Hey everyone!
I started writing an article on what to look for when picking up new poultry in the beginning of winter. I then got busy, (we do a lot of winter sports) and didn't finish the article. I'm picking it back up and decided I need more/better quality photos, and some more things to look for. It's a guide/list of what to look for when adopting new additions. You never know what to expect when going to someones house to adopt poultry, you could find something much different then you expected. I think plenty of us have experienced this.
I'm looking for ideas on what to add to the article. So far I've put in the article what I look for, (respiratory symptoms, bumble foot, missing feathers/over mating/bullying, parasites, and I always inspect the hosing.) I feel like I need a longer list though. What do you look for that I haven't already added?
I would also like good photos of the things listed below-
Bumble foot
Over mating
Respiratory symptoms/disease
Parasites
If you have anything else to add to the list of things to look for, feel free to post photos along with it if you are okay with me using them. I wasn't able to find an article like this on BYC, and thought it would be a good addition. Thanks guys!
