She looks like the final boss fight. “And now you must face the God Empress of chickendom!”

Can you get a clearer picture of his eyes? Is it possible to get him to a vet? Yolk sac infections are very severe and can spread through the body quickly. I’m not sure what’s wrong with the eyes but it almost looks like some sort of conjunctivitis or other eye infection, though it’s hard to...

Also a possible vitamin deficiency.

Do you have any Baytril on hand? This looks like an infection!

Nah the girls are usually non-confrontational unless a nest is involved. Delphi and Dandelion don’t like it if I get near their nests while they’re on them so I just don’t bother. Friday and Tuesday aren’t bothered at all even if I reach under them and pull an egg out, Apricot is unpredictable...

I don’t know why geese get such a bad rap. I have gotten good about dealing with hormonal spring angst and anticipating and avoiding bites but even still. The score so far: My 6 ganders: 5 attempted bites, only one landed a bite. My two drakes: I lost count. Just this last week alone I was...

I can advertise on instagram for you if that’s okay? Pictures might help.

I’m now obsessed with this combination, that baby looks like it has hawk barring.

WOW I didn’t see this picture! I’ve never seen this before. I’ve seen white, buff, grey, dilute grey “which might be called lavender as I said in my last comment but I’m not sure” but I haven’t seen one with grey AND buff at the same time.

Oooo it looks like it got a partial dilution gene, very pretty! I think they call these lavender.

It looks like the umbilical didn’t quite close right, keep it clean and it should dry up and close fine. Keep an eye on it for signs of infection though.

It could be lack of circulation + vitamin deficiencies. All of my girls turn gostly white in the legs after brooding. You can piper them on a vitamin mix, maybe add meal worms, soldier fly larva, or dry cat food to boost protein.

How is the little one now?

I dunno, they look pretty yellow to me! 😂

I’ve realized the commonality between ducks and geese. If you dump water out, if you throw water out, pick a bucket up, knock a bucket over, rattle a bucket, do anything with a bucket you will unleash the rage of a thousand dying suns.
