    Thank you for all your replies. My lovely Silly passed in the night before the avian specialist came to work. I just don't even know where to begin to find another good girl like that .

    Help with injured Toulouse Goose!

    thanks all; the veterinary assistants have her tucked in and as comfortable as they can get her, and we'll hear tomorrow what the bird specialist has to say. So glad I'm not the only one with a Goose in the Family!

    Help with injured Toulouse Goose!

    I haven't seen him, but I'm not seeing much being laid up with this multi-fracture. Funny thing about that Gander; he was born on our property 2 years ago , the only surviving gosling of a nest that was attacked by a night predator. One of our chickens took him under her wing, until he...

    Help with injured Toulouse Goose!

    Help with injured Toulouse Goose!

    Hello everyone. My beautiful Toulouse has been quite naughty this week, and has refused to hang in the barn overnight. Today my husband found her in the yard dragging her wing; it appears she may have been attacked while out. I would have administered basic common sense first aid, but am...

    Hidden Nest? Or just crazy Banty?

    I'm not opposed to her hatching her eggs, but I'd like her to do it where she is protected and has access to food and water. Still haven't found her or her nest, but am trying to read up on what to do if we find her, so that I can make sure she doesn't die in this hot temps and hellatious storms.

    Hidden Nest? Or just crazy Banty?

    Hi! Wondering if all you folks who know more than me can translate my little red banty's behavior. Right now, my tiny little flock free ranges. 2 RIR roosters and 2 RIR hens, 2 small red banties, a grey banty, and her 6 chicks which are looking to be 3 roos and 3 hens, but just getting out on...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    We got 4 out of the 4 hens that are laying today, for the first time since we got them for a Mother's Day gift this year. 2 RIR hens, and 2 little red banties... the RIR that wasn't laying before, layed a huge, bizarre shaped egg today, think it was her first! Wondering how long it will be...

    2 mos old chickens and rain

    I am so glad this topic came up! It's been raining felines and canines all day, and my little feathered friends have been tucked in the barn. I thought they were too susceptible to the cold to play outside. Now I'll know better!

    Lost two birds today...due to one of our dogs

    I feel so bad for you! I'm worried about the same thing happening here. Just got chickens this week, and I know my dogs are excited about them, but I'd prefer they ignore them. A Westie and an Australian Shepherd. When I haven't had them on the leash, or have been out of their sight, I put...
