The most serious threat to that nasty wound is infection… she’ll start to feel especially hot around the leg. Definitely clean it really good with and antiseptic and keep it wrapped to keep out dirt and bacteria, but it may not be enough without an antibiotic…

Yikes, that does look nasty. Yeah the splint works really good to stabilize the leg. Might need to wrap it tighter for a skinnier leg I’d assume. Just make sure there’s no bones protruding from that break.

I’m not really sure how he broke it… Oh that’s his little back toe lol 😂

So this is the contraption I came up with using a $1 mini pool noodle. It works great to stabilize the leg, and it’s soft so it won’t hurt him. Just wrapped it with some cling-wrap.

Yes, it worked pretty good. The only thing I would change is build up the feeder a little bit so that they can’t kick bedding into it as easily and get it wet. I would probably put more openings for the food to come out because it can get clogged by some wet, nasty ducks. LOL.

I have a duck who has a broken ankle joint and can’t walk on it at all. When I gently feel around I can hear the bones crackling. Any advice on how to splint it?

Also he’s smaller than suspected, chunky female, which has a more prominent breast

No guesses pretty please, need an experienced goose owner to help a gal out. I actually have two Brown Chinese Geese but this is the one that sits in my lap and lets me take all kinds of pictures. 😝🤣 They should be two years old now, and no eggs that I’ve seen, and this one in the picture has...

Yus, I brought the pond up from the depths

Anyone still at the pond? 😝

It’s been a couple years since I’ve been on BYC, but I’ll never forget all the friends I made, the laughs I’ve had, and all the people that have been so kind and helped me with my flock. Love y’all. 💕💕💕

“I'm gonna let the hawk go. He wants out, he's strong, and he wants to be free. And boy, can he can fly.”

That’s exactly what I plan on doing! ;) Really appreciate the help. 😊

Awesome articles!! 👏 Your knowledge is very much appreciated. I gave you a good review. 😁

Very detailed, yet simplified articles. The material is constructive, demonstrative, and educational. Sue makes it sound like even dummy-heads can have much more control over their flock’s health than they thought, and making vets sound a lot less like gods. 5 stars!!

Here’s what I’m looking at right now: https://www.amazon.com/Awarded-2018-Best-Compound-Microscope/dp/B0094JTZOU/ref=zg_bs_10824790011_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MBS147CWAWSKYGNYT696

So my flock has grown, and I need another option besides big vet bills when things like worms or coccidiosis come up. I just need some opinions and tips on finding a good microscope and how to distinguish the different parasites. Thanks y’all! :) @casportpony @dawg53

I’m gonna get some fecal samples checked at my avian/exotic vet Saturday. I just want to see if there is any remaining coccidia or worm eggs. I’ll get some samples from my flock too.

Woke up this morning to an empty box with a missing chicken. Guess the porch doesn’t suit her. 🤔 And I could hardly catch her. 😑
