They do their job well. Nothing messes with our ladies. They chase off cats and things. They just do their job too well. The ladies are safe.. from unwanted attention as well. It really couldn’t be anything else. It’s got be the geese. I don’t think he’s getting stuck anywhere.. and no one else...

I could maybe temporarily.. they “free range” in the fenced in yard.. which is big enough for them to avoid each other. So to separate them it would have to be my locking someone up in the run during the day.. and that would only be sustainable for a couple days. Do geese imagine themselves as...

They roost in the rafters.. so I don’t think it’s at night. I imagine they’re just catching him in the yard. Maybe while he’s drinking and not watching? I’ve only seen him get grabbed during mating when he didn’t get enthusiastic consent. It must be happening more than that for how bald he’s...

I think this is where this goes? Sorry if it’s not. I think my geese are pulling out my roosters butt and wing feathers. Not his tail but under it is bald. It looks ridiculous. Any ideas on how to help him out? I can’t separate them unfortunately. They leave him alone unless he gets too close...

She seemed like she was getting stronger. I just fed her. Same as I have been. Careful to avoid her windpipe.. wearing a headlamp to see.. afterwards she flopped around and died. Her throat was clear.. her crop has the food in it. No idea what happened. But she died. So. That’s that, I guess.

She’s still here. The tube feeding might be working? Initially her crop still just wasn’t emptying. I got a bit frustrated with it and finally found something that said to massage her crop downwards towards the “V”. That was the piece I was missing. I massaged the liquid food in there and she...

Yours was choking? If you cleared it, I reckon she’ll go back to normal. I can’t imagine choking a little bit would shift her hormones that much? But I can’t be sure

Spent all day today running around trying to find equipment to tube feed her. We did eventually find a vet with some stuff.. then the tube is a little thin. But we couldn’t find any baby bird food anywhere. I read online that you can use cat food. I have kitten food so I blended it up with water...

I don’t think it’s Mareks. She’s not paralyzed. She just can’t stand. She tries.. but she’s too weak maybe? I’m not sure. I hadn’t thought about baby bird feeding her.. I wonder if that could bring her back from the brink.

She’s still with us, but I don’t think she’s going to recover. We did end up finding round worm in her poop.. so we dewormed her, but I think it was maybe too late. She’s waif thin and I’m having a hard time convincing her to eat. Been trying to feed her cooked yolk. She ate some yesterday, but...

I can. Idk how I’d get her to take the tho. She is absolutely hell to get to take anything. She was picking out the whole corn this morning. But she has feed in the same bowl. Her poop was… green gritty water all last night. I know chickens stink but that smell was something else. I mean it...

Her crop is smaller.. but not empty. She’s still eating and drinking tho 🤷🏻‍♀️ Her poop smells like death tho. I don’t know how else to describe it. I dry heaved cleaning it up

I’ll have to take food away from her tonight and see. Her crop is hard as a rock now.. when it was mushy last night. She has food and water available.. I have a cardboard bow and a pillow sheet rigged to hold her up so she’s not just laying on her side. She tried to preen herself after I washed...

She’s under a year. They aren’t stiff and she’ll let me move them. They both still work normal

She’s not standing at all. She’s just on her side

Hello. Sorry I didn’t get to this sooner. She isn’t curling her toes unless I play with her feet. We got her from the local feed store. She’s from one of the big hatcheries so idk if she’s vaccinated. She does appear to be eating. Idk how to describe her crop. It’s squishy but not like there’s...

Alas.. there has been no change 😩

Well.. being here and also shrugging instead of immediately saying “oop.. that’s a sign of impending death” is helpful 🤣 I guess we’ll hope she feels better in the morning

Maybe 🤷🏻‍♀️ she’s in a small space with all her needs met so maybe not having to move will help? Perhaps I’ll give her a chicken aspirin and see if that improves her mobility. I did give her some electrolytes/vitamin water as well. I hate that she can’t tell me what’s wrong 😭😭

I don’t even know what to take a picture of to show yall so I’ll try to explain it. We went out into the yard to feed everyone and noticed Merlin, one of our Easter eggers, was just sitting off to the side of the feeding area. I didn’t think too much over it until I came back into the area and...
