    Sebastopol Geese Flock

    I have a flock of 3 geese and 4 ganders that need a new home. The girls are a saddleback, a gray and a white with a few gray feathers. They are all smooth breasted. The ganders consist of a gray, a splash and 2 whites. These guys are all curly breasted. I would prefer that they all go...

    Pullet injured by cockerel and is now stargarzing

    One of our 5 month old pullets is stargazing and unable to walk, she just flops around. I am certain it was one of my cockerels as he has been going after the girls very aggressively for a while now. I don't know what to do to help her. I have vitamins and selenium and will give her a dose in...

    Bumblefoot or something else?

    Thank you so much for the links! I was unable to find the product locally so I placed an order on-line and it should be here early next week. Luckily she is not limping despite the swelling and doesn't seem to be in pain. I sure hope it works. Thanks again.

    Bumblefoot or something else?

    I have a hen whose foot pad is swollen along with the webbing between her toes. We soaked her foot, drained pus from between her middle and right toe, and applied antibiotic cream. I can't feel anything other that the swelling and there are no scabs other than from the small incision we made...

    Help! Two day old gosling fading fast

    The little guy passed away. On a brighter note we have a total of 4 happy, healthy goslings, all different ages. Each hatch was set a week apart and we only had one hatch or survive with each setting. All colored sebbies, can't wait to see them feather out. Oldest one looks like he will be...

    HELP! Chick hatched with extermely small vent and no tail

    We had a chick hatch 2 days ago with an extremely small vent which we had a very difficult time finding and no tail that we can seem to find. We only noticed this when it looked like he/she had a bit of pasty butt. I saw and heard her poop yesterday, kind foamy looking stuff which just stayed...

    Did I Just Pick Up A Roo?

    She looks like my English orpington pullets who are about the same age, but I've had an American orpington fool both the seller and me as the buyer, s(he) turned out to be a cockerel. The combs on my cockerels of that age are much larger and redder and yes my orps are huge too. I only have...

    Shed into Coop - Need Ideas & Suggestions

    Your progress so far looks great. One suggestion though is if you have any heavy breeds as I do is you'll want a lower roost for them. I had a rooster jump from a 28" roost and break a leg. He was about 11 pounds at the time. He never healed correctly but after a year and a half is finally...

    Help! Two day old gosling fading fast

    We had a couple goslings hatch out Wednesday. I started him on poultry Nutridrench last night just to give him a boost as we have had terrible hatches this year and many weak at hatch babies. These two seemed to be doing fine until this morning. The one can barely move his legs or wings, he...

    Chick due date but egg looks odd when candled

    Thanks Lazy Gardener, the chick was mal-positioned and unable to hatch on it's own. (S)he was very weak when I removed her from the shell, at one point she had pecked through a vein, but she is doing much better now. I'm hoping she's a splash, looks like she might be, while it looks like her...

    Chick due date but egg looks odd when candled

    I have 2 eggs that were set to hatch today. The first chick has externally pipped but the 2nd egg looks very odd. It hasn't looked right for the past 4-5 days or so and I thought that the embryo had died but I finally saw it move tonight and definitely heard it chirping. The air cell has...

    ISO Jersey giant, Amerucana and Orpingtons hatching eggs

    We hatched out a majority of black English orp. cockerels a few weeks ago and next month I will be looking to rehome them. I may also have one blue. Sorry no girls as I only ended up with 3 from the 3 dozen eggs I set (not all made it to lock down). I am in Chautauqua County so if you ever...

    Chick hatched with one cloudy eye

    Two days ago I had a chick hatch with a cloudy eye, it looks like a cataract....? Sorry I'm not able to get a picture of the eye. I'm not sure the chick can see in that eye either. He/she is only in with 3 other chicks and they don't treat her any differently. Any one ever have this happen...

    Blue and Black Orpington Cockerels

    My hatches this spring consisted of mostly cockerels and as I can only keep one or two I must re-home the rest. I would ideally like to find homes where they will have their own ladies to watch over and not go in the pot. I am located in Frewsburg, NY so please check distance before replying...

    Blues and Blacks English Orpington Cockerels

    Of the chicks that we hatched out this year 80% of them eneded up being cockerels and most need to find new homes. The parents to these birds are from Renies Peeps, Korfus Kluckers and Kim Goodman. Both blacks and blues are available. They are currently between 10 and 13 weeks old, depending...

    Ganders need a new home

    I have 3 ganders left who are all 2 years old that I need to re-home to pet homes only. I have 1 toulouse, 1 embden and 1 sebastopol mix. They are all nice boys, I just have way too many. I would prefer that they go together but am willing to split up. If taking only one you must have at...

    Cause of early embryo death???

    Thanks Gingerly1983 for the response. The parent stock is getting a good quality layer pellet, with scrambled eggs as an occasional treat. The incubator is holding temperature well (2 thermometers) with no spikes to my knowledge. I check quite often. There are goose eggs in the early stages...

    Cause of early embryo death???

    I am finally getting a majority of fertile eggs from my pullets but now every fertile that I have set is dying early. I just checked the last set and all the fertiles looked scrambled with minimal veining upon candling and when I cracked some of the eggs open the embryos appeared to be at about...
