Thank you. Yes I would like to treat the new hens, if I can. I’m not one to cull and the drive to give them back is a big one. They’re quarantined in their own structure on one side of my property, while my flock is fenced in on the other side.

Hi! So yesterday I brought home 4 new golden comet hens, and they’re in quarantine. Today I noticed this (see photo) what do I do?? It’s only one eye. I also have ducks and geese. I’ve read about what it might be, are the other birds in trouble?? What’s the point of quarantine if I’m going to...

Thanks for the tip! I just went and got some calcium citrate and got her to eat most of a pill, which was unexpectedly easy once I crushed it. Then she ate some food and drank a bunch of clean water. Do you have any input on the loss of feathers? We lost our rooster 3 months ago and it’s very...

That’s so nice of you! Thank you!☺️

Update- She laid an egg!! She still seems unwell though

Oh maybe I should add, I’m dealing with what is most likely mareks in my flock with now. 2 2 month old chicks (from Chakira) started with the extended leg, loss of mobility, green poop… the vet tested feathers and came back negative but I know you need more than feathers to rule out mareks...

Yesterday I noticed Chakira, my 9 month old bantam, acting a bit off. Her feathers were fluffed, she hasn’t laid in a few days, and she would just stop and close her eyes randomly. Today these symptoms were much more extreme, and her butt was very messy. I took her inside for an epsome salt bath...

Thank you for sharing that experience. It’s hard to find information on this specific event and I’m so worried about it! I have a vet appointment next week for her but I’m thinking I should skip it and wait a bit and see what I can because I know it’ll cost me an arm and a leg for potentially...

Last week we brought home a sibling pair of 4 month old goats, a buck and a doe. We banded the buck yesterday but I’m worried she could be pregnant already. I know she’s too small to carry out a pregnancy and you shouldn’t inbreed goats, what do I do??

Little one didn’t make it😞😞. I looked a bit closer at everything and turns out, you all were right it seems to be yolk sac. For anyone who sees this in the future looking for gosling advice, it takes MUCH longer for a gosling to hatch after the first pip, that’s why everything online says 28-35...

Not yet, but I did a bit more. Maybe these are better?

I did a tiny bit more egg removal this morning, baby is still chirping like she’s healthy. But this mass on the side has not gone down at all, and I can’t tell but I don’t think it’s directly attached to the naval, see photo. She stays in the incubator, I can’t find any signs of life anymore in...

This is a Embden/Chinese gosling, day 30. So two mornings ago I got my first pip, on the side of the shell no where near the air sac. Tonight (60 hours later) I started the assist. It was very shrink wrapped and the veins are dry, no blood. I’ve been doing little bits throughout the evening and...

She seems completely fine now! I haven’t seen that stuff on her leg since. Sorry to sound an alarm😅

So I brought her in to before putting them all away, and it seems to be completely cleared up. Definitely not bumble foot. I can’t imagine what she may have gotten into if it was just something she picked up and got stuck to her leg. I will continue to pay special attention to her and keep you...

A few weeks ago I noticed Amelia, my 1yo female goose, walking a little weird. I couldn’t see anything wrong then, and the limp has been sort of on and off. Today I found this. It looks like maybe a fungus? Has anyone else seen anything like this? Please help!

He crowed for the very first time today!!!🥰 Y’all are spot on.

I’m actually super excited about my boy! Thank you!
