    Is this an ok size for 2 and 1/2 week gosling?

    So Zilla was cleared by the vet and hasn’t had any more leg issues so far but we were advised to get some worming treatment anyway just incase which will be here by Sunday at the latest - I’m mainly just slightly concerned as it feels like she’s not growing very fast and sadly I don’t have her...

    Chick with crooked/bent toes. How do I fix them?

    My smallest chick is about 3 weeks old and the majority of its toes are bent/crooked. It's very energetic and likes to play in the backyard, but its toes worry me because I'm concerned it won't be able to perch and roost as it gets older. It also has a growth problem, as all the others chicks...

    Chick with stunted growth. What's the cause?

    One of my chicks is 3 weeks olds now and barely grew at all. Sure, it gained more feathers but it's size hasn't considerably increased. What's the cause? Is it a parasite? Is it just sick with something, or is it just naturally weaker than my other chicks. It had a very irritated vent in the...

    Selenium for wry neck

    I just got liquid selenium for my 4 month silkie to help her absorb all the vitamin E she's getting, but I have no way of measuring the correct dosage. I know selenium is highly toxic if a chicken gets too much. The bottle has a dropper but no labels. Anyone have any advice? I'm supposed to give...
