Does anyone have any feedback to give on the Zoologix privately owned lab in California? I'm looking into sending some samples to them so I can test for respiratory illnesses in my flock.
Thanks!
I have 2 Pilgrim goslings ordered for the end of April, that I will be picking up from a hatchery. I believe this place imports them from another source. It's not my first time raising goslings as I already have a few adult geese, however it will be my first time integrating youngsters with...

Looking for insight from anyone who may have knowledge to share! My favorite little hen (9 month old Orpington) died on Monday night and I attempted a basic necropsy (my first time).
Her symptoms: 3 days before death she seemed slightly less active first thing in the morning...
This might be a long shot but worth a post. I have a 4 year old gander, who just over a week ago went off all feed, but drinking water and eating some dirt. Subsequently, he's lost a lot of weight now and fairly lethargic but still walking around. He seems somewhat interested in food at times...
So I'm looking into finally getting another goose, to keep with one of my ganders. I currently have 2 ganders and 2 geese. The one gander (Thor) I've had separated from the other male and females for over a year due to him being extremely agressive, especially in spring/summer. My other gander...
Does anyone have any tips or tricks on getting a small flock to accept new people? I suppose this is the worst time of year to even attempt, but my flock of 2 ganders and 2 geese are incredibly particular and pretty much only let myself, my husband and my dad in their yard (they're mostly...
Hi all, hope that I'm posting this in the right place....this morning I have a gander who is regurgitating water and a bit of food. He keeps trying to drink however, and then regurgitates it back up a while after. I'm wondering if there could be an issue with his crop?? I'm not sure how to help...
Hi all, I just watched one of my geese swallow a fairly large root piece from the bottom of some dandelions, maybe just slightly smaller than a walnut. He had a hard time getting it down, I ran out and tried to massage it back up, but no luck really. Eventually with some head shaking and hard...
Hi all, I hope I've posted this in the right place...I have 4 geese, one which is acting a little strange and wiggles his neck back and forth quite a bit, not necessarily gaping his mouth, but also has some watery poops. I'm suspicious of worms but don't have a vet that will take a fecal sample...
