    Update and questions

    Coccidioisis in young chicks

    No photos of the poop, I probably should've said this, I ment that we refill the water every night so it goes on through the night and into the day, so the only source of water day and night is the medicated water, we are using liquid Corid(also have powered) the weather has been VERY warm so...

    Blind duck

    Blind duck

    She can hear, I moved straw around and she'll get a little defensive. I don't know when she ate last, I'd assume it was the other night, she might've eaten some of the pellets but I don't know as shes outside, the light is a good idea! I'll look into that in the morning, thank you

    Random guinea hen

    DE may not be the name of what we use, as we have a different kind of dust but we used to use DE so that's what I'm calling it, but we have used DE since we've had our birds (14+ years) unless my parents are calling it the wrong name, but thank you!

    Random guinea hen

    I know about the diseases and such yes but I don't think any of them actually interacted with it as they were more scared of it, I just am worried and wonder what we should do or look out for if they start acting strange.

    How to tame a goose?

    Alright I'll keep that in mind, usually when he hisses at me I'll try and grab him and put him in-between my legs, my mom has been trying to get him to eat from a container from her hand and he has but then he got scared and ran away- thank you
