Coda (short for Codependent-we renamed her) absolutely will not stand to be in the coop. We have a wolf dog who lives outside so keeping the coop impenetrable hasn’t been a big deal for us - raccoons and coyotes don’t come into a wolf’s yard…and wouldn’t last long if they did. Point is, she can...

I have a flock of six 7 or 8 week chickens that I got all around the same time as chicks. When I brought them home, one of the chicks was a lot smaller than the rest, even though she was “allegedly” the same age. She didn’t seem to be thriving competing with the other chicks, and my neighbor’s...

Thank you, I just re-wrapped the leg with splints, turns out the tendon was still in place, but I feel better with it splinted. What’s a better feed/source of protein? The only reason she’s not on turkey starter is that I can’t find any in feed stores in my area, and I had read somewhere that...

Has anyone had any luck healing a turkey poult with a slipped tendon? Mines about 3 weeks old, give or take. I’ve got her in isolation, popped the tendon back into place, giving her chicken starter (which I know doesn’t have enough protein) egg yolk (for extra protein), B complex, and nutri...

Yes! I’m in Oregon :)

The lady at TS was certain she was a lady mallard, but she’s got a green sheen to her feathers and she doesn’t seem to look like the mallard or mallard mixes I see on google. About 6ish weeks old

Posted on the emergency thread too but thought it might get some attention here: My Turkey is almost 2 weeks old. Two days ago I noticed that she seemed to be limping slightly. She seemed otherwise fine, so I assumed it was because her feet are giant and she keeps tripping over her own toes...

My Turkey is almost 2 weeks old. Two days ago I noticed that she seemed to be limping slightly. She seemed otherwise fine, so I assumed it was because her feet are giant and she keeps tripping over her own toes. She's been in the brooder or on my lap ever since (she screams if shes not with me)...

We got ducklings (planned) and chicks (on a whim). 2 of our 4 chicks drowned themselves in the duck pond - I was/am devastated. I even left escape ramps for the chickens in case they fell in, but they didn’t use them. Maybe the chicks were too young or small, but please learn from my experience...
