    Duck has hanging sternum

    Hi My mixed flock of ducks from Metzer farms has just started laying. I noticed that my magpie looks different than the rest, she has a hanging bit of flesh between her legs, on one side, I am not sure how to describe this. She acts just like the rest of the ducks. I do not know if she...

    What is this on my goose??

    I recently discovered this lump above my goose eye. Initially it was smaller than this and I found it about a month ago. I figured it was a sting of some sort but it’s been about a month later and it’s bigger. I found a similar lump just like it on his neck too. These are wiggly and not firm...

    Open Abscess?

    One of my rhode island reds last week had crooked neck. I added selenium and vitamin E and after 2 days her neck was straightened out but she was limping. Then it got to the point where she wouldn't roost up with the others and would lay her egg by the coop door and not in their regular egg...

    Do I bandage the duck's leg or not?

    One of our ducks has a leg wound (not on the foot). I've emphasized that because everything we have looked up has talked about foot injuries but it's not the same. It's a long gash, one of two wounds we found her with several days ago. We believe a predator attacked her but did not see what...

    I finally did it: I created an article on how to wrap chicken feet. I consider myself a little bit of an expert because I’ve been dealing with an ungodly amount of bumblefoot in the flock lately. *sigh* Wrapping feet is absolutely necessary after any sort of foot pad surgery (most commonly to...
