    5 day old Gosling wont open her eyes after dog pulled her out of the brooder

    Just FYI. I tried to get pictures last night but the gosling was not having it and would not sit still. But today both eyes are open and she's a happy bird. The fogginess appears to be gone. I don't see any abrasions and she's eating and pooping and drinking water and ... just living. The only...

    5 day old Gosling wont open her eyes after dog pulled her out of the brooder

    My heart is so worried. I went outside for just a few minutes to put some potatoes in the ground. I was gone for less than two minutes just trying to get some sun and my garden going... I came back in to my brooder crumpled and one of my baby goslings missing. I heard it chirping from the other...

    Chicken foot caught in foot trap

    It could be room temp. It's hard to tell. He holds it up near his body in his feathers so it could be warm from that. I assume if its room temp then there's no blood supply and he's going to lose the leg. That would be heartbreaking

    Chicken foot caught in foot trap

    No weight at all unfortunately. He's been in a kennel in our bathroom to rest away from others. We let him out to hop around. He doesn't react when we touch his foot. The bobcat was our bad. We had two and took care of one, but didn't realize the second one was around. We finally have a bobcat...

    Chicken foot caught in foot trap

    A bobcat. The injury is about a week old. It looked okay. I feel like we would have cleaned it with triple antibiotic but I can't remember

    Chicken foot caught in foot trap

    First, let me acknowledge that I made a mistake with the foot trap. I put out foot traps to trap a predator (as instructed by the DFW) and like a dumb dumb thought chickens couldn't set it off. One from my bachelor flock escaped their pen and wanted to go say hi to the ladies and got trapped...

    5 month old goose laid 1st egg

    Just randomly chiming in: I found this thread because my nearly 5 month old goose appeared to start laying and I was searching to see if it was even possible. There is so little out there that says "hey, yeah 5 months is totally possible." We got three that were born on April 9th. We got several...

    Chick born yesterday is this umbilical cord? Is this normal?

    I am not an expert so I hope someone can come along and confirm this. I just wanted to get you an answer ASAP. That does appear to be an umbilical cord and you do not want to do anything to it. As I understand it, doing so could seriously harm or kill the chicken. It will resolve itself in a...

    Getting a second coop for new chicks before integrating? What size?

    Hello! I am probably overthinking this but I wanted to get some feedback on integrating flocks. I have read several threads about this but still have a few questions. I wasn't sure if I should post here or in the coop form but opted here since it's an integration question? For starters, I have...

    10 week White Crested Polish... Going crazy

    Let me preface this by saying I have gone back and forth on this. Today I am leaning heavily towards cockerel. We love them either way, I just need to know! We ordered 10 more chickens for September and we want a rooster. My preference is not a Polish Roo but... that's life and he's family...
