I will watch them them there are 3 boys and mom. One of them is the dad and the other two boys are her kids from a couple of years ago before I purchased them. Do you think the two boys will bother the babies?
I have never had a mother goose set before so I am unsure what to do after they hatch. I bought her with her 2 goslings which were 1 year old. So the mom, her 2 kids (which are 2 yrs old now) and Dad (not their dad but the new kids dad) all live together with 3 ducks. She laid her eggs in an...
I just noticed this this morning. There is no swelling, no cuts, nothing else. She walks on her curled up toes. She cannot perch with that foot, no movement at all. She is eating well and get around. I have never had anything like this before. None of the others show any sign of this...
Thank you Bantamlover21 for your response. I will order some sav-a-chick right now. I am going to give her some hard boiled eggs today to try and get her to eat more. Terri
I have a chicken that has had a Pale looking Comb. It has been that way for a month or more. She had a wound on her belly like she tore it on nail, I have treated that and it is all healed up. The comb is still pale so I decided to worm her with Wazine but she is very thin and I am worried...
Hello and thanks for your ideas. I will see if I can find the things you mentioned. I have him proped up but he keeps scooting around so he has some energy. I am not sure why he cannot control his head I hope the nerves are not damaged. I will let you know how he get along. Thanks again Terri
One of my 6 year old ducks put his head through the fence and them wanted out so he put his head through the fence opening next to the one he originally put his head through and the stuck his beak sideways so he could not move. I think he was there for 2 days. I cut him out and brought him in...
My Tom has one beak that is overgrown to some degree maybe a 1/4" over or less. It is very thin there but I just was not sure. It is the top beak that is overgrown. Ideas are welcome. Terri
I have a chicken I have been working with for sour crop and what I thought was an eye injury. Fixed the crop but the eye has me stumped. It has pushed the colored part of the eye all the way back into the socket (I think the eye itself is useless) but I still need to do something about the...
Just an update, I finally decided I had to do something even if its wrong so I wrapped her in a towel and lanced it. I had to pull the bottom eye lid down because it was over the cyst or whatever it was. I had expected puss but instead I got clear liquid. After I cut it I got all the clear...
RURU, thanks for giving me hope that I can stop this. The one that is attacking me is actually one of the 1 year olds not my gander. I have had my gander for a long time he is sweet. I will try as you say and hopefully we can come to terms.
I had a very lonely male goose so I purchase an adult female and 2 - 1yr olds. So things went along fine for 3 weeks and then this weekend I had to take one of my Turkeys to the vet I went to pick him up and one of the 1 yr old greese bit me in the butt. I hoped it would be a one time thing...
Thanks for your input. I am debating if I should lance it or just wait and see what happens next.
I think I will wait and see if any other thoughts pop up. Thanks Terri
I haven't read the entire post yet but her eye is wide open so I don't know if its the same thing or not. She has had this for 4 months or so and is never sick at all. I just dont know, her eye is clear but it looks like the pupil is pushed up toward the top of the eye. Terri
One eye on my chicken looks like it is sitting on top of a blister or something. Somewhere I think I have see something like this but I cannot remember where. The swelling or blister or whatever makes the eyeball sit ontop with the big bulge is underneath the eye. I hope I explained that OK...
I am not sure what happens if I add to this old question I had posted but I thought I would try since the pics are already here. This hanging down part under the Turkeys neck is just hard as a rock, in fact it feels like a rock out of my gravel driveway. Anyone know if there is anyway a rock...
