One of my Banty hens has been missing for several days now and I just found her today trapped under a bucket. When I first found her she could still walk a little and ate quite a bit but she would not drink anything. Later this afternoon her health has gotten far worse and I noticed that she's...

I have three bourbon red turkeys, one male and two females, about a year old and today my tom just decided to attack me. I was wearing an American sweat shirt with red white and blue. Having heard that these colors are known to tick off toms, I decided to go back inside and put on a camoflouge...

My hens began laying about a month ago and we were getting about three eggs a day then suddenly we weren't getting any eggs at all. I placed an egg in the middle of the coop as a test and waited. Eventually my geese came wobbling along and start chowing down on the egg! Since then I've caught...

So I've got four embden geese that are about nine months old and they've got a big coop that they share with chickens and turkeys. I lock them in every night and nearly every morning they come out just honking and seeming as happy as can be, but they've usually got big poop stains all over their...

I have a mixed flock consisting of geese, chickens, and turkeys and am currently feeding 16% layer crumbles mixed with 18% all flock pellets. I was wondering if I could drop the layer crumbles and replace them with higher protein gamebird feed because I've heard that the extra calcium in the...

I went out this morning to let out my birds. I have 11 chickens 4 geese and 4 turkeys and I found one of my Cochin hens huddled in a corner with all of her feathers on her back gone and her back covered in blood. I have her isolated in a small pen with food and water. It was the best I could do...

Hey y'all, So I have four bourbon red turkeys that are about four months old. No idea if they're males or females, but one of mine has started to act a little wierd. Every time I go out to see the birds, he runs up to me all excited but then he puffs up and makes this wierd "buckweeeet"...

I've got 4 bourbon red turkeys that are about 6-7 weeks old I would guess. How can I determine if they're boys or girls? I have pictures if that would help.

I have a day old embden gosling and I don't know if it's a boy or girl. I hear that you can tell by the gray on their back. Can anybody tell me what I've got? Or are there any other methods?

So this morning is day three after externally pipping on my little embden goose egg and he still hasn't hatched out yet. He is just sitting with his little beak hanging out of a small hole that he made three days ago. He's very quiet, but he's moving. His beak moves as be breathes and sometimes...

Hello all. I'm getting four bourbon red turkey poults tomorrow and I'm overjoyed! I was just wondering if anybody had any experience with these birds and if anybody could share their experience. I hear that they're very sweet birds with great personality. Do they go broody? Are they good...

So today is the two week mark for my embden goose eggs. I candled them and the first one looked great, big veins running all over and I could see movement, but the second egg was just a dark blob on one side of the egg. I couldn't make out any veins or see any movement. Is the egg okay or has it...

I have a little old English game bantam named kiwi who is, for the most part, a very sweet rooster. I can go out there and sit and and he'll hop up on my lap and I can pet him and I'll give him a treat and he'll immidiatley give it to the nearest hen, but when I stand up its like my feet are...

Hi. I have been incubating two embden goose eggs that I received from my neighbor. I have hatched chicken and duck eggs, but never goose eggs. I have a mini incubator so I have to turn the monster eggs by hand and I do this 5 times daily. The temperature is at 99.5*F and I don't have a way to...

I am on day four with two embden goose eggs that my neighbor gave to me. I'm wondering if they are developing the way they should or if they're no good. ** Egg One ** **Egg Two** ** This is just an egg to compare to. It's just been sitting in my refrigerator and hasn't been in the incubator**

My Neighbor gave me a couple of Emden goose eggs about two days ago and I put them in the fridge as soon as I got them and it dawned on me today that it might be cool to try and hatch the two eggs. I'm not sure though if they will even hatch after having been in the fridge. I have them sitting...

I just bought a pair 5-6 month old Lady Amherst and a pair of Goldens this weekend. They aren't super crazy and wild, but not as tame as I'd like them to be. I can get within 2 feet of them before they start to get a little uncomfortable. I actually was able to pet my male Amherst for a few...

I have been looking into pheasants lately and have narrowed my top three choices down to Grey Peacock Pheasants, Lady Amherst Pheasants, or Swinhoes Pheasants. Does anybody know of any breeders in Oregon or other surrounding states? Also anybody who has dealt with one or more of these birds is...

Yesterday while I was walking out to go give my ducks some treats I saw my Head male Drako mating with my younger male Wilson... Wilson along with his sister Oswald are new to the flock, and Wilson is taking a beating. He usually is on the opposite side of the fence as the others but still stays...

I've noticed that my ducks feathers have started to become dry and not so water proof. They have access to water. Though it's only a small tub. It's not over breeding because my male ducks are just as bad as the females. What's going on and how can I help? [/IMG]
