    What happened to the gosling?

    I rescued some baby gosling eggs a couple weeks ago, and had one hatch Sunday night. After about 12 hrs of no progress but still breathing I decided to go ahead and help assist it. I removed the top portion and they were able to get out on their own, yolk sac absorbed. We named this one Meadow...

    Dealing with summer heat in faverolles

    This isn't anything urgent and I just want to ask. How do you deal with salmon faverolles during summer? I'm a bit concerned as it isn't summer yet and one of our faverolles was panting in the coop. Outside she isn't panting but I can't imagine the swelter that's going to be inside that coop...

    Is it safe for chicken to be outside after putting fertilizer on grass and plants?

    My dad put fertilizer on the grass and some plants yesterday, I brought my chicken in after I saw that.

    Why did green liquid come out of my duck’s vent?

    This is the second time it’s happened. This happened once awhile back, but we believed it wasn’t a very big deal since it was the first time it’d happened and nothing showed up online. She seemed fine and she does now too, she doesn’t seem particularly unwell after pooping this, so we’re not...

    What are these clusters in egg white

    Hello, can anyone help me out with identifying what these blue clusters are in this egg white? This egg was laid by our only cream legbar hen. She is 8 months old. As with her breed the egg shell is a sky blue color; similar to those clusters. This has happened only once before with her. She...

    How can I easily clean up my duck?

    Is there any way I can easily clean up and look after my duck when she lives indoor and often stays on a bed without having to constantly buy dog diapers for her? It’s hundreds of dollars a month just for her dog pads and that really isn’t working out when she needs food, treats, and toys...

    Is this normal after eating tomatoes and eggs or is this unusual??

    She’s been eating tomatoes and eggs for awhile now, but the color of her poop seems to be getting slightly darker? I think. Is poop like this normal for other ducks after they eat tomatoes and eggs too? Is this logically healthy or is this a warning of some kind? Thank you!

    Metal Toxicity and Eggs

    Last year in may one of my geese, consumed a washer and bolt/screw. She was rushed to the vet when she became lethargic and thus started chelation therapy. Within about a month and a half she successfully passed the metal and was back to being happy/healthy. I was wondering if anyone has any...

    How can I help my duck lose fat when she has an infection?

    She is one years old and she’s a duck. She usually eats Manna pro duck feed, but she’s been eating tomatoes and eggs as her main meals lately. I believe she’s having trouble laying eggs because she’s gotten too fat. It’s likely unhealthy for her, so I’d like to help her however I can, but I’m...

    Does my duck seem sick?

    The vet said she isn’t overweight, rather she’s a little underweight, but.. She doesn’t exactly look it. That aside, is her abdomen swollen??

    Where do you work!?

    As the title says… where do you work!? You don’t have to say the exact company or anything like that… just the field/type is fine for anonymity sake. Or whatever you’d prefer. I just thought this might be an interesting thread. Especially since I’m trying to get ideas on where to work myself. I...

    Have you ever fed your ducks Honey Dew before?

    I want to give it to my duck as a tasty treat, but I’m worried it might not actually be safe. I’ve read articles saying it’s safe, but many articles say it’s safe to eat grapes and some other foods for certain animals when it can actually be rather dangerous. It isn’t a well known fact, but some...

    For context, I used to have a mixed sex flock, but recently gave away all my girls and kept the boys. Now, after a few days with no girls, my drakes seem to be... flirting with each other? They’ve been head-bobbing at each other like crazy! Way more than when the girls were still around. I’ve...
