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...

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...

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??

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...

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!

I brought home a lavender bantam pullet and an olive egger pullet today, but I’m curious about the specifics of those breeds. The bantam has feathers on her feet. Cochin maybe? I’m new at chickens. Any input on the breeds, ages, or genders one would be awesome!

They’re a little over 5 weeks old. I’ve raised so many ducklings and never dealt with angel wing before, now I think I have 3 birds affected. What are the chances?

I came home from a short trip today to find my incubator knocked on its side (it was on the floor). My only casualty is one egg landed directly on its air sack end and it broke. It looks like the membrane is in tact. The rest of the eggs look fine, I candled them. I think it happened right when...

Yesterday, my flock came home from their daily exploring around the creek behind my property bit early. My embden was covered in blood from wiping her neck all over her body. I quickly found the source of blood to be a hole in the side of her neck (photo) and a small, much less bloody protrusion...

So, I had 3 ducks. A drake and 2 hens. I managed to successfully hatch 1 of 7 eggs and had to raise the lonely duckling in my house. When she was small my Drake constantly tried to kill her, now he's always trying to mate, which is horrifying to my baby girl. She's always on the run when she's...
