Hello!
I've never experience wry neck in any of my birds (I've had chickens my entire life with some breaks inbetween) but an acquaintance has been getting multiple cases of it in every silkie hatch.
I know it is prevelant in silkies because of their skull shape, but I was wondering why it...

Here is a video, the noises are a little closer to the end. The gasping on the small one is increased with me being in the pen. Also, pardon the pen being shorter, she normally free ranges but I was containing her and the baby until...
Hi!
I have a rescued peahen, I was driving down the road and found her in a ditch during a storm two years ago, she had a wing injury and respiratory issues that seemed to occasionally flare up over the years.
She hatched out two babies this year after we got her a friend.
One of the babies...
Edit: Resolved! I posted in a facebook goose group, before this, it just required an approval and I was worried I needed to do something immediately. Thanks!
I chatted a bit with Sigrid about that, and her skin is black and there isn't any pigmentation change in the skin. She said there won't be a change in skin pigmentation because it attacks the misshappen pigment cells in the feathers.
She also said this might be why after her molt this time...
I wasn't sure which are to put this in, but it is a story so this seems like the best place!
The Beginning
I love Ayam Cemani, they're my favorite chicken breed! There was a woman who I had followed for a few months, she was on the breeder's list (I only say this now because she is no longer...
Hey all,
My sweetest goose, Goosezilla got in the way of my Nigerian dwarf goats when I brought them in the barn today and one of them stepped on the goose's foot.
I've brought them in like this for years and this is the first time it's happened but I'll be changing how I bring them in to...
Thanks :( I'm wondering if this is the case.
I just lost another one, same symptoms..just a tiny bit of bloodied feet and otherwise no external injuries.
We have some woven wire fence that the muscovies fly over to get to the pond, I don't think he could have gotten caught anywhere.
Maybe he did get in a fight, I thought it was weird that it was both middle toenails but they do like to get under the goats all the time. Fingers crossed it's just...
Hello!
I have a two year old muscovy drake that I noticed walking with one wing dragging yesterday. When I went to catch him he started hustling away but started using his wings to pull himself along the ground.
I check his body for injuries, he had two cracked toenails on the middle toe on...
Ohh this is great information, thank you. I'll contact them. I have some 6 inch swabs, my husband is an army medic and we have a bunch of excess supplies. Thank you!
She's never been wormed, so I can do a worming, I do have Safeguard. She was on the side of the road by a swamp on public hunting grounds with an injured wing so I have no idea what her previous health history was but it's been and up and down with it, luckily she's been tough and making it...
