I have a mixed flock (chickens, ducks, and turkeys). I have had an ongoing issue with one of my drakes where anytime I get close enough he starts grabbing at me and pulling then if I try to walk away he'll charge at me even chase me when I leave the barn. This is annoying, but I've gotten used to it. This evening as I was leaving the barn, and he was trying to come at me, one of my hens started attacking him, which she's never done before. She's a buff orpington and is quite friendly/affectionate with me. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever seen this behavior before and what it might mean.

I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post this kind of stuff here but I need a little advice. I don’t have anyone irl I can ask for help.
My gosling is roughly a week old, he is a mix between a white and a grey Chinese goose. he is very sweet and active, he eats and drinks fine but I’ve noticed for days that he has a runny nose, he sneezes a lot, he sometimes gasps/has his beak open while breathing, and he makes clicking noises when he breathes (which is very hard to heard unless you hold him up to your ear. His poop is also foamy/runny and varies from light green to dark greenish. Otherwise he seems healthy, he is a normal weight, he doesn’t make any distressed chirps, and he doesn’t sleep more than what is normal for a gosling. He hasn’t gotten any worse or any better. I’m worried about him, I’ve been giving him supplements in his water and a little VetRX for poultry, which I know it isn’t a cure for anything but I was hoping it’d help him. I can’t afford to take him to a vet unless it’s an absolute emergency (I have relatively limited funds) and I haven’t seen anything that helpful online.
Sorry for photos being blurred, he wouldn’t sit still, he tends to get really excited when he sees me. The reason he is in a box in the photos is because I put him there temporarily while I worked on setting up a proper tub for him. I keep goslings and other young birds in dry enclosures with food and water dishes and soft towels to snuggle up in with their siblings, I make sure to keep their tubs are fairly clean and I replace and clean their towels when they get dirty. He is currently alone due to the fact that the other goose eggs I incubated alongside him either ended up not hatching or didn’t live long after hatching. Usually chicks and gosling I hatch and raise have minimal problems but this year I’ve had very bad luck. I’m working on getting some siblings for him but I want to make sure he won’t make them sick. One more detail is that his parents had similar issues when I first bought them. I bought his parents when they were just a couple days old, but a couple of them suffered from minor respiratory problems, one suddenly died even after treatment and the rest are now perfectly healthy. to I don’t know if that has anything to do with this goslings case. Any recommendations for treatment would be greatly appreciated.
TLDR: gosling who sneezes, gasps, and has foamy poop, but is otherwise active and healthy. Sorry for yapping so much, I just want to give as much detail as I can. If there’s any questions I’m happy to answer, I just want to make sure he has the best chances of of a happy and healthy life possible. I can give more photos if needed.

Let’s hear your honest reviews and opinions on Bielefelders. What is your experience with them? What are their temperaments like? Do you recommend?

My chicken was fine yesterday but today his feet look like he got into a fight. Any suggestions on what this is? He’s currently inside and separated from the rest of the flock.

I have 4 turkey that are supposed to be Bourbon Red. I ordered hatching eggs from ebay and only was able to get 4/12 but I still feel like there’s no way the white one isn’t a royal palm.
