    Ill Cayuga 6ish weeks old

    I am doing ok, thank you :) It's frustrating and dissapointing to have an animal pass, but the joy of raising them far outweighs the sorrow of losing them. Despite growing up on a farm with horses, goats, chickens, geese, pigs, and all the dogs and cats you could want, it never gets easier...

    Necropsy found a piece of wire lodged in her digestive track. Which got infected. I'm glad to know its not disease that will affect the rest of the flock but disappointed that something preventable was ultimately to blame. I'll be getting a floor magnet to comb the rest of the run for metal tonight.

    Ill Cayuga 6ish weeks old

    I noticed yesterday that one of my cayugas was being lethargic and not sticking with her friends (the other Cayuga and the 2 buff geese they arrived with) when I went to her to investigate she didn't run away like normal and gave very little protest when I picked her up to check her crop. After...
