    Runners ducks

    Runners Ducks, Show/Breeding quality from Holderreads. Some of the Ducks have been successfully shown. I have several pencilled and other rare colors including blue trout. They would be a great addition to someone's breeding pen or just for pets. I have too many Drakes and need to cut back...

    Missing foot!

    I'm hoping an experienced Guinea person can answer some questions. Several months ago, I noticed that one of my Guineas appeared to haven injury to one of her feet. Over the next few months she would huddle on the floor of the building. She ate well, but there was something wrong. About two...

    Colored Sebastopol Gander with swollen jaw

    Yesterday I discovered my colored Sebbie gander "Danube" alone in one of the horse stalls. Usually he moves when I approach him, but he just laid there. Immediately I noticed that his lower jaw was very swollen. He appears to be able to open his mouth, but continues to stay away from the other...

    I still have two 1 1/2 year old Roos that need new homes, they were originally purchased from Chicken Scratch Farm, and are Americana/Marans crosses.

    Horses and Geese

    My Geese go everywhere within my fencing, including the horse paddocks. Yesterday, I was herding them in the direction of their building, and of course the shortest distance is a straight line, so they all went under the Thoroughbred Gelding (as he was eating). At one point he started moving and...

    Newly hatched Sebbie Goslings!

    We acquired our first Geese in February. We were lucky enough to get a pair of Holderreads white Sebastopols that had been passed through two owners before coming to us. We already had reservations on two colored Sebastopols coming from a Breeder in Wisconsin. In the meantime, our Goose...

    Lethargic hen won't eat

    Yesterday evening I noticed one of my Black Copper hens acting strangely. She was on her perch, with ruffled feathers and a rather staring look on her face. I gave the rest of the crew some bread and they went nuts finding pieces of crust. She looked, but never moved off her perch. I brought her...

    Geese won't eat!

    We just acquired two Sebastopol Geese (a pair) on Sunday. They are just over 1 year of age (originally from Holderreads). They are very stressed, but we've tried to keep them quiet and not go in their pen, except to give them food and water. When I open the door to give them a fresh bucket of...

    Help! Chick attacking others!

    I just received a shipment of baby Chicks yesterday and one of the biggest Chicks is attacking and pecking violently at anything that comes near her. I think she has already damaged or blinded an eye of one of the smaller ones. I separated the "attack" Chick in a small box (with food and water)...
