I have had issues with incorrect positioning, inside their egg. Most common, for me, has been too long in the incubator 'turning' cycle. Chicks usually need 3 days of no 'forced rolling' to allow them to properly position for hatching. On a few occasions I have experienced the improper...

Wow, your first roo pic looks like a sizzle roo. Cutey! We have 2 frizzle roos that swap duties with breeding silkie hens. We breed for frizzles & sizzles, of course. We get 30-40% satins and straight Feathered silkies, usually. I have rehomed some beautiful babies that carried that frizzle...

Hello all, For the most part, things are running smoothly around our house. We adopted 9 hens last year that were in need of rehoming! They blessed us with 31 new chicks very shortly after arriving. We chose to rehome most of the chicks except for 6 young hens. Those young hens are starting to...

I am a little slow finding this post, but in regards to the original question of geese raising ducks. It has been my experience with broody geese, that you can "smuggle" in young ducklings. We have no ganders!!! If a goose has set on her eggs for close to the incubation period, I have stolen...

Sorry, delayed! Things got hectic around here!! No real changes overall. Crusty scabs over her eye came back a little thinner and lighter colored. Maybe less edema... No visible lesions in her mouth. She has had a decreased appetite for weeks but is still eating & drinking enough to not really...

Vet is not an option. $100 emergency visit fee or 1.5-2 month wait.

My little lady has a scab like crusty covering on 1 eye. When soaked and removed, she appears to have little bumps under the covering. I noticed a few more little bumps on her face also. The eye has no pus or discharge. Only very watery when uncovered and opened. Also swollen. Have been treating...
