We've had a series of deaths here. At first it seemed like cocci and we treated w/Sulmet. They seemed to get better(8 wk old Brahmas). We had 2 sudden deaths yesterday and my daughter cut open one of the Brahmas. Her intestines were filled with blood and there were red lesions on her liver. The...
Seeing if there are any other orchid lovers out there! I adore orchids, although for the longest time I was terrified of them. Besides being beautiful, all I ever heard about them was how hard they were to keep. And some are, but the ones I have are thriving. Moth Orchids, I believe they're...
Well, a couple weeks back our pair of parakeets decided to start up a little family... And now we have 3 biddies.
The first two are about a week old, the third is only a couple days. The first one already has his/her little eyes open though, thought they weren't supposed to do that until they...
I'm new to showing and haven't competed before, but I am interested in trying. Currently I do not own any silkies, but I have had them in the past. I wanted to know what to look for in show quality ones. My first silkies were just pets, and probably not show quality, but they were fun and I...
I have a 3 females and 1 male Toulouse. One female and the male are 2 yrs old. The other 2 females are 18 mo old. They have bred wonderfully for this year. We hatched a dozen goslings ourselves and gave away many more eggs to neighbors. We are looking to add new blood to our flock so this quad...
Our silkie roo was attacked by a fox this morning. The fox dropped him after we came out. The roo has several puncture wounds in his abdomen. He seems to be in shock but able to move. We cleaned the wounds and used antibiotic cream. He's resting inside a clean box in the house. What else should...

Hi
I have a 8 month old Phoenix roo whose face, wattles and neck are swelling fast. No other symptoms, eating and droppings normal. He does free range during the day. I'm thinking sting or bite. Any suggestions? Can I try benadryl?
Thank you

Hello
I have a 8mo old Toulouse gander with red,very swollen rims around his eyes. He isn't acting sick and I don't see any indication of injury. We have had flooding rains for the last 2 days and the covered pen is very mucky. They are only in at night and only two sides are covered so...

Hi
I have a 9 wk old white leghorn with a swollen lower beak. It looks like she cut the inside of her mouth and it is now infected. I'm not sure what to use on her. I have Tylan, Pro-pen-G and Bio-mycin(goat meds). Could someone tell a dosage for a chick. These are all injectables.
Thanks
Susan
We just received 26 chicks (assorted breeds) from a hatchery. I am by no means an expert but at least half of the 'day-old' chicks have fully feathered wings. We've hatched some of our own chicks and I've never seen any of mine feather out in less than 2 days. Is this common with hatchery...
I'm looking to hatch a few turkeys and geese this year. Would love to find Roman Geese but will take a mix of any of the gentler breeds. Also looking for turkeys, maybe Blue Slate or Bourbon Red or a mix. These will just be pets. I'd like maybe 4 of each turkey and goose. Could use a bargain...
