We've lost our third bird today.
About a week ago, our 6-month buff orp. became sedate and unusually affectionate. Upon inspection, she had scabs along her right side which went directly into the thoracic cavity. What's worse, one had appeared over her shoulder joint, and what appeared to be an...
I Tried the vinegar and it worked immediately. I mixed some in her water and let her drink without food, then tonight at around 5 I let her eat as much as she wanted. Her poops have been 100% solid since she's been eating solid food!
I'm always amazed at the power of acv, thank you!
Hello,
The last thread I posted in here concerned my goose and how he was having watery stools. I was assured that this was normal, and that everything would be ok. Well last night and today he's been acting strangely. His poops will either be extremely liquid, or almost entirely water. That...
That's so sad and irresponsible of that person. I think what happens is that people purchase babys and don't expect them to grow up and eat a bunch of food, and require great amounts of love and attention. Then they assume that they can just let the geese go at a pond and it will think it's a...
Just out of curiosity,
If a goose was raised with a human family, solely, would the goose be able to adapt to a new human family? For example: A goose becomes an adult, and has two human flock members. The humans had to give the goose away to another human family. Would the goose mourn the...
Thank you.
I purchased one goose (and one duck for that matter) because I am expecting some more goslings soon from eggs I am hatching and I don't want to find myself suddenly owning more geese than I can handle. I don't go to work or school right now for personal and medical reasons, so I am...
Hello!
I need some help regarding waterfowl. I've wanted to own ducks or goslings for a very long time, so I made the necessary arrangements to have some.
A few weeks ago, I purchased a duckling. Very suddenly the duckling passed from what seemed to be a respiratory infection, or pneumonia...
Hey everyone! I'm inviting you all to come hatch with me for my second time ever! I've hatched out ducks before, but that was nearly 5 years ago. I've ordered goose eggs that have come in the mail, and on friday, I will be purchasing turkey eggs! The incubator is home made, and I've adjusted the...
I'm really sorry. I wish I was better experienced with this. Do you think you may have a weed growing around the orchard that may have been consumed by some of them, but not all of them? That's really all I can think of.
Hey there!
I've had much success in curing this problem by supplementing their water with an Electrolyte and Probiotic formula. It more than likely has to do strictly with their digestive tract (but can also be caused by stress), and they probably consumed some sort of bacteria. Growing...
Haha. The funny thing is, I've spent my entire life wanting to become a vet surgeon and pursued zoology and pre-vet major briefly upon entering college. I had to put it to a halt, however, because of financial and personal issues, but in the past few months I've learned so much more from owning...
