of shipping: Priority Mail. The chicks showed up Saturday morning in awful shape. Only 3 still alive when I picked them up and two of those died within minutes of getting home. The breeder advised he'd send another...

    Goose with wry neck?

    Has anyone ever had a 3 month old goose get wry neck? Do you have pictures? I'm thinking my goose may have wry neck. Her neck is bent almost like a U shape but her head is not upside down. Was wondering, since goose necks are more bendable than chickens, if this is a possibility? She can still...

    Freaked out about my goose. Please help.

    She's been holding her head like this for a couple of days. It looks like her head is just tucked in, but its actually twisted around. I thought, maybe a vitamin defiency, so I added vitamins to her water. The Dept of Ag was just out last week to test my geese, turkeys and chickens. Got the call...

    UPDATE! Sick or depressed?

    Today I noticed that she keeps trying to scratch at her left eye, which is looking a bit red, like conjunctivitis or something. Would an eye irritation cause her to hold her head like this and therefore be off-balance? What can I use to treat her eye?

    Lost one of mating pair. Help!

    A coyote got one of my Embden geese 2 days ago. I guess it had its head sticking out of the fence and was grabbed and dragged off. Poor Nola is alone now and she is acting weird. Not coming when I go out to feed, keeping her head kind of tucked in to her body. Is she grieving? Do they do that...

    Sick flock... please help

    About a month ago, I had an adult goose die. She just got lethargic and one morning I found her dead. My pygmy goat had attacked her a couple of days before so I thought maybe it was because of that. Then some of my chickens started acting sick, then a turkey, then my other goose. They get pale...

    Chickens with runny nose and sneezing

    Do chickens need antibiotics for runny nose and sneezing symptoms? Any ideas on causes? I went to feed them this morning and several have a runny nose and one was sneezing and shaking fluid out of her beak. I never had this problem before and dont know what to do about it.

    Whats wrong with my goose?

    My 1 year old goose has started looking a little unkempt. Her feathers are not laying smoothly and I see her sitting on her belly while eating, as though she doesnt have the strength to stand. I put out layer pellets, hay, and vegetable scraps from the garden in the yard for all my animals. Can...

    Turkey with bumble foot

    I was given a turkey that has an extremely bad case of bumblefoot. Do I have to go to a vet for the penicillin or is it available from feed stores or online?

    Mallard's beak turned green and has a sore?

    Can anyone tell me whats wrong with my duck? I noticed about a week ago that his/her beak was a different color than the rest, but didnt seem to be having any problems. Thought maybe it meant that it may be a different sex than the rest. Today I go to feed them and it has this sore-looking thing...

    Eating a turkey with bumblefoot?

    I bought a pair of adult heritage turkeys 2 days ago. I really only needed the hen, but she wouldnt split them. The male has a bad case of bumblefoot. I thought I'd treat it and either keep him or try to rehome him. Well, that sneaky thing decided I was pretty cute and jumped on me while I was...

    Turkey's middle toe is fat and curved

    My hen came with a tom that I figured on rehoming since I already had a tom. Hate to do it, but this is the first full grown heritage hen I've come across for sale in 6 months. The new tom has really fat, curved (to the side, not under) middle toes. Everything else about his feet looks fine...
