I swear I thought my goose had a bumble on his foot. I just now found it. So I brought him in, soaked the foot, then started picking the scab and as soon as I did it started bleeding. A lot. So I was wanting to get a second opinion on it since it was my first time dealing with bumble foot. I...
Thank you! I may try and put a hen in there tomorrow and hope she doesn’t cause too much trouble. It has been difficult with sick pets. This is my first time ever having turkeys so I have little experience with this kind of stuff.
Okay. Thank y’all so much for helping. We will call around in the morning to see if anyone will look at him. Also, here is the poop picture I got since he finally went. He is our favorite Tom and hope he gets better soon. Should we put a hen in with him so he shouldn’t get lonely?
I think vet is an option. I haven’t been able to get a poop sample because he lives with others so I wasn’t able to differentiate between his and others. But I’ve gotten him inside under a lamp.
We live in Arkansas, so it’s not freezing however it has been raining the past two days. And I thought that it could be peck wounds too but he is acting very lethargic and drowsy.
I went down to the barn today and saw that my 8 month old Royal Palm was lethargic, shivering, and his head has scabs all over it and his caruncles are swollen. I offered him food and he ate about three bites and then quit. Anybody know what’s going on?
I have some five week old welsummers and I am noticing that one looks completely different than the others. Is this a completely different breed or is it just a weird looking welsummer? Is it a sign of a rooster? They are both supposed to be a welsummer pullets and the one on the left, I...
Is it normal for my gander to be molting this early in the season? They have been breeding since early January. He’s a dewlap toulouse and about one year old.
Thank you! Our boys have also been not-so-friendly with each other either. I thought it was unusual that my geese started to lay in mid-January, but the sooner the better I guess!
We just set our first ever clutch last Saturday from our dewlap toulouses and we found today that three are fertile! We are super excited! These pics were taken on on Thursday, 2/15.
My goose just started laying her first eggs on Sunday and this is the first time we have ever tried to incubate our eggs. How long can I collect before I set them? She has laid 2 since Sunday.
