I took in 2 young male emus 5 years ago and would like to find them a home with a mob. I'm guessing they aren't much older than 6 years old, as they were still growing when I took them in. These guys are used to free ranging on 4 acres, so I want them to go someplace with room to run. I am in...

Hi-- I hope this thread isn't out there yet. I need to work on some hard, corn-like growths on my midget white tom's feet. He has been limping a little more and more. Not infected bumblefoot (I've looked at the poultry podiatry site and spoken to the woman who runs it) but a non-infected...

I have a question for anyone who might be able to answer. I have two emus-- I took them from a man who couldn't keep them. I've had them for about 2.5 years. I believe they are both male. No mating has occurred (at least not between them, they've tried to mate me, my two Great Pyrs, the guys...

I noticed a couple of days ago that my smooth-breasted gander seems to be staying wet. His neck feathers and the feathers under his body seem constantly damp, and he also seems very interested in bathing a lot-- more than usual. All the other geese seem normal. Has anybody had any problems with...

the two emus I received about 2 weeks ago seem to have really runny pooh. I have ordered emu food, but for right now I am feeding them salmon/sweet potato dog food, 4-way sweet feed, and various seeds & flock raiser. The dog food costs a fortune-- $2/lb, so it isn't cheap and nasty stuff. Is...

I hope this video works. I haven't even had these guys a week and they are absolutely hilarious. I've already had one get his/her head stuck in my pocket. These are the most curious animals I've ever seen. They have worn out the dogs already. Does anyone give them balls or toys to play with...

I have an opportunity to get 2 emu from a man who can no longer keep them. They are young-- so young he doesn't yet know what gender they are. He hand feeds them, so says they are friendly. They live with his goats, cats, dogs. My questions are: does anyone here keep emu with other birds...

I've been taking in rescue birds. I now have 5 roosters. Yes, very stupid. Anyhow, I have a large protected area where I keep my geese and ducks. I'm thinking about creating a "bachelor" area, where I put the excess roosters. Has anybody kept a flock of just roos? (why would a sane person do...

I've used the pour over in the past, but I have some difficult feral turkeys to catch and have decided to buy the ivermectin injectable. I've read the threads on ivermectin products and the dosage amounts. I cannot find any post which has the amounts that should be put into drinking water, and...

[/img] I hope the picture posted. Has anyone seen one of these? It had a bit of watery blood in it as I pulled it out. It doesn't look like a worm. Some kind of egg malformation? The bird is lethargic and continues to poop small amounts of very smelly watery blood.

I have birds ranging from 1 lb to 35, any ideas about dosages? Also, which should I use, I bought both because I couldn't decide.

These two undernourished turkeys somebody just dropped off at our place went nuts when they found our dog bowls. They were gulping it down like crazy. They have 24/7 access to proper food but really like the dog food. It seems like a shame to not give it to them, as they are so skinny. Think...

I posted this in the turkey section, but thought a more general forum might be helpful, too. I recently rescued a 2 year old white midget male turkey. Today I was dealing with an out of control NFM situation in the coop and decided to check the turkeys, too. All 5 of my turkeys are rescues and...

I recently adopted a 2 year old white midget male turkey. Today I was dealing with an out of control NFM situation in the coop and decided to check the turkeys, too. All 5 of my turkeys are rescues and at least several years old. 3 of them were abused and very hard to get my hands on when the...

I bought 25 giant cochins which were supposed to be mixed. So far-- at about 3 months, they're all white. They have different shades of beak & foot colour-- some are a very light yellow, some orange, and some have blue or green eyes. Are they going to get different feather colours at some point...
