Can someone tell me about tetramycin? I had my birds on it as a precaution....long story. But about 4 days ago my son dropped one of our mallard ducklings- about 5 weeks old now. She fell about 3 feet into her pond....not gracefully either. Since then she seems to have less energy, and breaths...

I recently got 7 chicks at the feed store. All the guy could tell me was they were "meat birds". What does this mean? Like cornish?

Can someone tell me what to expect when my ducks start feathering out? They are about 3 weeks old and have begun to get some feathers, but they all look the same- I thouhgt I would be able to tell them apart when they started.

I had five toulouse goslings, they are 2 weeks old, they were doing fine but in the last 48 hours I have lost three. They get weak and seperate themselves from the rest and then die. All this happens rather quickly. Their is a small chance they got medicated feed but Im not sure about that...

My goslings and ducklings may have eaten medicated feed, I am not 100% on this but I have lost three now. Is their something I can do? Or is it hopeless? They may have been eating it for a few days before I realized it.

I had five two week old goslings in with some ducklings, and chicks, today we found two dead in the corner? Why would this have happened? They were all doing fine.

One of my banties seven eggs are starting to hatch!!! Cant believe it, Im so excited I cant contain myself. But now what? How long will it take, should I bring it in? They are free ranged so I was thinking it would be a good idea? What do I feed it? Or should I let it be with mom during the day...

My goose has been setting for about three & a half weeks now, I was finally able to get ahold of one of her eggs today. I candled it just now (my first attempt ever), and I dont have a clue what Im seeing or supposed to see. All I can tell was I saw most of the egg was a dark mass and I easily...

I still am not sure for a few reasons if my toulouse goose is setting on fertile eggs. If they arent fertile, how long will she sit on them? Should I eventually take them from her? I have feed and water next to her now because she wont leave the nest now for nothing!! I sure hope I will have...

My geese are free range at this point, four were given to us last year and we dont know if their is a male. Anyway, one has begun disappearing all day and night, I followed her and she has a beautiful nest (12 eggs) about 50 feet back in the woods. First, can/should I move it closer to the...

Is it possible for a standard rooster to mate with a bantam hen? (I no longer have a bantam roo.) She is the biggest of the bantams but still very small compared to my barred rock roo. She is very broody right now and I'm not sure wether to leave the eggs or not. If they are fertile, I would...
